Tennessee said it will implement Tuesday an Imbalance Warning requiring customers to match physical flow with scheduled quantities in Zones 0, 1, L, 2 and 4 upstream of Station 219 to prevent imbalances that would threaten its operational integrity. “Due to mild weather, Bear Creek storage field testing and high utilization through Station 219 Tennessee does not have the ability to absorb imbalances caused by overdeliveries by receipt point operators into the system and undertakes from the system by delivery point operators,” the pipeline said.

In addition to a shut-in of the GRIMES INT receipt point that began Friday due to gas quality issues, ANR said later that day it was also shutting in the ELK CITY INT location, also in the Southwest Area Fuel Segment, for the same reason.

Southern Natural Gas is declaring a force majeure event connected with the shut-in test of its Bear Creek storage facility in North Louisiana, which begins Tuesday and will continue through April 26. See the bulletin board for test-associated restrictions.
