After allowing a previous high-linepack OFO to expire Monday, Southern California Gas (SoCalGas) declared a new one for Wednesday, setting a positive daily imbalance tolerance of 10%. However, the e-mailed OFO notice did not get sent until shortly after 7:30 a.m. CDT Wednesday morning. Spokeswoman Denise King confirmed that despite the late announcement, Wednesday was the effective date of the OFO. SoCalGas also said Wednesday it had completed the final tie-in of field Line 159 at its Goleta storage facility; the work previously had been expected to last through Friday. The early finish allowed the utility to restore 140 MMcf/d of withdrawal capacity and 60 MMcf/d of injection capacity at Goleta.

Kern River said late Tuesday it had completed exhaust modifications on Unit #3 at Goodsprings Compressor Station and returned the station to its normal April operational capacity. The project originally scheduled was scheduled to run through Thursday.

Transco said it expected to complete leak repairs by Friday on its 24-inch diameter mainline in Kleberg County in South Texas (see Daily GPI, April 28), and thus will be accepting nominations for Friday’s gas day at seven meters that were required to shut in.

NGPL reported beginning installation of new mainline valves and performance of hydrostatic testing Tuesday on the Gulf Coast #2 mainline between Station 306 in Hot Springs County, AR and Station 307 in White County, AR. This work, which is scheduled to continue through June 10, required the shut-in of two locations. Other than those meters, NGPL said it does not anticipate any other customer impact.
