After ending a high-linepack OFO Friday, Southern California Gas issued another one for Saturday, retaining the same 10% tolerance for positive daily imbalances.

Tennessee declared a force majeure late Thursday on its 524J-100 line in the South Timbalier area offshore Louisiana. Personnel working near the support platform on the beach at Timbalier Island reported that the pipeline was no longer resting on a support section, which appeared to have shifted and sunk about two feet, Tennessee said. Eleven meters were required to shut in. Tennessee said it would keep markets whole for the affected meters throughout the holiday weekend, allowing nominations to remain in place, and reassess whether nominations needed to be taken down Tuesday. Flow at the affected meters should remain at zero until further notice, the pipeline said, adding that the outage’s duration was still unknown Friday.

Due to maintenance that began Friday on Unit 201 at Transwestern‘s WT-2 Compressor Station in Kermit, TX, the pipeline said it reduced WT-2capacity 615,000 MMBtu/d to 450,000 MMBtu/d. It expects to restore full capacity on June 9.

Gulf South said two CenterPoint farm taps will be affected when it begins about 48 hours of maintenance at 7 a.m. CDT Tuesday on Index 301-4-2 (its six-inch diameter line from Bogalusa to Amite in South Louisiana).

Declaring a force majeure event at its Honor Rancho storage facility Friday, Southern California Gas said it would lose 50 MMcf/d of injection capacity while making compressor repairs, which are expected to last through Thursday.
