Pacific Gas and Electric issued a systemwide Stage 2 high-inventory OFO for Thursday on its California Gas Transmission system. The penalty for exceeding a 5% tolerance on positive daily imbalances is $1/Dth.

On Tuesday Northwest initiated two maintenance projects — a loop line bypass at Boise Compressor Station that will cut capacity by 110 MMcf/d through Thursday, and minor engine inspections on Unit #4 at Soda Springs Compressor Station that will reduce capacity by 77 MMcf/d through Friday. Installations of loop pigging equipment are set for Thursday and Friday at the Buhl and Caldwell compressor stations, Northwest said, which will result in capacity reductions of 212 MMcf/d and 45 MMcf/d, respectively, on those two days.

El Paso reported completing pipe replacement on Line 1300 ahead of schedule, allowing it to restore capacity through Lincoln Compressor Station on the San Juan Crossover to 620 MMcf/d effective with Wednesday’s Cycle 2 nominations.
