Citing low linepack on upstream pipeline Kern River, Southwest Gas issued a Hold Burn to Scheduled Quantities notice Wednesday. Southwest asked shippers to limit actual takes to no more than their scheduled nominations.

Due to low linepack, NOVA switched its imbalance tolerance range Wednesday from the normal +4/+4 to -2/+4.

In a force majeure update, Bison Pipeline told shippers that inline inspections scheduled to be completed by Friday had been extended through Monday. However, as of Thursday’s gas day Bison said it was increasing operational capacity available for shippers to 230,000 Dth/d, up from 200,000 Dth/d previously.
