Columbia Gas (TCO) said system operational conditions have improved, allowing it to lift Monday a Critical Day for storage that had been in effect for the previous two days. Daily storage penalties are no longer in effect and interruptible services, including AutoPAL (Park and Loan), are now available, the pipeline said. TCO also said it took the WB-Loop from Granny’s Creek valve to Gassaway valve, located in Braxton and Clay counties, WV, out of service for five days Monday to make modifications to the pipeline. Four production meters have been shut in for the duration of the outage, affecting 3,406 Dth/d.

Upstream TCO affiliate Columbia Gulf also lifted its AutoPAL restriction Monday.

The email notices did not arrive until early in the morning on the days they became effective, but Southern California Gas issued high-linepack OFOs for Saturday and Sunday before ending the OFO Monday.

Questar will reduce injection capacity at its Clay Basin storage facility to 275,000 Dth/d when it takes Unit #1 down for preventive maintenance Tuesday and Wednesday. Injection capacity will return to 325,000 Dth/d Thursday.
