After implementing capacity allocations last week in the East of Wrens, Savannah Line and Cypress Line delivery groups (see Daily GPI, Sept. 21) and then canceling them Friday, Southern declared new allocations Monday for those groups and said because their demand continues to exceed scheduled deliveries, they will be subject to an OFO Type 3 Level 1 Wednesday until further notice.

Due to temporary bypass tie-in work Thursday and Friday causing zero capacity at Kemmerer Compressor Station, Northwest urged customers north of Kemmerer “to purchase enough gas from Canadian supplies, either from Sumas or Stanfield, for those two days to adequately serve their markets.” Because its Jackson Prairie storage facility account, like other storage accounts, must be 97% full by the end of Friday, Northwest said it will not be able to subsidize customer drafting during the tie-in.

Columbia Gas (TCO) said the capacity impact will be “significant — a loss of over 600,000 Dth/d” when it takes a 20- mile section of Line WB-5 out of service near Frametown Compressor Station in West Virginia for five days starting Oct. 3. The outage has been scheduled for a period when it is not expected to impact primary firm service; however, nonfirm capacity to eastern markets from western receipt points will be constrained, TCO said.
