Perhaps partially in response to recent customer protests (seeDaily GPI, Dec. 19, 2000 and Jan. 2), Northwest lifted Wednesday itsrealignment and must-flow OFOs through the Kemmerer (WY) CompressorStation but said it reserves the right to re-impose both OFOs upon 24hours’ notice. The pipeline said it determined that ending the orderswas feasible “as a result of more favorable pricing conditions,reduced northbound volumes and increased southbound volumes” throughKemmerer. The must-flow OFO was implemented Nov. 16 (see Daily GPI, Nov. 16, 2000) and had its originalrequirement of up to 10% of contract demand flowing south throughKemmerer revised several times. The realignment OFO was issued Nov. 10(see Daily GPI, Nov. 13, 2000).

Westcoast said it had ended Sunday a force majeure associated withcompressor problems on its T-South Transmission System (see Daily GPI,Jan. 2).

Reflecting growing linepack, NOVA changed its daily imbalancetolerance Wednesday to 0/-20%.
