CIG plans smart pigging of the Uinta Basin Lateral in late May. On May 23 and again on May 27, flow from Natural Buttes Compressor Station must be cut to about 100 MMcf/d for about 10 hours each day. For 27 hours beginning on May 25 and again on May 29 for about 27 hours, flow from Greasewood Station to Wamsutter Station must be reduced to about 100 MMcf/d. Construction work related to the Pipeline Integrity Program (PIP) will require the shut-in of Table Rock Residue volumes for 16 hours on May 17. PIP construction will require sections of the Wyoming mainline between the Laramie and Cheyenne Compressor Stations to be removed from service for short periods (less than 24 hours) May 1 and 2 and again May 10-12. Impact to service is expected to be minimal. No service intereruption is anticipated during May 7-8 PIP construction between Cheyenne Compressor Station and the Cheyenne meter station.

Kingsgate throughput capability is improving as Station 3 maintenance (see Daily GPI, April 27) proceeds, according to PG&E Gas Transmission-Northwest. It raised Kingsgate capacity to 2,280 MMcf/d for the gas days of Saturday and Sunday.
