Maintenance at the Sable Offshore Energy Processing Plant that had been scheduled for April 16-19 (see Daily GPI, April 2) was postponed. The tentative work period now is from midnight April 18 to midnight April 20. Maritimes & Northeast Pipeline expects only about 35% of capacity to be available for deliveries during that time. Full system capabilities are anticipated for April 21.

Tennessee is delaying a subsea tie-in outage in the West Cameron area offshore southwest Louisiana, previously set for April 25-30 (see Daily GPI, April 10), until at least May 1. The exact timing of the outage, expected to last five or six days, cannot be determined at this point, Tennessee said Wednesday. It depends on the availability of divers, which has been reduced by recent high seas in the Gulf of Mexico, the pipeline said. Nominations will not be accepted at the West Cameron 173C and West Cameron 178 meters during the tie-in.

Gulf South said it began unscheduled repairs Monday to Unit No. 5 at the Goodrich Compressor Station (Polk County, TX). Until the work is completed, the pipeline said, capacity on the West 30-inch line may be reduced by 25,000-50,000 Dth/d.

Starting May 1 and running through the end of the month, Panhandle Eastern will perform internal line inspection modifications on its Louisburg Segment in Kansas, causing a capacity reduction of 50,000 MMBtu/d.
