Continuing for September and until further notice, absent mitigating actions acceptable to the pipeline, any gas received into NGPL‘s Louisiana Line (Segments 23, 24 and 25) that contains liquefiable hydrocarbons that might condense in the gas stream and cause the line’s gas quality blend to exceed 1,050 Btus per cubic foot will not be confirmed. Due to a continuing unusually low level of upstream processing, NGPL said, it continues to receive very high deliveries of non-conforming gas. Ten receipt points currently exceeding the quality specification were posted on NGPL’s bulletin board.

El Paso reported its Alamo Lake 1 turbine is down for unscheduled repairs that could take about two weeks. Capacity of the Havasu Crossover has been reduced by 50 MMcf/d until the work is finished, which is expected to be around Sept. 7.

Destin Pipeline said it wants to sell linepack gas to facilitate system management. It is taking bids through 1 p.m. CDT Thursday for the sale of 10,000 Dth/d from Sept. 1 through Sept. 30. Destin said it “reserves the right to refuse bids if the bidding party currently has accrued an imbalance on Destin due to receipts exceeding deliveries.” Call Jimmy Culp at (713) 230-3104 for more information.
