Citing “lack of supply from CMS Energy” (Panhandle Eastern) at the Gas City (IN) Compressor Station interconnect on the Lebanon Lateral, Texas Eastern said it restricted scheduled volumes there for Wednesday’s gas day. Should conditions at the meter remain unchanged, the restrictions will remain in place today, Texas Eastern said. However, a Panhandle Eastern spokesman said the shortfall resulted from customers in the frigid Upper Midwest taking extra supplies from the pipeline and causing a pressure drop at Gas City. The pressure was back to normal by Wednesday afternoon and the shortfall resolved, he said.

Trunkline said it completed unplanned maintenance on the Terrebonne System’s Line #319B-3800 sooner than expected (see Daily GPI, April 18) at about 8 p.m. CDT Tuesday. Affected offshore producers were notified that they could return to normal production.

El Paso will take Line 3173 from Puckett to Waha out of service for about two weeks of repairs beginning Friday afternoon. Gas from the ITERRELL and IPUCKETT interconnects must be rerouted to Keystone Mainline during the repairs, where it will compete for available capacity, the pipeline said. ITERRELL and IPUCKETT will experience higher than normal pressures during the outage.
