El Paso said it has become necessary to shut down Line 1600 upstream of Casa Grande Station one day earlier than previously announced. The line will be down on Nov. 15, instead of Nov. 16. Capacity of the South Mainline will be reduced by 245 MMcf/d effective for Cycle 2 on Nov. 15. The work will be completed prior to the start of the Nov. 16 gas day. El Paso also said Line 1218 downstream of Bondad Station was taken out of service for emergency repairs Wednesday reducing the capacity through Bondad Station by 190 MMcf/d. The reduction was effective for Cycle 4 and will continue through today.

Tennessee reported maintenance work related to the Stagecoach Storage project. Until Saturday, current seals downstream of MLV 327 remain in effect. On Friday, meter 020293 (Pearl River) will be out of service. From Saturday through Monday, the seal location on the 300 Line will move from downstream of MLV 327 to downstream of MLV 323. The three-day outage for meter 011848 / 020101 (Transco – Rivervale) has been postponed to later during the month. From now through early December, Tennessee will be performing pipeline inspections in the area of the Stagecoach construction project. From time to time, Tennessee may be required to lower pipeline pressure, thus reducing available capacity on the 300 Line downstream of MLV 323.

PG&E’s California Gas Transmission system called a systemwide operational flow order for Thursday Nov. 15 with a 0% tolerance and $1/Dth penalties for noncompliance. The intrastate pipeline is full of gas with deliveries continuing to exceed nominations.
