A Williams corporate spokesman said Thursday a Kern River bulletin board report, saying Jonah Field equipment problems had caused restrictions on field throughput to the Opal Plant operated by affiliate Williams Field Services, was in error. “There was a nominations snafu,” the spokesperson quoted a WFS dispatcher as saying, but no equipment problem. The plant was processing about 650 MMcf/d Thursday, which was pretty typical throughput, he said. Total Opal capacity is 730 MMcf/d.

NOVA rescheduled maintenance on the 12-inch Flat Lake Lateral for Jan. 30. The pipeline previously had planned the project for last Tuesday but then postponed it until next week to better assess its scope (see Daily GPI, Jan. 23). The lateral outage is expected to take approximately 18 hours and cause the shut-in of four meter stations.
