ANR reported being informed by owners and/or operators of the processing plants that service its Southeast Area that based on their current analysis of processing economics for April, most will not process gas unless the pipeline issues a gas quality requirement. Thus ANR is establishing a hydrocarbon dew point limit of 20 degrees Fahrenheit for Southeast receipts, effective April 1-30. Meters delivering into ANR that exceed the dew point limit and are upstream of a processing plant must have their gas treated. “Evidence of a valid processing arrangement with a downstream processing plant must be made available to ANR upon request,” the pipeline said. ANR will post the hydrocarbon dew point for all Southeast receipt meters delivering into its system. It had taken the same action for March (see Daily GPI, Feb. 27).

Subject to National Energy Board approval of certain tariff amendments, Foothills Pipe Lines is requesting tenders to sell 170,210 gigajoules of gas to Foothills for Zone 7 linepack. The supplies would be required over a period of up to five days starting on or about April 19, and can be delivered at any physical point on the NOVA system or through inventory transfers. Price would be in the form of a differential to a published Canadian index. Bids are due by 1 p.m. MST Friday. Call Jeff Stoffegren at (403) 920-6337 or George Phillips at -6825 for more information.
