Transwestern maintenance at WT-2 Compressor Station (Kermit, TX) Monday through Friday of this week will cut station capacity to zero, affecting deliveries at 13 points on the West Texas Lateral. WT-2 capacity will return to its normal 550,000 MMBtu/d Saturday. Also starting Monday but running through May 17, Transwestern has scheduled maintenance at the Bloomfield, Bisti, and Gallup Compressor Stations on the San Juan Lateral in New Mexico. While Bloomfield is down May 10-13, lateral capacity will be reduced from 860,000 MMBtu/d to 425,000 MMBtu/d and flows to Duke Energy‘s Val Verde Plant will be zero. The Bisti outage, set for May 14-15, will limit the lateral to 675,000 MMBtu/d. May 14-17 work at Gallup will also cut lateral capacity to 675,000 MMBtu/d.

CenterPoint will perform scheduled repairs and maintenance May 10-17 at Amber Compressor Station in Oklahoma, limiting its throughput to 320,000 Dth/d. If nominations exceed this amount, capacity will be allocated on a pro rata basis.

Sonat said it has developed a repair plan for the 24-inch White Castle-Franklinton Loop line in Louisiana and now expects the line to remain out of service until at least May 31. The work impacts two points: Sugar Bowl #6 and Carrville to LRC. Sonat identified the need for maintenance on the line last month as part of its inspection program (see Daily GPI, April 22).

TGT said Wednesday that unscheduled maintenance was required on its 26-inch mainline north of the Dillsboro (OH) Compressor Station, and the line is expected to be out of service until May 14. During that time, scheduled volumes through that segment will be reduced to 700,000 Dth/d.
