A leak near Ship Shoal 145B has been isolated and no impact to production was expected, Tennessee said Wednesday.

Effective Thursday, Columbia Gulf will not be accepting nominations to Meter Stations 646 and 4012 due to gas quality issues:

El Paso will shut down Line 2000 to make tie-ins at Cornudas Station Thursday, reducing capacity of the South Low Pressure system by 420 MMcf/d. Despite the large volume affected, the pipeline expects the outage to have no effect on markets based on recent scheduled volumes in the segment.

Columbia Gas said that with its Flat Top Compressor Station being out of service, decreased market requirements resulted in excessive line pressures. As of Thursday until further notice, non-firm receipt capacity is restricted to zero in Market Area 16, affecting 11 pipeline interconnects. Appalachian production on Line KA between Boldman and Huff Creek Compressor Stations, as well as production into Lines KA-15, PM-3 and PM-17, will also be affected.
