TransCanada reported being issued a declararation of force majeure for Sunday’s gas day by TransQuebec & Maritimes (TQM) due to a compressor failure at TQM Station #650 (Lachenaie) and unstable compressor operation at TQM Station #654 (East Hereford). East Hereford operated more favorably Monday than first anticipated, so TransCanada said it would consider small increases in deliveries there Tuesday and did not expect to restrict any service Wednesday, assuring operational conditions and nomination levels don’t change. Efforts to restore operation at Lachenaie continued Tuesday, but the expected duration of that outage was still unknown, TransCanada said.
