There will be no shutdown of the Hobart Ranch Processing Plant in Hemphill County, TX as anticipated in a February bulletin board posting, Williams Gas Pipeline-Central said Friday. Duke Energy Field Services has sold the plant to Enbridge Pipelines (Texas Gathering) Inc., which is currently processing gas at Hobart Ranch, the pipeline added. Thus the physical interconnect on Central remains available for nominations.

Westcoast expected to compete emergency repair Tuesday night to the A sulfur recovery unit (SRU) at its McMahon Gas Plant. The work began Tuesday at 8 a.m. PDT and was due for completion 12 hours later. The pipeline forecast that McMahon would process 350-375 MMcf/d of residue gas Tuesday, a decrease from 463 MMcf/d delivered from the plant outlet Monday. See the bulletin board for details.

Tennessee said its project to lower Line 507G-500, previously scheduled to end July 31, will be extended until Aug. 9. Meters 011747(SW Jefferson Isle) and 012504 (Tigre Lagoon Dehyd) will remain out of service until Aug. 10.
