The Amerada Hess-operated Sea Robin Processing Plant will shut down Sept. 17 for maintenance expected to last seven to 10 days. The plant will continue dehydration operations during the outage. Sea Robin Pipeline estimates that the cutback in processing will cause its deliveries to downstream pipes Columbia Gulf and Sabine to exceed their maximum heating value requirements of 1,050 and 1,065 Btus per cubic foot respectively. Sea Robin Pipeline said that if it is notified by any other downstream pipeline operator that Sea Robin gas can no longer be accepted, it will provide as much notice as possible to shippers of the need to move their gas to other delivery points.

Questar has scheduled Department of Transportation-required line work on its ML 41 segment Skyline Block Valve to Payson Gate Station for Sept. 17-20. Southern System capacity will be reduced by 60,000 Dth/d during this project.
