Storage Field Maintenance Update
Colorado Interstate Gas Company L. L. C. updates the schedules for Ft.
Morgan and Flank Morrow reservoir testing. (Reference Maintenance Notice
115703) The schedule for Ft. Morgan is revised from April 18 through
April 25 to April 18 through April 24. Flank Morrow is revised from April
5 through April 12 to April 8 through April 15.
The four Storage Fields utilized by Colorado Interstate Gas Company,
L.L.C. (CIG) to provide No Notice Transportation (NNT) and Storage
Services will undergo scheduled Bottom Hole Pressure Surveys from March 31
through May 2, 2016. As explained below, this work will impact firm
customers' ability to inject during this period by reducing the regular
Available Daily Injection Quantity (ADIQ).
The week that maintenance is scheduled for each field is listed below.
Each field's maximum injection capability is shown as well as the field's
related percentage of total injections and the net total injection available
for that week. These numbers are based on the projection that storage
inventory will be within normal guidelines at the end of March.
Field Max Inject. Percent Total Inj. Outage
MMcf/d Inj. Total Available Scheduled
MMcf/d
Flank 55 16.9 325 See Note below
Latigo 80 24.6 245 Apr 5 to April 12
Ft. Morgan 125 38.5 200 Apr 18 to Apr 24
Boehm 65 20.0 260 Apr 25 to May 2
Total 325 100.0
Note: Flank has two reservoirs which will be tested separately. Flank
Cherokee reservoir will be tested beginning March 31 through April 7 and
Flank Morrow reservoir will be tested beginning April 8 through April 15.
The impact to injection capability will be minimal, and no reductions to
customers' firm injection rights will be made during the Flank Bottom Hole
Pressure Survey.
During the Bottom Hole Pressure Surveys for Ft. Morgan, Latigo and Boehm,
firm shippers ADIQ will be reduced by the percentage indicated above
consistent with Part IV: General Terms and Conditions (GT&C) Sections 1.2(c)
and 11.6 of CIG's FERC Gas Tariff Second Revised Volume No. 1. For example,
during the Ft. Morgan maintenance, shippers will be limited to 61.5% (100 –
38.5) of the Standard ADIQ.
Other Impacts on Shippers:
1. Shippers are asked to manage flowing supplies to keep injections within
these adjusted limits. If small injection overruns occur, they will be
based on the adjusted limits and will be authorized for NNT customers.
However, if operational concerns arise because of higher levels of
overrun injections, a Strained Operating Condition (SOC) may need to be
implemented, and overruns will not be authorized.
2. During the week of the Ft Morgan outage, injections under the High
Available Daily Injection Quantity (High ADIQ) option described in GT&C
Section 1.2(c)will not be supported.
3. Injections to interruptible storage accounts will not be scheduled during
the period of the Bottom Hole Pressure Surveys.
