FORCE MAJEURE - SEGMENT 2 – OE #1 LINE – PIPELINE REMEDIATION - REMINDER

As part of its ongoing pipeline Integrity Management Program, Natural discovered a line obstruction during a recent tool run.  As a result, Natural must perform pipeline remediation work on the OE#1 Line between Compressor Station 156 (CS 156), located in Kiowa County, Oklahoma to Compressor Station 801 (CS 801) in Carter County, Oklahoma (Segment 2 of Natural's Midcontinent Zone).   This is a Force Majeure event that requires Natural to temporarily reduce the maximum operating pressure in the area, thus limiting Natural's throughput capacity eastbound through CS 801.  This outage will impact gas flowing between CS 156 to just west of (CS 801), as noted below. 

As such, effective for gas day Tuesday, June 6, 2017, Timely Cycle and anticipated to continue through gas day Saturday, June 10, 2017, Natural will not schedule any transport services flowing eastbound between CS 156 to just west of CS 801.  No transport services are available.  Therefore, 0% of contract MDQ for Primary Firm or Secondary in-path Firm transports services will be scheduled during this constraint.  However, Natural will allow transports to flow from the two receipt locations listed below, as they are located just east of the constraint.  Transports from these receipt locations will be allowed to flow for the duration of the outage (subject to any posted pipeline conditions).

LOC 44652      TARGA STEPHENS

LOC 48931      WOODFORD COX CITY GRADY

For scheduling purposes, the Midcontinent Pool (PIN 25078) is located west (upstream) of the constraint.  Additionally, transports associated with storage injections or withdrawals will be impacted for the duration of this outage.
