FORCE MAJEURE – COMPRESSOR STATION 343
Natural has experienced horsepower issues at Compressor Station 343 (CS 343) located in Liberty County, Texas (Segment 25 of Natural's Texok Zone). This is a Force Majeure event that will require Natural to temporarily reduce the maximum operating capacity eastbound into Segment 25 during this outage.
The scheduling constraint will be at CS 302; therefore, any gas received north or south of CS 302 for delivery east of CS 302 will be impacted for the duration of this outage. For scheduling purposes, the Texok Pool (LOC 10560) is located north of the constraint. Firm transportation associated with storage withdrawals and injections will be impacted.
As such, effective for gas day Friday, July 31, 2020, Intraday 1 Cycle, and anticipated to continue through gas day Friday, August 7, 2020, Natural will schedule Primary Firm and Secondary in-path Firm transports to no less than 59% of contract MDQ through CS 302. Actual nomination levels and changes in pipeline conditions could result in changes to the percentages scheduled (lower or higher) on subsequent gas days. AOR/ITS and Secondary out-of-path Firm transports will not be available.
Continue to monitor Natural's interactive website for any updates to the end date during this outage.
