FORCE MAJEURE – SEGMENT 11 – COMPRESSOR STATION 105 - UPDATE
This notice is to update the anticipated end date, as noted below. This notice was last posted on December 15, 2022, “FORCE MAJEURE – SEGMENT 11 – CS 105”.
Natural is experiencing mechanical issues at Compressor Station 105 (CS 105) located in Cloud County, Kansas (Segment 11 of Natural's Midcontinent Zone). This is a Force Majeure event that will limit Natural's throughput capacity northbound through CS 105 for the duration of the restriction.
The scheduling constraint is at CS 105; therefore, any gas received south of CS 105 for delivery north of CS 105 will be impacted for the duration of this restriction. For scheduling purposes, the Midcontinent Pool (LOC 25078) is located south of the constraint. Additionally, transports associated with storage withdrawals will be impacted.
As such, effective for gas day Saturday, December 17, 2022, Timely Cycle, and anticipated to continue through mid-January (previously until further notice), Natural will schedule Primary Firm and Secondary in-path Firm transports to no less than 85% of contract MDQ through CS 105. Actual nomination levels and changes in pipeline conditions could result in changes to the percentage scheduled (lower or higher) on subsequent gas days. AOR/ITS and Secondary out-of-path Firm transports will not be available.
The stated scheduling percentage is based upon the current level of firm capacity contracted for during this restriction and is subject to change based upon operational conditions and Shipper utilization.
Continue to monitor Natural's interactive website for any updates to the end date and/or scheduling percentage during this restriction. Please contact your Account Director or Scheduling Representative if you have any questions.
