Force Majeure – Line 2000 – Update #7

 

El Paso Natural Gas Company, L.L.C. ("EPNG") is providing this update to the Force Majeure notice originally posted August 15, 2021 (reference Critical Notice No. 612627), associated with the pipeline failure on Line 2000 near the town of Coolidge, Arizona.

 

Activities are underway to return the portion of EPNG's Line 2000 impacted by the incident in Coolidge, Arizona into limited operation at a reduced operating pressure for the sole purpose of allowing EPNG to conduct a diagnostic inspection on the line, including recently installed pipe. Please refer to EPNG's maintenance postings for any changes to capacity as a result of the diagnostic inspection.

 

The incident remains under NTSB investigation and, as noted in previous updates, the entire Line 2000 system will continue to be under a reduced operating pressure. The reduced operating pressure in effect removes the Line 2000 system from commercial service from Black River compressor station to the California border. EPNG does not have an exact timeframe for bringing the Line 2000 back to full commercial service and expects the line to continue to be out of service for several months.

 

Any specific questions related to operationally available capacity or unsubscribed capacity along this path should be directed to your marketing representative.

 

EPNG will provide updates as more information becomes available.

 

This incident constitutes an event of force majeure under EPNG's FERC Gas Tariff, General Terms and Conditions, Section 11.3.
