WARNING OF STRAINED OPERATING CONDITION (SOC) – DRAFT
EPNG's system linepack starts Gas Day July 8, 2022 at 7,436 MMcf. This is a decrease of 163 MMcf compared to the start of Gas Day July 7, 2022. The loss of linepack is the result of actual takes in excess of scheduled deliveries and overnight underperformance at a few supply locations.
Washington Ranch is being brought to maximum operational withdrawal.
Delivery point operators are encouraged to review their transport to ensure that their takes are in balance with their supplies and to ensure their scheduled supplies are performing as expected. If the situation fails to improve EPNG will declare an SOC for a DRAFT condition.
Underperformance caps will be placed on underperforming supplies.
Payback from the system, such as Payback (Imbalance Payback from TSP), will be denied due to operational concerns related to maintaining adequate linepack.
