WARNING OF STRAINED OPERATING CONDITION (SOC) – DRAFT

Currently the EPNG system is experiencing a low linepack condition with system linepack below 7,360 MMcf and decreasing as a result of actual takes in excess of scheduled deliveries.

Washington Ranch is on 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 denied due to operational concerns related to maintaining adequate linepack.
