EFFECTIVE DATE: August 31, 2022
EFFECTIVE TIME: 8:00 AM MST
IMBALANCE TOLERANCE: 5%

OPERATING CONDITION SUMMARY: EPNG's system linepack starts Gas Day August 31, 2022 at 7,284 MMcf which was a loss of 74 MMcf from Gas Day August 30, 2022. EPNG continues to see drafting on the system and remains concerned about the above average temperatures forecast in the Desert Southwest and Southern California this week. Drafting of the system will undermine our ability to maintain adequate pressures.
Deliveries in excess of scheduled quantities.
CUSTOMER ACTION REQUIRED: Immediate action is required to insure that system pressure remain at a level capable of meeting scheduled deliveries off the system.
EPNG RESPONSE:
- Washington Ranch is on maximum operational withdrawal.
- Underperformance caps have been placed and will continue to be placed on underperforming supplies.
