WARNING OF STRAINED OPERATING CONDITION (SOC) – DRAFT
EPNG's system linepack starts Gas Day November 4, 2022 at 7,492 MMcf which was a reduction of 108 MMcf from Gas Day November 3, 2022. The loss of linepack is the result of actual takes in excess of scheduled deliveries.
Washington Ranch is currently on maximum injection due to the Guadalupe outage and we are unable to come on withdrawal given the scheduled volume through the GUDALUP constraint.
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.
