Force Majeure – Line 2000 – Update # [18]
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.
EPNG anticipates completing the physical work on Line 2000 in accordance with PHMSA's corrective action order (CAO) and EPNG's remedial work plan (RWP) before the end of January, and then will submit a request to PHMSA to lift the pressure restriction so that the line can return to commercial service. Upon receipt, PHMSA will need time to review the request. Accordingly, EPNG will update this posting when it has submitted its request to PHMSA to lift the pressure restriction. Any specific questions related to operationally available capacity or unsubscribed capacity along this path should be directed to your marketing representative.
This incident constitutes an event of force majeure under EPNG's FERC Gas Tariff, General Terms and Conditions, Section 11.3.
