Initial Force Majeure – Line 1300 – Caprock to Roswell
El Paso Natural Gas Company, L.L.C. (EPNG) has identified an anomaly on Line 1300 downstream of the Caprock Compressor Station. The repair will require a pressure restriction and a corresponding reduction in operational capacity. Accordingly, the operational capacity through the CAPROCK N constraint will be reduced by 100,549 dekatherms per day (Dth/d), effective January 25, 2023, Timely Cycle (Cycle 1). This pressure restriction will also result in a reduction in operational capacity of the NORTH ML constraint. Accordingly, the operational capacity through the NORTH ML constraint will be reduced by 56,724 Dth/d effective January 25, 2023, Timely Cycle (Cycle 1).
EPNG will post an updated maintenance notice to reflect the total impact through the CAPROCK N and NORTH ML constraints. These reductions in operational capacity will remain in effect until further notice.
This incident constitutes an event of Force Majeure under Section 11.3 of the General Terms and Conditions of EPNG's FERC Gas Tariff.
