Mojave Line 1902 In-Line Inspection Scheduled Maintenance

Mojave Pipeline Operating Company (MPOC) will conduct In-line Inspection (ILI) pigging operations on two sections of Line 1902 (L1902) starting at mainline valve (MLV) 610 (Mile Post 26) to the end of the line (EOL).  The inspections will be conducted on March 7, 2023 and on March 8, 2023. 

Section 1: The first inspection is a 16” section of L1902 that starts at MLV 610 and ends at MLV 612. The inspection will require 8-hours.   Section 1 will be inspected on March 7, 2023. 

The following location's combined deliveries on L1902 will be limited to 66,000 Dth/d rate during the Section 1 ILI inspection: Granite, Mt. Poso, Sunset, Poso Creek, Kern Front, and Kern River Eaglecrest. Upon completion of the ILI work, the capacity of Section 1 will be fully restored.

Section 2: The second inspection is a 12” section of L1902 that starts at MLV 614 and extends to the EOL.  The inspection will require 8-hours.  Section 2 will be inspected on March 8, 2023.

The following location's combined deliveries on L1902 will be limited to 37,000 Dth/d rate during the Section 2 ILI inspection: Sunset, Poso Creek, Kern Front, and Kern River Eaglecrest. Upon completion of the ILI work, the capacity of Section 2 will be fully restored.

To appropriately schedule these total required delivery volumes, the scheduling model will be modified to restrict the flow at the end of Segment 3140 as opposed to the beginning of the segment (where the constraint normally lies). 

MPOC anticipates based on 2023 YTD historical flows, ILI pigging operations in Section 1 and Section 2 will not have an impact to customers.
