FORCE MAJEURE - SEGMENT 22 SOUTHBOUND (CS 300) – UPDATE #1
Due to storm related issues, the scheduling percentage has been decreased as noted below. This notice was last posted on August 24, 2017, entitled “FORCE MAJEURE - SEGMENT 22 SOUTHBOUND (CS 300)”.
Due to the impending Tropical Storm Harvey and the weather projections, Natural hereby declares a Force Majeure event on the Gulf Coast system at Compressor Station 300, located in Victoria County, Texas (Segment 22 of Natural's South Texas Zone). In response to these weather conditions, in order to insure safe system operations and the safety of Natural's personnel, Compressor Station 300 will be unavailable until the Force Majeure event has been lifted.
The scheduling constraint will be at Compressor Station 300 for southbound flows; therefore, any gas received north of Station 300 for delivery south of Station 300 will be impacted for the duration of this Force Majeure event.
As such, effective for gas day Sunday, August 27, 2017, Timely Cycle, and continuing at least through gas day Monday, August 28, 2017, Natural will schedule Primary Firm and Secondary in-path Firm southbound transports to no less than 37% of contract MDQ (previously 47% of contract MDQ) through Compressor Station 300. Actual nomination levels and changes in pipeline conditions could result in changes to the percentage scheduled (lower or higher) on subsequent gas days. For scheduling purposes, the South Texas Pool (PIN 25079) is located north of the constraint. AOR/ITS and Secondary out-of-path Firm transports will not be available for the duration of this event.
The stated scheduling percentage is based upon the current level of firm capacity contracted for during this event and is subject to change based upon system requirements. Supply received from the T2 Gas Refugio receipt location (LOC 46725), as well as other supply locations south of Compressor Station 300, are available as alternative receipt points.
In addition, during this event, Natural will closely monitor the delivery to NET Mexico (LOC 47226) located in Nueces County, Texas. If the location begins to flow off-rate, Natural will schedule this delivery point, as necessary, to a capacity that reflects current physical flow. All transport services are at risk.
