SEGMENT 11 – AMARILLO #3 M/L (CS 103) - ILI TOOL RUNS – UPDATE
The dates for the AFD Tool run have changed, as noted below. See previous Notice ID 44983 dated March 26, 2024.
As previously posted on Natural's Outage Impact Report (X23-1142520) and as part of Natural's ongoing pipeline Integrity Management Program, Natural will perform a series of ILI tool runs on its Amarillo #3 mainline between Compressor Station 102 (CS 102) located in Beaver County, Oklahoma and Compressor Station 103 (CS 103) located in Ford County, Kansas (Natural's Midcontinent Zone). This work will require Natural to reduce its operating capacity northbound through CS 103 for the duration of the ILI tool runs.
The scheduling constraint will be at CS 103; therefore, any gas received south of CS 103 for delivery north of CS 103 will be impacted for the duration of this restriction. For scheduling purposes, the Midcontinent Pool (LOC 25078) is located south of the constraint. Additionally, firm transportation associated with storage withdrawals and injections may be impacted.
As such, effective on the gas days indicated below, Natural will schedule Primary Firm and Secondary in-path Firm transports to no less than 65% of contract MDQ northbound through CS 103. AOR/ITS and Secondary out-of-path Firm transports will not be available for the duration of the restriction.
TOOL RUN DATES:
Gas day Tuesday, May 7, 2024 through gas day Wednesday, May 8, 2024 (Cleaning/Gauge Tool)
Gas day Thursday, May 9, 2024 through gas day Friday, May 10, 2024 (Cleaning Tool)
Gas day Tuesday, May 14, 2024 through gas day Wednesday, May 15, 2024 (AFD Tool)
(Previously Gas day Wednesday, May 15, 2024 through gas day Thursday, May 16, 2024)
Gas day Tuesday, May 21, 2024 through gas day Thursday, May 23, 2024 (EMAT Tool)
The stated scheduling percentage is based upon the current level of firm capacity contracted for during this outage and is subject to change based upon operational conditions and Shipper utilization. Once the data from the tool run have been analyzed, any remediation work impacting shippers will be posted.
Continue to monitor Natural's interactive website for any updates to the end date and/or scheduling percentage during this restriction. Please contact your Account Director or Scheduling Representative if you have any questions.
