COMPRESSOR STATION 139 – HOT TAP INSTALLATION
Recently, Natural installed a hot tap on its Permian #1 line near Compressor Station 139 located in Lea County, New Mexico. As posted on Natural's Outage Impact Report (X24-1079214), Natural will be performing additional work to complete installation of the hot tap on the Permian #1 line (Segment 9 of Natural's Permian Zone). This work requires Natural to reduce its operating capacity, thus limiting Natural's throughput capacity northbound through Compressor Station 167 (CS 167).
The transport scheduling constraint will be at CS 167; therefore, any gas received south of CS 167 for delivery north of CS 167 into Segment 8 will be impacted for the duration of this restriction. For scheduling purposes, the Permian Pool (LOC 25077) is located south of the constraint. Additionally, firm transports associated with Permian storage withdrawals will be impacted.
As such, effective for gas day, Tuesday, October 29, 2024, only, Natural will schedule Primary Firm and Secondary in-path Firm transports to 80% of contract MDQ northbound through CS 167 from Segment 9 into Segment 8. AOR/ITS and Secondary out-of-path Firm transports will not be available.
The stated scheduling percentage is based upon the current level of firm capacity contracted for during this restriction and is subject to change based upon operational conditions and Shipper utilization. Continue to monitor Natural's interactive website for any updates to the end date and/or scheduling percentage during this restriction.
