OPERATIONAL FLOW ORDER – LONESTAR LAMAR DELIVERY POINT – REPORT

On February 20, 2025, due to excessive takes above the posted advisory at the Lonestar Lamar Delivery Point located in Lamar County, TX (Segment 17 of the Texok Zone) and the related impacts to system operating conditions, including maximum peaking withdrawals from storage facilities, Natural issued an Operational Flow Order (“OFO”) for the Lonestar Lamar Delivery Point effective for Friday, February 21, 2025 at 9:00 a.m. Central Clock Time. This action was taken in accordance with Section 23.6 of the General Terms and Conditions of Natural's FERC Gas Tariff (“GT&C”).

The OFO was issued to maintain and preserve the operational integrity of Natural's system and was in response to the following operational factor: to maintain pressures for firm transportation deliveries in the production area along the Amarillo-Gulf Coast (AG) Line.

The OFO did not result in any curtailment of primary firm service. During the OFO, Natural implemented daily and hourly take limitations for firm and interruptible Shippers at the delivery point. The OFO limited Shippers, on a daily basis, from taking volumes in excess of confirmed transportation nominations plus no-notice rights at the delivery point, and on an hourly basis to 105% of their firm service rights. Hourly rights for interruptible nominations were limited to 105% of the Shipper's interruptible nominations. Additionally, Shippers were required to flow more ratably during the gas day based on service priority and nomination cycles.

These measures were taken consistent with Natural's Tariff due to excessive takes and related impact to system operating conditions. As the system conditions moderated, Natural removed the OFO, effective at 9:00 a.m. on gas day Monday, February 24, 2025.

This posting complies with GT&C Section 23.6(h) of Natural's Tariff to describe the specific operational factors which caused the Operational Flow Order to be issued and to be lifted.
