STAGECOACH OPERATIONAL FLOW ORDER EFFECTIVE 9-7-2024
Due to forecasted milder temperatures and anticipated lesser demand and as a result of operating conditions on interconnecting pipelines, Stagecoach Pipeline and Storage Company, LLC (“Stagecoach”) is issuing an OFO, effective for the gas day of Saturday, September 7, 2024, and until further notice. All receipt point operators and customers must continue to ensure that actual inputs into the Stagecoach system are equal to, or less than, scheduled quantities regardless of their existing cumulative imbalance. Additionally, all delivery point operators and customers where set point flow control by Stagecoach is not in operational use must ensure that actual takes out of the Stagecoach system are equal to, or greater than, scheduled quantities regardless of their existing cumulative imbalance. Per Section 6.16 of the Stagecoach FERC Gas Tariff General Terms and Conditions, Stagecoach may, but is not obligated to, take actions to avoid imbalances that include adjusting customers' scheduled quantities to match physical flows. All parties are required to maintain an actual daily flowrate not exceeding 2% of scheduled quantities or 500 dth, whichever is greater for under-takes out of the system by delivery point operators or over-deliveries into the system by receipt point operators. Shippers and point operators not adhering to this OFO will be subject to all applicable penalties and costs, including without limitation to any penalties and costs assessed by connecting pipelines.
In order to maintain the operational integrity of the system, Stagecoach may be required to limit intraday firm increases due to the elevated flowrate required to meet the daily nomination. Stagecoach continues to evaluate all interruptible activity across the system for every scheduling cycle.
This Critical OFO will remain in effect until further notice.
