FORCE MAJEURE AT STA 1 (SEGMENT 101 BH) AND STA 9 (SEGMENT 109 BH) EFFECTIVE AUGUST 25, 2017
In accordance with Article XII of Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company, LLC's (Tennessee) FERC Gas Tariff, Tennessee is declaring a Force Majeure event at Station 1 near Agua Dulce, TX effective for Timely Cycle for the Gas Day of Friday, August 25, 2017. Tennessee is monitoring and assessing the potential impact of Tropical Storm Harvey on its pipelines facilities in South Texas. Due to ongoing scheduled maintenance in South Texas, current operating conditions and the projected path of the storm, evacuations at Station 1 and Station 9 in South Texas are scheduled to occur. The stations will be shut down and secured pending the storm's effects. Additionally, there is a potential for commercial electrical outages that could affect other stations in the area. Tennessee has implemented its business continuity procedures and will advise customers of any necessitated changes in operational conditions.
Based on current nominations, Primary In the Path nominations through Station 1 (Segment 101 BH) and Station 9 (Segment 109 BH) are at risk. Tennessee estimates the impact to be up to 238,000 dths pathed through Station 1 BH and up to 250,000 Dths pathed through Station 9 BH. Tennessee will not curtail any gas that has already been scheduled for the current Gas Day, August 24, 2017; however, Tennessee will not allow any Intraday Cycle increases for the remainder of the August 24, 2017 Gas Day pathed through Station 1 (Segment 101 BH) or Station 9 (Segment 109 BH).
Tennessee will post updates as more information becomes available.
