FORCE MAJEURE AT MLV 309 TO MLV 310 ON LINE 1 EFFECTIVE 7-13-2022 UPDATE #2
Pursuant to Article XII of the General Terms and Conditions of Tennessee's FERC Gas Tariff, Tennessee posted notice of a Force Majeure event between MLV 309 to MLV 310 on Line 1 near Clermont, PA in McKean County effective on July 13, 2022, and until further notice (Notice Identifier #383566). The investigation is ongoing for the emergent repair between MLV 309 and 310. Tennessee has reduced the operating pressure on Line 1 from Station 307 to Station 313. The reduced pressure will remain in effect pending results of the investigation. Based on current demand to date, only Secondary Out of the Path nominations pathed through Segment 307 BH have been affected and there has been no additional customer impact.
Tennessee posts available capacity at key points along the pipeline system. The posting states the capacity can change due to changes in nominations, confirmations, system balancing, and the operational integrity of the system. Based on current operating conditions, the available capacity at Station 307 (Segment 307 BH) and Station 313 West (Segment 307 BH) will be reduced. The reduction in operating pressure on Line 1 from Station 313 to Station 307 could reduce the estimated available capacity to the West of Station 313 and West of Station 307 by as much as 235.0 MMcf. The available capacity posting will take into account current operating conditions as well as the reduced operating pressure on Line 1 for this area of the Tennessee system. Based on current nominations pathed through Station 313 West (Segment 307 BH) as well as Station 307 (Segment 307 BH), In the Path nominations may be at risk as early as Timely Cycle for Gas Day of Wednesday, July 27, 2022.
Tennessee apologizes for any inconvenience to its customers to the extent any service restrictions are required during this unplanned outage. Tennessee remains focused on returning to normal operating conditions on these segments. Tennessee will provide additional updates as more information becomes available.
