All Shippers Letter # 08-188
Date: 06/17/2008
Time: 2:45 MDT
TO: All Shippers
Subject: Notification of OFO and Recall through Meacham
Beginning gas day Thursday, June 19, 2008 until further notice, Northwest is
hereby invoking the realignment OFO provisions outlined in Northwest's Tariff,
Section 14.15(d)(iii). Northwest must take this action because for gas day June
18, 2008, the net scheduled quantities northbound in the Timely cycle through
Meacham are above the operational capacity of 440,000.
Under Northwest's realignment OFO provisions, shippers are hereby notified
that they must realign nominations from receipt points south of Meacham to
receipt points north of Meacham. Alternatively, shippers may elect to
voluntarily reduce their nominations through Meacham by the OFO volume or
take other mutually agreeable action to alleviate the problem.
In addition, Northwest hereby requests shippers that released firm
transportation contracts with primary receipt points on both sides of Meacham to
immediately recall capacity pursuant to the OFO recall language in
their contracts, to the extent they have OFO exposure.
Such shippers may be able to fulfill their OFO obligations without
recalling releases, for example, by flowing gas from alternate receipt
points or by decreasing their nominations northbound through Meacham. If a
shipper would prefer to make arrangements with Northwest other than recalling
capacity, the shipper should contact its Marketing Services Representative.
Northwest will provide shippers subject to the OFO with their specific OFO
obligations by 4:00 pm MDT. Shippers must comply with the OFO obligations
no later than the Evening nomination deadline (5:00 pm MDT).
If you have questions about this All Shippers Letter, please contact your
Marketing Services representative.
