Subject: Stage II (8%) Underrun Entitlement Lifted; Underrun Entitlement Warning Reinstated
Notice Text:
Effective Gas Day November 13, 2023, Northwest is lifting the
Stage II (8%) Declared Entitlement Period for unauthorized
underrun volumes, which was issued in All Shipper’s Notice 23-
259, for all Receiving Parties north of the Kemmerer Compressor
Station, and reinstating an Underrun Entitlement warning for all
Receiving Parties north of the Kemmerer Compressor Station
until further notice.
Northwest has limited balancing flexibility with Jackson
Prairie being at 95% full capacity and physical injections
currently limited to approximately 275,000 Dth/d for the entire
facility. On the south end of the system, Northwest is also
subject to injection constraints at the Clay Basin facility.
These two factors severely limit Northwest’s ability to absorb
banked gas on the system. In lifting the Stage II Declared
Underrun Entitlement and replacing it with the Underrun
Entitlement warning, Northwest urges shippers to balance their
supply and demand needs judiciously to minimize the risk of having
to revert back to the more restrictive entitlement stage.
As a reminder and pursuant to Section 14(c) of its Tariff,
customer-specific entitlements may be issued to Receiving
Parties that:
1) have contributed to the adverse operating conditions for
at least two consecutive days; and
2) whose actual measured deliveries have deviated from
scheduled deliveries for the previous Gas Day by the greater of
10,000 Dth or 5 percent.
If you have any questions, please call your Commercial Services
Representative or the hotline at 713-215-6301.
