Prior Notice:  23-124
Subject:  Stage II 8% Underrun Entitlement Lifted; Underrun Entitlement Warning Reinstated

Notice Text:

Effective Gas Day Monday, July 17, 2023, Northwest is lifting

the Stage II (8%) Declared Entitlement Period for unauthorized

underrun volumes, which was issued in All Shipper’s Notice 23-

124, 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 92% full capacity and physical injections

limited to ~120,000 Dt/d for the entire facility. On the south

end of the system, Northwest is subject to injection

constraints at the Clay Basin facility and currently is

averaging less than 50,000 Dt/d injection success. 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 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 state.

 

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.

Representative or the hotline at 713-215-6301.
