NOTICE TO SHIPPERS AND CUSTOMERS

 

NORTHWEST ENTITLEMENT PERIOD

OFO LIFTED

 

April 18, 2008

 

Paiute is lifting the Operational Flow Order for overruns issued on April 4, 2008.  The penalty provisions of Section 5.2(b) will not be in effect beginning with the gas day of Friday, April 18, 2008.  Although linepack is stable, Paiute urges you to continue to schedule your supply so that sufficient gas is being delivered to Paiute to cover gas being taken off the system.

 

Paiute issued the OFO on April 4, 2008 because Northwest had declared a Stage II Overrun Entitlement period subjecting Paiute to penalties for any overruns greater than 8%. Effective Friday, April 18, 2008, Northwest will lift the entitlement due to the moderate weather forecasts for most of the Pacific Northwest market area.  However, as mentioned above, Paiute urges customers to attempt to avoid over pulls for the foreseeable future.

 

Any changes in the above information will be passed along to Paiute’s customers immediately.  Any questions regarding this information may be directed to Mark Anderson, Paiute Pipeline Scheduling, (702)876-7332.
