NOTICE TO SHIPPERS AND CUSTOMERS

 

LOW LINEPACK OFO LIFTED

 

Sunday, April 13, 2008

Effective immediately, Paiute is lifting the Operational Flow Order for Sierra Pacific for overruns issued on April 11, 2008.  The penalty provisions of Section 5.2(a) will not be in effect beginning with the gas day of April 13, 2008.  Although linepack has been stabilized, 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 11, 2008 because Sierra Pacific had been taking more gas than their scheduled volumes, thereby causing a serious reduction in Paiute’s line pack that threatened system operations. Paiute’s line pack has now been sufficiently replenished as a result of imbalance makeups, at least to the extent that Paiute can lift the OFO. However, as mentioned above, Paiute urges customers to attempt to avoid overpulls 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.
