NGTL Notice 3020090010

On June 26, an NrG bulletin was issued advising NGTL System customers of an unplanned interruption resulting in unplanned maintenance at the Clearwater compressor station.  The location of this station is significant to receipt capability upstream of James River and some downstream delivery points.    

The duration for the unplanned maintenance at Clearwater is under assessment and the current FT-R restriction upstream of James River will be required on an ongoing basis until further notice.  As a result, FT-R allowable upstream of James River will continue to be limited to 95% until Monday, July 13, 2015 @ 08:00 MST. 

All upcoming planned outages are now under review and updates will be provided through subsequent bulletins and the Short Term Operational Plan (STOP).  Updates for specific impacts will be issued shortly including the following restrictions:

Effective July 13 2015 @ 08:00 MST allowable FT-R upstream of James River will be limited to 90%.  

Effective July 13 2015 @ 08:00 MST the capability at the Alberta BC border will be reduced from 45 10⁶m³/d to 42 10⁶m³/d. 

Maintenance at the Clearwater compressor station will include remediation of the two units and is currently expected to be complete by October 2015 subject to further assessment.   

All reasonable efforts are being taken to maximize both receipt and delivery capability.

As part of its ongoing series of operational meetings with customers, NGTL will schedule its next customer meeting shortly.  If you require immediate assistance, please contact the TransCanada Call Centre at 1.403.920.PIPE (7473) or Toll-free at 1.877.920.PIPE (7473).
