Subject: Rangely-Vernal Cut Out Deficiency
Notice Text:
As part of Northwest’s scheduled maintenance, pipeline
recoating between the Vernal and Rangely compressors is
currently taking place. During this time an anomaly was
discovered and a cutout between the two compressors will be
required.
The cutout is scheduled to take place on August 20, 2022.
Northwest will not be able to schedule nominations that net
greater than 162,000 Dth/d southbound through the Vernal
compressor or 155,500 Dth/d northbound through the Rangely
compressor. Current nominations for gas day August 12 are
approximately 220,686 Dth/d north through Rangely. Northwest
will mitigate volumes to the highest extent possible.
If the primary scheduled quantities for gas day August 20
exceed the operationally available capacity of 162,000 Dth/d
south through Vernal or 155,500 Dth/d north through Rangely, or
what Northwest is unable to mitigate, Northwest will give
notice of a Deficiency Period based on the Vernal compressor
southbound design capacity of 324,000 Dth/d and the Rangely
compressor northbound design capacity of 311,000 Dth/d.
