Maintenance at the Stanfield compressor is scheduled for June 16th and 17th.  During this maintenance, Gas Transmission  Northwest is restating its physical receipt capability to 0 MMcf/d at the Williams-NWP Stanfield receipt point.  GTN will schedule receipts to the extent that they are offset by deliveries into NWP, effectively creating a net zero.

Should Gas Transmission Northwest (GTN) be required to curtail receipts from Williams-NWP at Stanfield due to operating conditions, allocation of capacity will be based on the priority of the service contract used to receive gas into the GTN system from NWP. It is important to note that many customers use Market Centers at Stanfield and that the priority of Market Center service is below that of Firm and Interruptible Transportation services. Although it is not anticipated that this allocation procedure will be necessary, customers should be aware of this curtailment process.

 

Transportation contract nominations that connect directly to the upstream contract of their suppliers from NWP receive the highest allocation priority. Therefore, in the example below, transaction #1 has priority over transaction #2 during this curtailment process. In-line transfers flowing through Stanfield, whether using market centers or not, are not affected, as illustrated by #3 in the diagram.

 

If you have questions, please contact a Transportation Coordinator at (503) 833-4300, Option 1.
