NGPL has declared force majeure at Compressor Station 168, effective April 24, 2026, with an end date of June 30, 2026. CS 168 is a key compression facility on the NGPL mainline moving Gulf Coast and Midcontinent gas northward into Chicago and Midwest markets. No specific capacity volume is stated in the notice.
NGPL CS 168 force majeure constrains northbound Gulf Coast-to-Midwest throughput for up to 67 days; expect bearish pressure at Henry Hub as Gulf Coast gas backs up, with bullish pressure at Chicago Citygate and NGPL Midcontinent basis vs Henry Hub.
Reroute: Moderate: ANR, PEPL, and REX Zone 3 serve overlapping Chicago and Midwest markets and may absorb some displaced NGPL volumes, though NGPL is very high capacity and a large constraint is difficult to fully offset on alternative pipes.

[FORCE MAJEURE] Force Majeure - Amarillo Station Unit 1
SEV 4/5
Force MajeureUntil Further Notice1 Days
El Paso Natural Gas has declared a force majeure at Amarillo Station Unit 1, effective 05/11/2026 at 8:16 AM with an expected restoration by 05/12/2026 at 9:00 AM. The Amarillo Station is a compressor facility on EPNG's mainline in the Texas Panhandle/New Mexico corridor, a key segment for moving Permian Basin gas westward toward SoCal and Arizona delivery points. No specific capacity loss volume was stated in the notice.
EPNG force majeure at Amarillo Station Unit 1 tightens westbound Permian takeaway for approximately one day; expect bearish pressure at Waha as basin gas backs up and bullish pressure at SoCal Border and Arizona delivery points due to reduced westbound supply.
Reroute: Moderate: Transwestern Pipeline (TW) serves overlapping SoCal Border and Arizona markets as the primary competing westbound alternative, but may lack sufficient spare capacity to fully absorb EPNG Amarillo-constrained volumes for the affected period.

[FORCE MAJEURE] Force Majeure - Florida A
SEV 4/5
Force MajeureUntil Further Notice1 Days
El Paso Natural Gas declared force majeure on the Florida A segment effective 05/14/2026 at 1:34 PM, with an expected end date of 05/15/2026 at 9:00 AM -- approximately 19 hours of disruption. The Florida A segment is an internal EPNG tariff designation for a Southwest/Texas corridor outbound from the Permian Basin, not related to the state of Florida. No capacity volume was specified in the notice.
EPNG force majeure on the Florida A segment tightens Permian takeaway westward; expect bearish pressure at Waha as basin gas backs up and bullish pressure at SoCal Border and Arizona delivery points -- duration is short (~19 hours) but FM status warrants monitoring for extensions.
Reroute: Moderate: Transwestern Pipeline (TW) is the primary competing pipeline for SoCal border and Arizona deliveries and may absorb some displaced volumes, but spare capacity on TW is not confirmed and a simultaneous TW constraint would eliminate California reroute options entirely.

[FORCE MAJEURE] Force Majeure – Line 2215 – Line Damage
SEV 4/5
Force MajeureUntil Further Notice1 Days
EPNG has declared a force majeure on Line 2215 due to line damage, effective 05/15/2026 at 11:16 AM with an expected end date of 05/16/2026 at 9:00 AM -- approximately 22 hours of constraint. No specific capacity volume was provided in the notice. Line 2215 is an EPNG mainline segment carrying Permian Basin gas westbound toward SoCal and Arizona delivery points.
EPNG force majeure on Line 2215 produces a split signal: bearish pressure at Waha as Permian Basin takeaway is curtailed, with bullish pressure at SoCal Border and Arizona delivery points as westbound supply is reduced; no capacity volume stated but even partial EPNG mainline damage warrants immediate attention given typical segment throughput.
Reroute: Moderate: Transwestern Pipeline (TW) is the primary competing pipeline for SoCal border deliveries and can absorb some displaced EPNG volumes, though TW may lack sufficient spare capacity to fully offset an EPNG mainline constraint depending on utilization levels at the time.

Force MajeureUntil Further Notice1 Days
NGPL has declared a force majeure at Compressor Station 168, effective 05/20/2026 at 1:10 PM with an end date of 05/21/2026 at 9:00 AM. CS 168 is a key compression point on NGPL's Gulf Coast-to-Chicago corridor, and the force majeure indicates an unplanned outage. No specific capacity volume is stated in the notice, but NGPL is one of the highest-throughput Midwest pipelines and any CS 168 constraint materially affects northbound flows.
NGPL force majeure at CS 168 restricts northbound Gulf Coast takeaway capacity, expect bearish pressure at Henry Hub and NGPL Texas as gas backs up on the Gulf Coast, with bullish pressure at Chicago Citygate and NGPL Midcontinent basis versus Henry Hub through 05/21 morning.
Reroute: Moderate: ANR, PEPL, and REX Zone 3 serve overlapping Chicago and Midwest markets, but NGPL is very high capacity and partial reroute through these alternatives is unlikely to fully offset the constraint during the affected window.

[OPERATIONAL FLOW ORDER] SOC Declaration - System Wide Draft
SEV 4/5
Operational AlertUntil Further Notice1 Days
EPNG has declared a System-Wide Operational Flow Order (SOC Declaration) effective 05/27/2026 at 7:10 AM, running through 05/28/2026 at 9:00 AM -- approximately 26 hours. This is a system-wide draft OFO, meaning EPNG is calling on all shippers to manage linepack and nominations across the entire pipeline. No specific capacity volume is stated in the notice.
EPNG system-wide SOC OFO signals pipeline stress across the full Permian-to-SoCal/Arizona corridor; expect bearish pressure at Waha as gas is trapped in the basin and bullish pressure at SoCal Border and Arizona delivery points as westbound supply tightens through 05/28 9:00 AM.
Reroute: Moderate: Transwestern Pipeline (TW) is the primary competing pipeline for SoCal border deliveries and may absorb some diverted volumes, but spare capacity on TW is typically limited during system stress events; partial reroute only.

[FORCE MAJEURE] FORCE MAJEURE - REMEDIATION - CS341-UPD2
SEV 4/5
Force MajeureUntil Further Notice1 Days
NGPL has declared force majeure at Compressor Station 341 (CS341) effective May 29, 2026 at 1:03 PM, with remediation expected through May 30, 2026 at 9:00 AM -- approximately 20 hours. No specific capacity volume is stated in the notice. CS341 is an NGPL system compressor station on the Gulf Coast-to-Chicago corridor; the outage constrains northbound throughput on one of the highest-capacity Midwest pipelines in the U.S.
NGPL force majeure at CS341 constrains Gulf Coast-to-Midwest throughput capacity for roughly 20 hours; expect bearish pressure at Henry Hub and Gulf Coast origin points as northbound takeaway is reduced, with corresponding bullish pressure at Chicago Citygate and NGPL Midcontinent basis.
Reroute: Moderate: ANR, PEPL, and TETCO serve overlapping Gulf Coast-to-Chicago/Midwest corridors and may absorb some displaced volumes, though NGPL is very high capacity and full offset is unlikely if the CS341 restriction is substantial.

[OPERATIONAL ALERT] SEG 22 - GC#2 LINE (CS300/301) PIPE INTE
SEV 3/5
Operational AlertUntil Further Notice38 Days
NGPL has issued an operational alert for Segment 22 on the Gulf Coast #2 Line involving compressor stations CS300/CS301, effective April 23, 2026 through May 31, 2026. The notice involves a pipe integrity issue on a key Gulf Coast northbound segment. No specific capacity restriction volume is stated in the notice text.
NGPL Segment 22 GC#2 Line integrity constraint reduces northbound Gulf Coast takeaway capacity toward Chicago and the Midwest, creating bearish pressure at Henry Hub as gas backs up on the Gulf Coast and bullish pressure at Chicago Citygate and NGPL Midcontinent basis; no volume specified so magnitude of impact is unquantified pending further detail.
Reroute: Moderate: ANR, PEPL, and TETCO serve overlapping Gulf Coast-to-Midwest corridors and may absorb some displaced volumes, though NGPL is one of the highest-throughput Midwest pipelines and large constraints are difficult to fully offset.
EPNG has issued a System-wide Pack SOC (System Operational Constraint) declaration effective 05/31/2026 at 8:21 AM, running through 06/01/2026 at 9:00 AM -- approximately one calendar day. A system-wide pack order requires shippers to maintain or increase line pack across the entire EPNG mainline, restricting the ability to pull gas below target line pack levels. No specific capacity volume is cited in the notice.
EPNG system-wide pack OFO limits scheduling flexibility for the remainder of the gas day and into the next, creating intraday tightness at both Waha receipt points and SoCal Border delivery points, but with no stated volume curtailment this is primarily a scheduling constraint rather than a hard capacity reduction.
Reroute: Moderate: Transwestern Pipeline (TW) serves overlapping SoCal Border and Arizona delivery markets and can absorb some diverted EPNG volumes, though TW capacity availability is day-specific and cannot be assumed without checking current postings.

[OPERATIONAL FLOW ORDER] SOC System Wide Pack - Update #1
SEV 3/5
Operational AlertUntil Further Notice1 Days
EPNG has issued a System-Wide Pack Operational Flow Order effective 06/01/2026 at 9:33 AM through 06/02/2026 at 9:00 AM. The OFO requires shippers to maintain or increase system line pack across the entire EPNG system, restricting nomination flexibility for one day. No specific capacity volume is stated in the notice.
EPNG system-wide pack OFO constrains shipper scheduling flexibility across the full Permian-to-California corridor for approximately one day; expect mild bearish pressure at Waha as outbound nominations are restricted, with modest bullish signal at SoCal Border and Arizona delivery points if westbound throughput is curtailed.
Reroute: Moderate: Transwestern Pipeline (TW) serves overlapping SoCal border and Arizona markets and can absorb some displaced Permian westbound volumes, though pack OFOs typically reflect system-wide stress that may limit the degree of reroute benefit.
