[Trailblazer Pipeline (TPC)] [FORCE MAJEURE] REDTAIL COMPRESSOR STATION FORCE MAJEURE

SEV 5/5
Force Majeure 0.030 Bcf/d Until Further Notice

Trailblazer Pipeline declared force majeure at Redtail Compressor Station effective Gas Day April 15, 2026, reducing operating capacity to only 30 MDth/d (0.030 Bcf/d) until further notice. Primary firm, secondary firm, and interruptible service are all at risk of curtailment. No restoration timeline has been provided; end date is listed as 12/31/9000, indicating an indefinite outage.

Trailblazer FM at Redtail CS cuts operating capacity to 0.030 Bcf/d with all service classes at risk; this effectively eliminates Trailblazer as a functional eastbound Rockies takeaway path, expect bearish pressure on CIG/Cheyenne Hub Rockies basis as gas backs up in the Rockies, with offsetting bullish pressure at Midcontinent and Northern Natural Gas downstream delivery points.
Reroute: None: Trailblazer leases capacity at Bertrand CS on REX, and REX Zone 1 is the primary correlated alternative -- when Trailblazer is constrained at a compressor station upstream of Bertrand, REX may face correlated pressure; Colorado Interstate Gas (CIG) provides a partial alternative for some Rockies volumes moving south, but cannot fully absorb Trailblazer's eastbound capacity.

Kinder Morgan (multi-pipeline)

[FORCE MAJEURE] FORCE MAJEURE-COMP STA 168

SEV 4/5
Force Majeure Until Further Notice 85 Days

NGPL has declared force majeure at Compressor Station 168, effective April 6, 2026, with an end date of June 30, 2026. CS 168 is a key compression point on NGPL's Gulf Coast-to-Chicago corridor, restricting northbound flow capacity for up to 85 days. No specific volume restriction is stated in the notice.

NGPL CS 168 force majeure constrains Gulf Coast-to-Chicago northbound capacity, creating bearish pressure at Henry Hub as gas backs up at Gulf Coast origin points and bullish pressure at Chicago Citygate and NGPL Midcontinent basis versus Henry Hub.
Reroute: Moderate: ANR, PEPL, and REX Zone 3 serve overlapping Gulf Coast-to-Chicago/Midwest corridors, but NGPL is one of the highest-throughput Midwest pipelines and partial reroute may not fully offset a significant compressor station outage.

[FORCE MAJEURE] FORCE MAJEURE-COMP STA 168 UPD1

SEV 4/5
Force Majeure Until Further Notice 67 Days

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.

Enable Gas Transmission (EGT)

[Enable Gas Transmission (EGT)] [Force Majeure] DELHI COMPRESSOR FMJ

SEV 4/5
Force Majeure Until Further Notice

Enable Gas Transmission has declared force majeure at its Delhi Compressor Station in Richland Parish, Louisiana, effective April 8, 2026, continuing until further notice. The unplanned outage prevents deliveries to Gulf Run Delhi Core Delivery Point (#291856) and is expected to impact primary firm transportation services in EGT's South Pooling Area. No restoration timeline has been provided.

EGT force majeure at Delhi CS eliminates deliveries to Gulf Run Delhi Core Del with no end date, curtailing primary firm service in the South Pooling Area; expect bearish pressure on Arkla Basin and Gulf Coast basis as stranded gas backs up, with watch on Gulf Run LNG feed gas supply chain if downstream volumes are affected.
Reroute: Moderate: Gulf South and Southern Natural (EGT/Energy Transfer) serve overlapping Gulf Coast and Haynesville-area corridors, providing partial alternatives; however, the specific Gulf Run Delhi Core delivery point has no direct bypass, and volumes destined for Gulf Run interconnects (including LNG feed gas paths) cannot be fully replaced via alternate routing.

Enable Gas Transmission (EGT)

[Enable Gas Transmission (EGT)] [Force Majeure] DELHI COMPRESSOR FMJ TERM

SEV 4/5
Force Majeure Until Further Notice

EGT declared force majeure at its Delhi Compressor Station in Richland Parish, Louisiana, effective April 12, 2026, with no end date (until further notice). The outage prevents EGT from delivering to Gulf Run Delhi Core Delivery Point (#291856), with primary firm transport service expected to be impacted. A separate balancing alert (6327) has been terminated as of April 12, indicating the operational situation may be stabilizing, but the FM itself remains active.

EGT force majeure at Delhi CS cuts primary firm deliveries to Gulf Run Delhi with no restoration timeline; expect localized tightness at the Gulf Run interconnect and potential knock-on effects for Haynesville production takeaway and LNG feed gas nominations at Gulf Coast export terminals supplied via Gulf Run.
Reroute: Moderate: Gulf South Pipeline and Kinder Morgan assets serve overlapping Haynesville corridor routes, and some volumes may be redirected away from the Gulf Run Delhi delivery point; however, the specific impact on LNG feed gas supply depends on whether downstream shippers can nominate alternate paths to Gulf Coast export terminals.

EGTS

OFO: Northern Area Conform Services

SEV 4/5
Operational Alert Until Further Notice

EGTS has issued an Operational Flow Order (OFO) for Conform Services on its Northern Area, effective January 23, 2026 at 15:00. This is a Critical-category notice indicating active system stress requiring shippers to conform nominations to actual usage. No specific capacity volume is stated, but OFO declarations on EGTS Northern Area signal tightness in Appalachian Mid-Atlantic supply flows. Duration is indeterminate from this notice.

EGTS Northern Area OFO signals active system stress on the Appalachian/Mid-Atlantic corridor; expect bullish pressure at Dominion South and TETCO M2 basis with potential tightening at Mid-Atlantic delivery points served by EGTS and Transco Zone 5.
Reroute: Moderate: TCO (Columbia Gas Transmission) and Equitrans serve overlapping Appalachian markets and may absorb some volumes, but EGTS Northern Area OFOs during winter typically reflect system-wide tightness that limits available reroute capacity on competing pipes.

ANR Pipeline (TC Energy)

CAPACITY REDUCTION - Southeast Area – Eunice Compressor Station

SEV 4/5
Maintenance 1.611 Bcf/d Until Further Notice 2 Days

ANR Pipeline has planned maintenance at Eunice Compressor Station in the Southeast Area on 3/18-3/19, resulting in curtailments across eight interconnect locations totaling approximately 1.611 Bcf/d of reduced capacity. Affected locations include major interconnects with TGP (443 MMcf/d reduced to 30 MMcf/d), Sonat/SNG (377 MMcf/d reduced to 110 MMcf/d), Weeks Island/LIG (270 MMcf/d reduced to 40 MMcf/d), and Col Gulf (143 MMcf/d reduced to 0 MMcf/d). ANR explicitly anticipates Firm Primary, Firm Secondary, and Interruptible curtailments, meaning all service classes are at risk.

ANR Eunice CS planned outage removes approximately 1.611 Bcf/d of Southeast Area capacity for 3/18-3/19, with firm primary curtailments explicitly anticipated; expect tightening at Transco Zone 4, SNG/Sonat, and TGP Southeast interconnects, with bullish basis pressure across Gulf Coast-to-Southeast delivery corridors.
Reroute: Limited: the Eunice CS constraint simultaneously affects ANR interconnects with both SNG/Sonat and TGP -- the two primary competing Southeast pipelines -- reducing the ability of shippers to reroute curtailed volumes; TETCO and CGT provide partial Gulf Coast northbound alternatives but are unlikely to absorb the full 1.6 Bcf/d reduction.

El Paso (EPNG)

[FORCE MAJEURE] Force Majeure - El Paso C Station

SEV 4/5
Force Majeure Until Further Notice 1 Days

EPNG has declared force majeure at El Paso C Station effective 04/15/2026 at 10:30 AM, with restoration expected by 04/16/2026 at 9:00 AM. El Paso C Station is a compressor station on the EPNG mainline in the El Paso/West Texas corridor, a key segment for westbound Permian Basin takeaway toward SoCal and Arizona. Duration is approximately 22.5 hours. No capacity volume is specified in the notice.

EPNG force majeure at El Paso C Station reduces westbound Permian takeaway capacity; expect bearish pressure at Waha as basin gas backs up and bullish pressure at SoCal Border and Arizona delivery points, though the short ~1-day duration limits sustained market impact.
Reroute: Moderate: Transwestern Pipeline (TW) serves overlapping SoCal Border and Arizona markets and is the primary reroute alternative; however, TW spare capacity at any given time may not fully absorb constrained EPNG volumes, particularly on short notice.

[Trailblazer Pipeline (TPC)] [OPERATIONAL ALERT] THIRD PARTY OPERATIONAL ISSUE - BERTRAND COMPRESSOR STATION - UPDATE #12

SEV 4/5
Compressor Issue 0.813 Bcf/d Until Further Notice

Trailblazer Pipeline Segment 20 capacity is restricted to 0.813 Bcf/d effective evening cycle April 1, 2026, until further notice due to a third-party operational issue at Bertrand Compressor Station. This is Update #12, indicating an ongoing multi-revision unresolved outage. Primary firm, secondary firm, and interruptible service are all at risk of curtailment. No restoration timeline has been provided.

Trailblazer Segment 20 restricted to 0.813 Bcf/d with primary firm at risk and no restoration timeline; simultaneous REX/Trailblazer Bertrand CS constraint removes independent reroute options, bearish pressure on Rockies/CIG basis as eastbound Rockies gas remains stranded with no alternative takeaway.
Reroute: None: REX and Trailblazer share Bertrand Compressor Station -- both pipelines are simultaneously constrained by the same third-party facility, meaning REX cannot serve as an independent reroute for Trailblazer volumes affected at Bertrand CS.

Rockies Express

[OPERATIONAL ALERT] BERTRAND COMPRESSOR STATION OPERATIONAL ISSUE - UPDATE #12

SEV 4/5
Compressor Issue 1.174 Bcf/d Until Further Notice

Rockies Express Pipeline is restricting Segment 250 (Zone 1, West-to-East direction) to 1,174 MDth/d (1.174 Bcf/d) due to an ongoing operational issue at Bertrand Compressor Station, effective evening cycle April 1, 2026, until further notice. This is Update #12, indicating a prolonged unresolved event. Primary firm, secondary firm, and interruptible service are all at risk of curtailment at this capacity level.

Bertrand CS constraint caps REX Zone 1 eastbound at 1.174 Bcf/d until further notice, with all service classes at curtailment risk; Trailblazer shares this facility and is simultaneously constrained, leaving zero independent reroute -- expect bearish Rockies basis pressure and bullish Midcontinent/Chicago Citygate basis widening vs Henry Hub.
Reroute: None: REX and Trailblazer share Bertrand Compressor Station -- both are simultaneously constrained by the same facility, and no independent reroute exists for Rockies eastbound volumes affected by this outage.
