Natural Gas Pipeline (NGPL)
[FORCE MAJEURE] FORCE MAJEURE - MORAINE LATERL - REMED
SEV 2/5
Force Majeure15 Days
NGPL has declared force majeure on the Moraine Lateral (Segment 39, Iowa-Illinois Receipt Zone) due to a pipeline anomaly discovered during an integrity management ILI run, requiring pipeline remediation. Two delivery locations are shut in -- LOC 40257 (Calpine/NGPL Zion Energy Lake) and LOC 907112 (Wisc Ele/NGPL Kenosha) -- beginning gas day October 16 and anticipated through gas day October 30, 2026 (15 days). This is Revision 3 of the notice; no escalation triggers are present -- the outage dates, affected locations, and scope are unchanged from prior revisions.
No new operational information in this revision -- the Moraine Lateral shut-in affects two small local Wisconsin/Illinois delivery points with no stated volume impact, and the situation is unchanged from prior revisions; no material NGPL Midcontinent or Chicago citygate basis signal.
Reroute: Limited: the two affected points (Zion Energy Lake and Kenosha, WI) are localized lateral delivery taps with few practical bypass options, though their small scale limits systemic impact on NGPL mainline flows.

[MAINTENANCE] SEGMENT 8 (CS 167) HOT TAP INSTALLATION
NGPL has declared a force majeure at Compressor Station 168 in Bailey County, Texas (Segment 8, Permian Zone), effective gas day August 20, 2026 Intraday 1 and continuing until further notice. A unit outage requires NGPL to reduce maximum operating capacity northbound from Segment 9 into Segment 8, with the scheduling constraint applied at CS 167. Primary Firm and Secondary in-path Firm transports will be scheduled to no less than 86% of contract MDQ through CS 167; AOR/ITS and Secondary out-of-path Firm transports are suspended for the duration.
NGPL force majeure on Permian Zone northbound capacity (CS 168/167 constraint) cuts firm transport to 86% of MDQ through CS 167, tightening supply flow toward Chicago and Midwest delivery markets; NGPL Midcontinent basis was already at -0.450 vs Henry Hub on 2026-08-19 (5-day average -0.359), and this restriction should narrow that discount as northbound throughput is reduced -- watch for bullish pressure at Chicago Citygate and NGPL Midcontinent basis.
Reroute: Limited: NGPL is one of the highest-capacity Gulf Coast-to-Chicago pipelines, and while ANR, PEPL, and REX Zone 3 serve overlapping Midwest corridors, NGPL's Permian Zone is a major northbound artery and a full-volume reroute at short notice is unlikely; Permian/Amarillo receipt shippers may also face congestion on Transwestern and EPNG as alternatives.

[FORCE MAJEURE] FORCE MAJEURE - REMEDIATION - CS341-UPD5
SEV 4/5
Force MajeureUntil Further Notice1 Days
NGPL has declared a force majeure at Compressor Station 341 (CS341), effective June 22, 2026 at 11:24 AM, with restoration expected by June 23, 2026 at 9:00 AM. The notice is a first revision (fresh event) with no capacity volume stated. Duration is approximately one calendar day. CS341 is on the NGPL mainline, a high-throughput Gulf Coast-to-Midwest corridor pipeline.
NGPL force majeure at CS341 restricts northbound Gulf Coast-to-Midwest throughput; expect bearish Henry Hub pressure as Gulf Coast supply backs up and bullish pressure at Chicago Citygate and NGPL Midcontinent basis -- no capacity volume stated so magnitude is uncertain but force majeure classification warrants close monitoring.
Reroute: Moderate: ANR, PEPL, and REX Zone 3 serve overlapping Gulf Coast-to-Midwest corridors and may absorb some displaced volumes, but NGPL is one of the highest-capacity Midwest pipelines and partial offsets are likely insufficient for large displacements.

[FORCE MAJEURE] FORCE MAJEURE-REMEDIATION-CS341-UP4
SEV 4/5
Force MajeureUntil Further Notice14 Days
NGPL has declared a force majeure event affecting Compressor Station 341 (CS341) on the UP4 segment, effective immediately on 06/16/2026 with a stated end date of 06/30/2026. No specific capacity volume is provided in the notice. CS341 is a key compression point on NGPL's Gulf Coast-to-Midwest corridor, and this FM declaration indicates an unplanned equipment failure or emergency condition requiring remediation over approximately 14 days.
NGPL CS341 force majeure on UP4 segment tightens northbound Gulf Coast takeaway capacity, expect bearish pressure at Henry Hub as gas backs up onshore with bullish pressure at Chicago Citygate and NGPL Midcontinent basis; no volume stated but CS341 outages on NGPL can materially affect one of the highest-throughput Midwest corridors.
Reroute: Moderate: ANR, PEPL, and REX Zone 3 serve overlapping Gulf Coast-to-Chicago/Midwest corridors and may absorb some displaced volumes, but NGPL is very high capacity and a full reroute of all affected volumes is unlikely given typical spare capacity constraints on competing pipes.

[FORCE MAJEURE] FORCE MAJEURE-REMEDIATION-CS34 -UP3
SEV 4/5
Force MajeureUntil Further Notice1 Days
NGPL has declared a force majeure at Compressor Station 34 (Unit 3) effective June 11, 2026 at 3:21 PM, with restoration targeted for June 12, 2026 at 9:00 AM -- approximately 18 hours of impact. No specific capacity volume is stated in the notice. CS34 is located on NGPL's Gulf Coast-to-Midwest mainline corridor, and the unit outage constrains northbound throughput.
NGPL force majeure at CS34 Unit 3 constrains Gulf Coast-to-Chicago northbound capacity; expect bearish Henry Hub pressure as gas backs up at Gulf Coast origin points and bullish Chicago Citygate and NGPL Midcontinent basis versus Henry Hub for the duration.
Reroute: Moderate: ANR, PEPL, and REX Zone 3 serve overlapping Chicago and Midwest markets and may absorb displaced volumes, though NGPL is very high capacity and a compressor outage of unknown magnitude may not be fully offset by alternatives.
