Southern is not currently accepting ISS injections and if storage demand exceeds Southern's injection abilities, restrictions will be made into CSS, not to exceed a reduction to each CSS customers account of more than sixty four percent (64%) of their currently effective DIQ and DWQ. Based on current supplies and anticipated demand, we expect storage injection requirements to be near Southern's maximum storage injection capabilities. We request that all Shippers/Poolers monitor the balance between actual receipts and deliveries to ensure that a daily out-of-balance situation does not occur.
Southern's Tariff provides that a Type 6 OFO CAN BE IMPLEMENTED ON FOUR HOURS NOTICE OR LESS depending on the situation. Please call your Account Manager or Scheduling Representative if you have questions. Thank you in advance for your cooperation. SNG Gas Control More information is available at
