[OPERATIONAL ALERT] BERTRAND COMPRESSOR STATION OPERATIONAL ISSUE - UPDATE #11
SEV 5/5
Compressor Issue1.103 Bcf/dUntil Further Notice
Rockies Express Pipeline has restricted capacity on Segment 250 (West-to-East direction) to 1,103 MDth/d (1.103 Bcf/d) effective March 31, 2026, until further notice due to an ongoing operational issue at Bertrand Compressor Station. This is Update #11, indicating a prolonged unresolved outage. Primary firm, secondary firm, and interruptible service (ITS/AOR) are all at risk of not being scheduled, meaning even firm shippers face potential curtailments with no restoration timeline provided.
REX Segment 250 restriction to 1.103 Bcf/d with all service classes including primary firm at risk tightens Rockies-to-Midcontinent eastbound takeaway; expect bearish pressure at CIG and Opal as Rockies basin gas backs up, with bullish signals at Midcontinent and REX Zone 3 downstream delivery points -- Trailblazer is NOT an independent reroute as it shares Bertrand CS.
Reroute: None: Trailblazer Pipeline leases capacity at Bertrand Compressor Station on REX and is simultaneously constrained by the same facility failure -- these are not independent reroute options. No viable alternative exists for affected West-to-East REX volumes.

[Trailblazer Pipeline (TPC)] [OPERATIONAL ALERT] THIRD PARTY OPERATIONAL ISSUE - BERTRAND COMPRESSOR STATION - UPDATE #10
SEV 5/5
Compressor Issue0.813 Bcf/dUntil Further Notice
Trailblazer Pipeline Segment 20 is restricted to 0.813 Bcf/d effective March 30, 2026 gas day due to a third-party operational issue at Bertrand Compressor Station, and the restriction continues until further notice. Primary firm, secondary firm, and interruptible service are all at risk of curtailment. This is Update #10, indicating an ongoing, unresolved multi-day constraint with no restoration timeline.
Trailblazer Segment 20 restricted to 0.813 Bcf/d with primary and secondary firm at risk; because Trailblazer shares Bertrand CS with REX, both pipes are simultaneously constrained -- expect bearish pressure on Rockies/CIG basis as gas backs up in the basin, with bullish pressure at Midcontinent and Chicago Citygate as eastbound takeaway remains curtailed until further notice.
Reroute: None: REX and Trailblazer share Bertrand Compressor Station -- both are simultaneously constrained by the same third-party facility, eliminating any independent reroute option for eastbound Rockies volumes.

[OPERATIONAL ALERT] BERTRAND COMPRESSOR STATION OPERATIONAL ISSUE - UPDATE #10
SEV 5/5
Compressor Issue1.174 Bcf/dUntil Further Notice
Bertrand Compressor Station on REX Segment 250 remains operationally impaired, restricting eastbound capacity to 1.174 Bcf/d until further notice. Primary firm, secondary firm, and interruptible service are all at risk of not being scheduled -- a rare and serious escalation beyond interruptible-only curtailments. No restoration timeline has been provided.
REX Segment 250 eastbound restriction to 1.174 Bcf/d with primary firm service at risk signals severe Rockies takeaway constraint; expect bearish pressure at CIG/Cheyenne Hub as Rockies gas backs up, with bullish pressure at Midcontinent and Chicago Citygate as eastbound supply is reduced.
Reroute: None: Trailblazer Pipeline leases capacity at Bertrand Compressor Station on REX -- both pipes are simultaneously constrained by the same facility failure. No independent reroute exists for eastbound Rockies volumes.

[Trailblazer Pipeline (TPC)] [OPERATIONAL ALERT] THIRD PARTY OPERATIONAL ISSUE - BERTRAND COMPRESSOR STATION - UPDATE #11
SEV 4/5
Compressor Issue0.764 Bcf/dUntil Further Notice
Trailblazer Pipeline Segment 20 is restricted to 0.764 Bcf/d effective March 31, 2026 ID2 cycle and continuing until further notice due to a third-party operational issue at Bertrand Compressor Station. This is Update #11, indicating a prolonged unresolved outage with no restoration timeline. Primary firm, secondary firm, and interruptible service are all at risk of curtailment.
Bertrand CS restriction caps Trailblazer Segment 20 at 0.764 Bcf/d with firm service at risk; because REX also shares Bertrand CS, reroute is effectively unavailable, placing bearish pressure on Rockies basin basis (CIG/Cheyenne) with no meaningful eastbound relief valve until Bertrand is restored.
Reroute: None: Trailblazer and REX share Bertrand Compressor Station -- both are simultaneously constrained by the same third-party facility, making REX a non-viable reroute option for affected Trailblazer volumes.
Below alert threshold -- no detailed analysis performed.
Reroute: Not assessed.

[Trunkline Gas Company] [Maint] Trunkline South Texas Maintenance Update #2
SEV 3/5
Maintenance77 Days
Trunkline Gas Company (TGC) is performing integrity work on its South Texas Modified Transmission System (STX System) between the Jalapeno interconnection (Jim Wells County) and Mainline Valve 16 (Bee County) from March 23 through June 8, 2026 -- a 77-day window. The segment is operating under reduced pressure and is effectively shut in for deliveries unless a delivery point in the segment can accept gas. Reservation Charge Crediting has been invoked, confirming firm service impact.
TGC South Texas segment effectively shut in through June 8, 2026; no specific capacity volume stated but firm service is curtailed on the STX segment, tightening Gulf Coast supply and modestly supporting Henry Hub and TETCO STX basis over the maintenance window.
Reroute: Moderate: Texas Eastern (TETCO), Southern Natural (EGT), and ANR serve overlapping Gulf Coast and northbound Midwest corridors, but specific South Texas delivery points on the STX segment have limited bypass options without interconnect access in the affected reach.
