[FORCE MAJEURE] Force Majeure - Seligman C Station

SEV 4/5Force Majeure0.171 Bcf/d1 days

Summary

EPNG has declared force majeure at Seligman C Compressor Station in Yavapai County, Arizona, following a dry seal failure that has taken the station offline pending repairs. Operational capacity through the NORTH ML constraint is reduced by an additional 170,521 Dth/d (0.171 Bcf/d) effective September 27, 2026 Intraday 1 Cycle (Cycle 3). EPNG will issue an updated maintenance notice to reflect the total combined impact at the NORTH ML constraint; the stated end date is September 28, 2026 at 9:00 AM, though repair timeline remains uncertain.

Trading note

EPNG force majeure at Seligman C removes an additional 0.171 Bcf/d of westbound NORTH ML capacity; expect bearish pressure at Waha as Permian takeaway tightens further, with corresponding bullish pressure at SoCal Border and Arizona delivery points -- note EPNG has flagged a forthcoming updated maintenance notice that may quantify a larger total NORTH ML impact.

Reroute potential

Moderate: Transwestern Pipeline (TW) is the primary competing pipeline for SoCal border deliveries and provides the main alternative westbound corridor; however, any pre-existing TW constraints would eliminate reroute options entirely for California-bound volumes.
