Force Majeure: St Anthony Compressor 7

SEV 4/5Force Majeure2.160 Bcf/dUntil further notice

Summary

NBPL has declared a Force Majeure effective evening September 11, 2026 due to an unplanned equipment failure at Compressor Station 07 (CS07) near St. Anthony, ND. As a result, nominated volumes past Glen Ullin (GlenSEG) are restricted to 2,160 MMcf/d (2.160 Bcf/d) until further notice. Pre-event capacity data from the prior gas day (September 10) shows GlenSEG already running at 99.4% utilization (2.52 Bcf/d scheduled against 2.53 Bcf/d operating capacity), meaning the new 2.160 Bcf/d cap represents a reduction of approximately 0.37 Bcf/d from already near-full flow; note the capacity table predates the FM by one gas day and does not yet reflect the restriction.

Trading note

NBPL FM at CS07 caps GlenSEG flows at 2.160 Bcf/d until further notice, cutting roughly 0.37 Bcf/d of Canadian/Bakken supply into the Midwest; expect bullish pressure at Chicago Citygate and Northern Border Ventura TP basis, which was last quoted at -0.205 vs Henry Hub on 2026-09-09 and is likely to tighten further once the evening-cycle restriction takes effect.

Reroute potential

Limited: Alliance Pipeline provides an alternative Canadian supply route into Chicago but volumes are typically fully subscribed, leaving minimal spare capacity to absorb displaced NBPL volumes; no other pipeline replicates NBPL's specific Canadian border crossing and Midwest delivery corridor.
