[OPERATIONAL ALERT] BERTRAND COMPRESSOR STATION OPERATIONAL ISSUE - UPDATE #18
SEV 4/5Compressor Issue1.094 Bcf/dUntil further notice
Summary
REX Update #18 confirms Segment 250 (West-to-East) remains restricted to 1.094 Bcf/d at Bertrand Compressor Station effective Gas Day October 1, 2026, until further notice. At this restriction level, primary firm, secondary firm, and ITS/AOR quantities are all at risk of not being scheduled. No restoration timeline has been provided across 18 updates, and this is a fresh notice (Revision 1) posted September 30, 2026.
Trading note
REX Segment 250 W-to-E cap of 1.094 Bcf/d with primary firm at risk is a sustained, material Rockies-to-Midwest constraint; expect bullish pressure at Lebanon Hub and Midwest delivery points, and note that Trailblazer shares Bertrand CS and cannot serve as an independent reroute, leaving no effective bypass for the affected volumes.
Reroute potential
None: REX and Trailblazer share Bertrand Compressor Station -- both are simultaneously constrained by the same facility, so Trailblazer cannot serve as an independent reroute for REX Segment 250 flows.
