[FORCE MAJEURE] REX HAMILTON COMPRESSOR STATION (SEG 360) FORCE MAJEURE
SEV 4/5Force Majeure2.274 Bcf/dUntil further notice
Summary
REX declared a force majeure at Hamilton Compressor Station effective ID1 cycle Gas Day October 7, 2026, and until further notice. Segment 360 eastbound capacity is restricted to 2.274 Bcf/d, with upstream segments 370 and 380 also curtailed to 2.657 and 2.692 Bcf/d respectively. Primary firm, secondary firm, and AOR/ITS quantities are all at risk of not being scheduled.
Trading note
REX Hamilton FM caps Seg 360 E-to-W flow at 2.274 Bcf/d with firm and secondary firm service at risk; expect bullish pressure at Lebanon Hub and Midwest delivery points as westbound throughput tightens, with no clear HH directional signal given REX's Midwest-facing flow path.
Reroute potential
Limited: Trailblazer Pipeline (TPC) is the primary Rockies eastbound alternative, but REX and Trailblazer share Bertrand Compressor Station -- they are not independent reroutes for one another, limiting offset capacity. Zone 3 Appalachian westbound reversals on REX may partially compensate for Midwest demand, but firm service curtailment risk leaves limited near-term relief.
