[FORCE MAJEURE] Force Majeure Seg 310 Blanco Compressor

SEV 4/5Force Majeure0.080 Bcf/dUntil further notice
Summary
TransColorado Gas Transmission has declared a force majeure on Segment 310 at the Blanco Compressor Station effective September 30, 2026 Cycle 5 (Intraday 3), following a jacket water coupling failure on Unit #2. Operational capacity through the Segment 310_BLANCO_COMPRESSOR_BH TD2 constraint is reduced from 260,000 Dth/d to 180,000 Dth/d (a loss of 80,000 Dth/d, or 0.080 Bcf/d), with restoration until further notice. TC has indicated it will post an updated maintenance notice reflecting the total impact.
Trading note
Force majeure removes 0.080 Bcf/d of TransColorado takeaway capacity from the San Juan/Piceance Basin with no restoration timeline; expect mild bearish pressure at CIG/Rockies and White River Hub regional basis, which was already averaging -0.609 vs Henry Hub over the five trading days ended 2026-09-25 (most recently -0.720 on September 25) -- the notice effective date falls after that pricing window so traders should monitor for further basis softening.
Reroute potential
Limited: Colorado Interstate Gas (CIG) and Wyoming Interstate (WICD) serve overlapping Rockies areas and provide some alternative egress from the Piceance and San Juan basins, but spare capacity availability is uncertain and cannot fully offset a UFN force majeure constraint.
