[Transwestern Pipeline] [Force Majeure] Force Majeure - Station 8 Compressor Station (Corona, NM). 8/18/26

SEV 4/5Force Majeure0.150 Bcf/d2 days

Summary

Transwestern Pipeline declared force majeure at Station 8 Compressor Station in Corona, NM due to mechanical failure, effective August 18 at 9:00 AM through August 20 at 8:59 AM. The failure reduces westbound receipt capacity at Station 9 (Roswell, NM) from 0.750 Bcf/d to 0.600 Bcf/d, a loss of 0.150 Bcf/d on the West Texas and Panhandle Laterals westbound flow path. Capacity is expected to restore to 0.750 Bcf/d on Gas Day August 20.

Trading note

TW force majeure removes 0.150 Bcf/d of westbound Permian/West Texas takeaway capacity through August 20; expect bearish pressure at Transwestern Permian basis (already trading at -1.030 vs HH as of 2026-08-14, well below the 5-day average of -0.754) as basin gas backs up, with offsetting bullish pressure at SoCal Border and Arizona delivery points -- EPNG capacity should be checked for simultaneous constraint before assuming full SoCal reroute is available.

Reroute potential

Moderate: EPNG is the primary competing pipeline serving the SoCal border and Arizona markets from the Permian Basin and could absorb some diverted volume; however, if EPNG is simultaneously constrained, no California reroute exists and severity would escalate.
