[Transwestern Pipeline] [Force Majeure] Force Majeure - Atoka 2 Compressor Station (Artesia Area, NM).Gas Day 10/20/26

SEV 4/5Force Majeure0.040 Bcf/d cut (capped at 0.035 Bcf/d)1 days

Summary

Transwestern Pipeline has declared a force majeure at Atoka 2 Compressor Station (Artesia area, NM) due to mechanical failure, effective Gas Day October 20, 2026. Total station capacity will be reduced from 75,000 MMBtu/d (0.075 Bcf/d) to approximately 35,000 MMBtu/d (0.035 Bcf/d), a reduction of ~0.040 Bcf/d, affecting receipt volumes from DCP Artesia Plant (POI 10703) and Dagger Draw Plant (POI 56339). Transwestern states capacity will return to 75,000 MMBtu/d on Gas Day October 21, making this a single-day event.

Trading note

TW force majeure removes ~0.040 Bcf/d of Artesia-area Permian receipt capacity for Gas Day Oct 20 only; pre-event DCP Artesia (loc 10703) was scheduling ~0.031 Bcf/d against 0.038 Bcf/d operating capacity and Dagger Draw (loc 56339) was scheduling ~0.050 Bcf/d, so the combined receipts at risk broadly align with the stated cut -- expect modest bearish pressure at Waha/Permian basis with negligible downstream SoCal Border impact given the small aggregate volume and single-day duration.

Reroute potential

Limited: Transwestern and EPNG both serve the SoCal border from Permian receipt points; EPNG could absorb marginal volumes from Artesia-area producers, but at 0.040 Bcf/d the cut is small enough that system-wide reroute impact is minimal. The one-day duration further limits market significance.
