[Transwestern Pipeline] [Capacity Constraint] ATOKA 2 POINT GROUP
SEV 4/5Force Majeure1 days
Summary
Transwestern Pipeline has declared a force majeure on the ATOKA 2 POINT GROUP, effective October 20 at 9:00 AM through October 21 at 8:59 AM -- approximately one gas day. No specific capacity volume is stated in the notice. Pre-event flow data for the two named Atoka-area receipt points (ATOKA PECOS DIAMOND PL 8 INCH, loc_id 9168; AGAVE ATOKA #3 STA, loc_id 500305) shows zero scheduled quantities over the prior seven days, suggesting this is a small receipt-point group with minimal throughput ahead of the event.
Trading note
TW force majeure on ATOKA 2 POINT GROUP applies split-direction pressure: bearish Waha and Transwestern Permian basis as any constrained receipts back up at the basin, and mildly bullish SoCal Border and Arizona delivery points; pre-event flow at the two identified Atoka receipt meters was 0.00 Bcf/d across the prior week, so immediate market impact is likely negligible in volume terms despite the FM declaration.
Reroute potential
Moderate: EPNG serves overlapping Permian-to-California and Permian-to-Arizona corridors and can absorb marginal volumes if needed; however, given near-zero pre-event flows at the identified Atoka meters, reroute need appears minimal.
