Alliance Restarts Pipeline and Begins Shipping Natural Gas
(firmenpresse) - CALGARY, ALBERTA -- (Marketwired) -- 08/13/15 -- Alliance Pipeline today announced it has restarted its mainline pipeline system and has safely resumed commercial operations and service for its customers.
Flaring operations at Alliance's block valve near Arcola and the Alameda compressor station in southeastern Saskatchewan have concluded. Alliance began receiving operational linepack from shippers on Wednesday, August 12, 2015, enabling the company to begin a controlled restart of the mainline pipeline system. The Force Majeure was lifted earlier today.
"Alliance is pleased to be safely resuming operational service for our customers," said Daniel Sutherland, Vice President, Commercial Operations. "We appreciate the cooperation and patience of local residents, officials and communities and our customers as we safely reduced the amount of hydrogen sulphide (H2S) in the pipeline to a safe level through our flaring operations."
Alliance shut down its mainline pipeline system on August 7, 2015 following the detection of H2S that entered its system as a result of complications experienced by an upstream operator. The company established an information website, , to keep interested parties informed.
