| #3 This shutdown only covers the TX to NC stretch. The terminal in NC is full and continues pumping to NJ, the end point. Liquid pipelines have terminals with storage tanks every few hundred miles, to allow for variations in flow rates. This is mostly about the shut in refineries in LA not producing any flow input. As to prices, well, any excuse to raise prices. |

| #1 Colonial Pipeline has shuts down Fuel delivery lines due to Hurricane Ida The 5,500-mile Colonial pipeline that supplies almost half of the gasoline on the East Coast shut down Sunday Afternoon. The initial press released stated it was a preemptive measure and only "Temporary". But it is looking like 2 to 3 days min. Note: As we have been previously told during the 3-5 day May 2021 Ransomware attack. The Colonial Pipeline TX-LO to NC carries about 100 millions gallons a of fuel a day, that means 6 refineries that process 1.92 million barrels per day of oil into gasoline and other petroleum products, either shut or curtailed some production. Which will effect gas availability and Prices for a few days to a week. |
