Williams Reports No Major Damage from Hurricane Harvey

Tulsa’s Williams Partners says its operations in the Gulf Coast area suffered no major damage from Hurricane Harvey.

The company announced Wednesday that the majority of its operations required to handle offshore production have been inspected and are “ready for service.” Some some production remains shut-in pending a pre-start test and the restart of the third-party operated Quintana Crude Oil Terminal.

The company reports some offshore production is starting to come back online. Its Transco system expects offshore production to resume in the next few days.

Transco has also not reported any operational issues but assessments are still underway. So far, the company has not reported any significant facility damage.

The gathering systems of Williams Partners in the Gulf Coast area are also ready for service and the company expects third-party producers to resume flow into the systems in the next day or so.

Williams also says it is focusing on the need of its employees who were affected by the storm. Many are being supported through the company’s emergency disaster relief fund.
