Despite brutally cold temperatures, pipeline constraints, force majeures and widespread interstate pipeline operational flow orders during the recent Dec 29th to Jan 6th timeframe, Encore kept the gas flowing and continued its unblemished streak of never curtailing a customer. Encore Operations personnel were challenged during this period; however, as usual they showed their experience, expertise and dedication navigating through all obstacles put in their way.
