Douglas Heard $24 an mcf today in CA? This might be the cause. (ROYL's gas looks cheap now) Tuesday December 5, 10:48 am Eastern Time Natgas being re-routed after Texas line rupture SAN FRANCISCO, Dec 5 (Reuters) - An explosion late Monday on a 30-inch diameter section of the intra-state Channel Industries natural gas pipeline in southeast Texas was not affecting gas deliveries at other in-state pipelines, a spokeswoman at El Paso Energy (NYSE:EPG - news), said Tuesday. ``We isolated the ruptured line last night and gas service was re-routed onto other surrounding pipelines,'' the El Paso spokeswoman said, adding no other pipelines were affected by the explosion. She did not know the line's capacity. El Paso shares ownership of the line in a 50/50 joint venture with Enron Corp. (NYSE:ENE - news). The cause of the blast was still under investigation and no estimate was yet available for when the line might return to service. At least one person was believed to have been injured during a precautionary evacuation after the explosion, near Baytown, Texas, about 20 miles east of Houston, but it was not seen as life threatening, the spokeswoman said.
