US BLM Production Falls in the Last Week of 2022

There was a fall in the US BLM pipeline throughput between 26th and 29th Dec'22, which we believe is due to some unplanned outages. As of now it seems like a minor fault since production returned back to normal levels. The pressure on the pipeline has been increasing the past month (reaching ~1,250 psia from <800 psia at the end of November), which is a positive sign, although it did fall in conjunction with the drop in helium throughput down to below 1,100 psia.
