FORM OF NGL BANK AGREEMENT
ARTICLE V
SETTLEMENTS
5.1 Settlement Calculations. The NGL Bank settlement
calculations to be performed by the Administrator shall involve a
process that is intended to estimate the monthly theoretical
gross processing margin economics for each Shipper's natural gas
stream. For purposes of this Agreement, such monthly theoretical
gross processing margin economics shall be calculated as follows:
a) A shipper's revenue from theoretical processing shall
be calculated by first determining the differences between such
shipper's Production Point NGL components upstream from that
Production Point's Receipt Point, adjusted for phase change
attributable to Retrograde Condensate and injected condensate, if
any, and the weighted average NGL components for all of the
Production Points upstream of the various Receipt Points on
Transporter's Facility, adjusted for phase change attributable to
Retrograde Condensate and injected condensate, if any. The
differences between a shipper's Production Point NGL components
and the weighted average NGL components for all of the Production
Points upstream from the various Receipt Points on Transporter's
Facility shall then be adjusted by applying representative
component recovery factors to provide a likely NGL volume which
would be available after theoretical processing ("Theoretical NGL
Recovery"). Such representative component recovery factors shall
be determined by using the allocated recoveries from the
allocation statements of the gas plants which process gas
delivered from Transporter's Facility to interstate pipelines
which, in turn, deliver the gas to the processing plants
("plants") and once such representative component recovery
factors are determined, same shall be weighted according to the
volume of gas delivered from Transporter's Facility to the Plants
compared to the total volume of gas delivered from Transporter's
Facility. Each month, new representative component recovery
factors shall be calculated using the aforementioned procedure.
The Theoretical NGL Recovery for each individual NGL component
shall then be multiplied by the representative Plant lease
settlement basis and the representative sales price for each
individual NGL component to yield a sum to be known as the
"Theoretical Revenue" for each individual NGL component. For
purposes of this Agreement, the representative Plant lease
settlement basis shall be eighty percent (80%), which may be
adjusted from time-to-time at the Administrator's reasonable
discretion. For purposes of this Agreement, the representative
sales price for each individual NGL component shall be determined
as follows:
