GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
(Continued)
3. QUALITY (Continued)
3.2 Gas Quality at Delivery Point(s). The gas delivered by
Transporter to Shipper at the Delivery Point shall be natural gas
containing a gross heating value of at least 985 Btus. Such gas shall
be commercially free of dust, gums, dirt, impurities and other solid
matter and shall not contain more than one-quarter grain hydrogen
sulfide per one hundred cubic feet as determined by using commercially
available on-line analyses and/or such analytical methods that are
generally accepted in industry practice; provided that Transporter may
install and utilize a recording hydrogen sulfide analyzer to monitor
the gas at points at which it deems such continuous monitoring to be
desirable. The gas to be delivered shall not contain more than twenty
grains of total sulfur per one hundred cubic feet.
The gas shall be free of water and hydrocarbons in liquid form at
the temperature and pressure at which the gas is delivered and in no
event shall have a water content in excess of seven pounds in vapor
phase per million cubic feet.
3.3 Determination of Gross Heating Value and Component Analysis. The
entity operating the measurement equipment (which may be the Delivering
Pipeline) shall determine the gross heating value of the gas delivered and its
component analysis at reasonable intervals. Such determination shall be made
using either an on-line chromatograph or by chromatographic analysis of a
representative sample of gas taken with a continuous sampler. Transporter
may at its option allow the use of spot samples. If at any time and for
any reason Shipper or Transporter should question the results of any spot
sampling, a redetermination shall be made and the
redetermination mutually acceptable to the parties shall be used;
provided, however, if neither party questions such results within a
period of sixty (60) days following the determination thereof, then
such results shall be deemed conclusive and binding upon the parties.
Btu measuring equipment shall be installed at a location or locations
where the gross heating value of the gas received or delivered
hereunder may be reasonably determined. Transporter may rely on
Delivering Pipeline's measurements as conclusive.
3.4 Failure to Meet Specifications. Transporter or Shipper shall
have the right, exercisable by the giving of written or oral notice to
the other party, to require the remedy of any failure to deliver or
redeliver gas in accordance with the quality specifications set forth
in Sections 3.1 and 3.2. In the event gas delivered by either party
fails to conform to such specifications, as evidenced by the latest
chromatograph analysis derived from an on-line chromatograph or from a
sample taken manually and analyzed by a chromatograph, the receiving
party may refuse to accept all or any portion of such gas.
