Original Sheet No. 12 Original Sheet No. 12 : Effective
parties, such correction shall be made over a period extending
over the last one-half («) of the time elapsed since the date
of the latest test, such correction period not to exceed
fifteen (15) days.
(C) If, during any test of the measuring equipment, an
adjustment or calibration error is found which results in an
incremental adjustment to the calculated hourly flow rate
which does not exceed two percent (2%) of the adjusted flow
rate (as described in part (B) of this Section), all prior
recording shall be considered to be accurate for quantity
determination purposes.
4.9 Special Test - In the event a Shipper desires a special
test (a test not scheduled by Caprock under the provisions of
Section 4.8 above) of any measuring equipment, seventy-two (72)
hours advance notice, in writing, shall be given to Caprock and both
parties shall cooperate to secure a prompt test of the accuracy of
such equipment. If the measuring equipment tested is found to fall
under the provisions of Section 4.8(A) above or if an inspection of
the primary measurement equipment indicates no problems, Caprock
shall have the right to bill Shipper for the cost of such special
test including any labor and transportation costs pertaining to such
special test and Shipper shall pay such costs.
4.10 Measurement Adjustment - If, for any reason, any
measurement equipment is (i) out of adjustment, (ii) out of service,
or (iii) out of repair and the total calculated hourly flow rate
through each meter run is found to be in error by an amount of the
magnitude described in Section 4.8(B) above, the total quantity of
gas delivered shall be redetermined in accordance with the first of
the following methods which is feasible:
(A) by using the registration of any mutually
agreeable check metering facility, if installed and accurately
registering (subject to testing as described in Section 4.8
above);
(B) where parallel multiple meter runs exist, by
calculation using the registration of such parallel meter
runs; provided that they are measuring gas from upstream and
downstream headers in common with the faulty metering
equipment, are not controlled by separate regulators, and are
accurately registering;
(C) by correcting the error by re-reading of the
official charts, or by straightforward application of a
correction factor to the quantities recorded for the period
(if the net percentage of error is ascertainable by
calibration, tests or mathematical calculation);
(D) by estimating the quantity, based upon deliveries
made during periods of similar conditions when the meter was
registering accurately.
4.11 Data and Records Retention - Caprock shall retain and
preserve for a period of at least two (2) years all test data,
charts, and other similar records.
