GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
9. SCHEDULING, CURTAILMENT AND IMBALANCES (Cont'd)
9.7 Resolution of Monthly Imbalances
This Section 9.7 is applicable to Shippers under Rate Schedules
FTS, SFT and ITS. This Section also applies to Shippers under
Rate Schedules TSS and STS to the extent net injections result in
Shipper's storage inventory balance exceeding the MSQ or to the
extent Shipper's storage inventory balance is less than the amount
of net withdrawals.
An imbalance results when a Shipper delivers or causes delivery to
Southern Star at the receipt point(s) of a quantity of gas which,
after appropriate reduction for fuel and loss, is less than or
greater than the quantity of gas taken from Southern Star at the
delivery point(s). Shippers shall maintain thermal balancing of
receipts and deliveries on a daily basis to the maximum extent
possible. Any monthly imbalances which do remain, however, shall
be subject to the provisions of this Section 9.7.
(a) All transportation agreements with each Shipper within the
same area (production/market) will be combined for purposes
of determining whether a net monthly imbalance exists. If a
Shipper utilizes more than one agreement to transport the
same gas sequentially within the same area, Southern Star
will utilize original receipts and ultimate deliveries for
purposes of determining the monthly imbalance. An imbalance
statement shall be generated for each Shipper at the same
time or prior to the generation of the transportation
invoice, which will state their level of imbalance for the
preceding calendar month. Shippers may elect to resolve
their imbalances by the end of the calendar month following
the month in which the imbalance occurs by any of the
following means:
(i) imbalance trading among Shippers in the same area,
(ii) treating the imbalance as if it had been injected into
or withdrawn from the Shipper's storage account to the
extent Shipper has storage capacity available or
Shipper's storage inventory is sufficient to cover the
imbalance (applies only to those Shippers who also
have storage agreements with Southern Star),
