GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
7. Separation, Dehydration and Processing: Transporter at its reasonable
discretion may require that some or all of the gas to be transported be
processed to remove liquid and liquefiable hydrocarbons prior to delivery to
Transporter or may require evidence that satisfactory arrangements have been
made for the removal of liquid and liquefiable hydrocarbons at a separation and
dehydration and/or processing plant on Transporter's system. In the event
separation and dehydration and/or processing is to occur after delivery of
transportation gas to Transporter, Transporter and Shipper shall determine a
mutually agreeable charge for the transportation of liquid and liquefiable
hydrocarbons.
III. MEASUREMENT AND SCHEDULING OF RECEIPTS AND DELIVERIES
1. Unit of Measurement: The transportation unit of gas received and delivered by
Transporter shall be a dekatherm.
2. Determination of Volume and Total Heating Value: The volume and the total
heating value of gas received and delivered by Transporter shall be determined
for all purposes, including billing by Transporter and payment by Shippers and
OBA Operators, on the basis of the electronic measurement equipment installed
by Transporter at receipt and delivery points, as follows:
(a) The unit of volume, for the purpose of measurement, shall be defined as
one cubic foot (1cf) of gas at a temperature of sixty degrees (60ø)
Fahrenheit, and at a pressure of thirty-three hundredths (.33) pounds per
square inch above an assumed atmospheric pressure of fourteen and four
tenths (14.4) pounds per square inch resulting in a pressure base of
(fourteen and seventy-three hundredths (14.73) pounds per square inch
absolute pressure). One thousand (1,000) cubic feet shall be denoted as
one (1) Mcf.
(b) The total heating value of the gas per cubic foot (Btu/cf) shall be
determined by taking the average of the heating values as determined each
day by a chromatograph or the chromatographic analysis of a collected gas
sample, or any other method mutually agreed upon. The average (flow-
weighted) heating value of the gas per cubic foot (Btu/cf) for a unit of
time shall be determined by the total dekatherm divided by the total Mcf
volume multiplied by 1000.
