GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS (Continued)
for each hour of each day by a calorimeter or as determined by chromatographic
analysis of a sample of gas collected daily during the month, or any other method
mutually agreed upon.
(c) Dekatherms delivered shall be determined by multiplying the Mcf delivered by the
ratio of the Btu per cubic foot delivered to 1,000. For purposes of this
determination the specific gravity and heating value shall be determined at
approximately the same time.
(d) The temperature of the gas passing through the meters shall be determined for any
day by the continuous use of a recording thermometer so installed that it may
properly record the temperature of the gas flowing through the meters. The
arithmetic average of the temperature recorded each day shall be used in computing
gas volumes.
(e) The specific gravity of the gas delivered shall be determined by the use of a
recording gravitometer, which shall be checked at least once each month, or any
other method mutually agreed upon.
(f) The deviation of the natural gas from Boyle's Law shall be determined by the use of
the tables of formulae published by the American Gas Association Par Research
Project NX-19 corrected for carbon dioxide and nitrogen, or any superseding
applicable tables published by the American Gas Association.
Determinations of the molecular percentage of N2 and CO2 in the gas shall be made
within thirty (30) days after commencement of deliveries and at least quarterly
thereafter. The molecular percentage of N2 and CO2 thus determined will be used to
determine the supercompressibility factors during the ensuing period, with
corrections for specific gravity, temperature and pressure.
3. Determination of Deliveries and Receipts: Seller shall determine the allocation of
quantities of gas received at any Receipt Point or delivered at any Delivery Point among
Shippers and services as follows: (a) In accordance with allocation procedures
specifically agreed to by Seller and th operator of the Receipt Point or of the Delivery
Point, in advance of gas flow or at the beginning of any month thereafter, unless a
lesser period of time is mutually agreed upon by Seller and the operator; (b) In the
absence of a methodology set forth in (3)(a), Shipper shall cause the operator at the
Receipt Point or Delivery Point to advise Seller in advance of gas flow and at the
beginning of each month thereafter, unless a lesser period of time is mutually agreed
upon by Seller and the operator, or the methodology to be utilized in determining actual
receipts or deliveries among all Shippers and services scheduling service at such Receipt
Point or Delivery Point (i.e., which services are baseloaded and which services take the
swing); provided, however, that such methodology must allocate the receipts or
deliveries, to the maximum extent possible, in accordance with confirmed nominations; or
