GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
(Continued)
3.6. Measurement of Gross Calorific Heating Value, Carbon Dioxide, Oxygen,
Nitrogen and Hydrogen Sulfide
Transporter’s Gas chromatograph installed at the Receipt Point shall be used
to measure the gross calorific heating value, carbon dioxide, oxygen and
nitrogen levels in the Gas stream. The standard for calculation of gross
calorific heating value, specific gravity and compressibility of Gas
mixtures from compositional analysis shall be Gas Processors Association
Standard No. 2172-84, as amended or supplemented from time to time. If
Shipper accepts delivery of any Gas that contains moisture in excess of the
limit for dry Gas designated by the specifications referenced in Section 2
of the GT&C, the gross calorific heating value will be adjusted to reflect
the actual water vapor content of the Gas accordingly for billing purposes.
3.7. Determination of Total Delivered MMBtu
The total number of MMBtus delivered shall be determined by multiplying the
delivered gross calorific heating value, as determined in Section 3.1, by
the total volume of Gas. If the total MMBtu results obtained by use of
Transporter’s equipment differ by one percent or more from the results
obtained by use of Shipper’s check metering equipment, then Transporter and
Shipper shall each be required to calibrate its measurement equipment. If
such calibrations indicate that Transporter’s measurement equipment is not
within the tolerance levels set forth in Section 3.3 and that Shipper’s
measurement equipment is within the tolerance levels set forth in Section
3.3, then Shipper’s measurement equipment shall be used. If such
calibrations indicate that neither parties’ measurement equipment is within
the tolerance levels set forth in Section 3.3, then the provisions of
Section 3.4 shall be followed to resolve any measurement inaccuracies.
