GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR SERVICES
8.2 At any receipt or delivery point, Transporter will allocate
available gas to Shippers according to the following methodology:
a. Gas will be allocated first to firm transportation
through the point, up to the daily nomination. If
unsufficient gas is available to satisfy firm nominations,
the available gas will be allocated pro rata based on
firm nominations.
b. Any remaining volumes will be allocated pro rata to
interruptible transportation based on the approved
nominations.
c. The transportation priority for fuel shall be the same
as the level of service of the transaction which it applies.
8.3 PREDETERMINED ALLOCATION AGREEMENTS. Transporter may enter into
mutually acceptable predetermined allocation agreements with
upstream or downstream parties to accommodate allocation
methodologies different than that outlined in Section 8.2.
The allocation methodology types which two parties may agree
upon are ranked, pro rata, percentage, swing and operator
provided value. If the two parties cannot agree upon an
allocation methodology, pro rata based upon confirmed nominations
shall be used as the default method. The party responsible for
custody transfer (the party performing the measurement function)
shall provide the allocation. Two welded parties shall agree
on who submits a pre-determined allocation methodology and who
allocates at the point before gas flows. The is no need to
submit pre-determined allocation if a transportation service
provider has an operational balancing agreement in effect for
a point. Only one pre-determined allocation methodology shall
be applied per allocation period. The upstream or downstream
party providing the point confirmation shall submit the
pre-determined allocation to the allocating party after or
during confirmation and before start of gas day. The
allocating party shall send back confirmation of receipt of
the pre-determined allocation within fifteen minutes.
Transporter will accept GISB-approved allocation methodology
types from the upstream or downstream custody transfer party
who is providing the point confirmation.
8.4 OPERATIONAL BALANCING AGREEMENTS. Transporter will
enter into mutually acceptable operational balancing
agreements with upstream or downstream parties.
