11. MEASUREMENT
11.1 The unit of volume for the purpose of measurement and the determination
of total heating value of all quantities of Gas received, injected,
withdrawn, stored, wheeled, parked, loaned or delivered on Operator's
Facility shall be one (1) cubic foot of Gas at the base temperature of
sixty degrees Fahrenheit (60 degrees F) and at the absolute pressure of
fourteen and seventy-three hundredths (14.73) pounds per square inch and
dry. All fundamental constants, observations, records, and procedures
involved in determining and/or verifying the quantity and other
characteristics of gas delivered hereunder shall, unless otherwise
specified herein, be in accordance with the standards prescribed in
Report No. 3 of the American Gas Association, as now and from time to
time amended or supplemented. All measurements of gas shall be
determined by calculation into terms of such unit. All quantities given
herein, unless expressly stated otherwise, are terms of such unit of
volume. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is agreed that, for all
purposes, the Btu content of the gas volumes received and delivered by
Operator hereunder shall be measured on a "dry" basis rather than a
fully saturated or "wet" basis. For Gas volume reported in cubic meters,
the standard conditions are one hundred one and three hundred
twenty-five ten thousandths (101.325) kilopascals (kPa), 15 degrees
Celsius (C), and dry.
11.2 Operator shall install, maintain and operate, or cause to be installed,
maintained and operated, the measurement facilities required hereunder.
Said measurement facilities shall be so equipped with orifice meters,
recording gauges, or other types of meters of standard make and design
commonly acceptable in the industry, as to accomplish the accurate
measurement of gas delivered hereunder. The retrieval of data,
calibrating and adjustment of meters shall be done by Operator or its
agent.
11.3 The unit of Gas received, injected, withdrawn, stored, wheeled, parked,
loaned or delivered shall be measured as one million (1,000,000) Btu's,
as defined in Section 1 (Definitions) of these General Terms and
Conditions. The quantity of Btu's received, injected, withdrawn, stored,
wheeled, parked, loaned or delivered shall be determined by multiplying
the number of cubic feet of Gas determined pursuant to Section 11.1
herein by the total heating value of such Gas in Btu's per cubic feet,
rounded to not less than six (6) decimal places and by dividing the
resulting product by one million (1,000,000), as such heating value is
determined from time to time.
