GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
(Continued)
3.3. Resolving Differences at the Delivery Point(s) – If the testing and calibration
performed at the Delivery Point(s) pursuant to Section 4 show that any item of
equipment installed by Transporter does not conform to the accuracy requirements
of Section 4, all previous readings of that item of equipment shall be corrected
to zero error for any period which the equipment was known to be in error. If
this period is not known, the correction shall be made for a period extending
back one-half of the time elapsed since the last testing and calibration per-
formed. During any period when any item of equipment installed at the Delivery
Point(s) by Transporter is inoperable or known to be in error, the measurements
provided by the corresponding item of equipment installed by Shipper, if any,
shall be used if determined to be accurate. If neither item of equipment is
operable or accurate, or available in the case of Shipper’s equipment, the speci-
fication to be measured shall be determined by the parties hereto on the basis of
the best data available using the first of the following methods which is feasible:
3.3.1. By correcting the error if the percentage of error is ascertainable by
calibration, test, or mathematical calculations; or
3.3.2. By comparing deliveries made during the preceding period under similar
delivery conditions when the equipment was registering accurately.
3.4. Measurement of Heating Value, Carbon Dioxide, Oxygen, Nitrogen and Hydrogen Sulfide
Transporter’s Gas chromatograph installed at the Receipt Point or other suitable
as determined by Transporter, upstream Gas chromatograph shall be used to measure
the heating value, carbon dioxide, oxygen and nitrogen levels in the Gas stream.
3.5. Determination of Total Delivered MMBtu
The total number of MMBtus delivered shall be determined by Section 3.1. If the
total MMBtu results obtained by use of Transporter’s equipment differ by two per-
cent or more from the results obtained by use of Shipper’s check metering equip-
ment, then Transporter and Shipper shall each be required to calibrate its mea-
surement 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 cali-
brations 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.
