GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
(Continued)
3.11 Failure of Measuring Equipment. In the event any measuring equipment is out of
service, or is found registering inaccurately and the error is not determinable
by test, or by previous recordings, receipts or deliveries through such
equipment shall be estimated:
(a) By using the registration of any check meter or meters, if installed and
accurately registering, or in the absence of (a);
(b) By correcting the error if the percentage of error is ascertainable by
calibration, special test, or mathematical calculation, or in the absence
of both (a) and (b) then;
(c) By estimating the quantity of receipt or delivery based on receipts or
deliveries during preceding periods under similar conditions when the
measuring equipment was registering accurately.
Provided, however, that estimates of receipts or deliveries determined in
accordance with Section 3.10 herein, shall in no event cover a period of time
greater than 6 months from the date such failure of measuring equipment under
this section is known definitely or agreed upon.
3.12 Measurement Corrections. The cutoff for the closing of measurement is five (5)
business days after the business month. If an error is discovered in the
measured quantities, claim therefor shall be made within six (6) months of the
production month in which the claimed error occurred. The time for dispute or
resolution of the claim shall be three (3) months from the date the claim is
made. If there is an agreement as to the amount of an error, any adjustment
shall be made within thirty (30) days of the determination thereof. Such time
limits shall not apply in the case of deliberate omission or misrepresentation,
or mutual mistake of fact.
3.13 Preservation of Records. Shipper and U-TOS shall preserve for a period of at
least three years, or for such other period as may be permitted by public
authority, all test data, charts, and other similar records, but not less than
24 months.
4. GAS QUALITY
4.1 Treatment of Gas. Unless otherwise agreed, the Gas delivered at the Points of
Receipt and the Point of Delivery hereunder shall be Gas which has not been
processed for the removal of liquefiable hydrocarbons; provided, however, that
U-TOS may subject or permit the subjection of said Gas to compression, cooling,
cleaning, or other processes to such an extent as may be required in U-TOS' sole
opinion for its transmission from the Points of Receipt to the Point of
Delivery.
Nothing contained herein shall be construed so as to prevent the use of
conventional separation equipment, including low temperature wellhead separation
units, prior to the delivery of Gas to U-TOS hereunder.
