Form of Operational Balancing Agreement - cont.
Unless the Parties otherwise mutually agree in writing:
Each Party shall adjust the operations of its natural gas
facilities as necessary in order to keep the measured flow of gas at
the point(s) of interconnection as nearly as possible equal to the
confirmed, scheduled nominations, but in any event to within a 7%
tolerance. The measuring facilities owned and operated by a Party which
measures receipts and deliveries at the points of interconnection shall
be a part of that Party's natural gas facilities for purposes of this
Agreement.
Neither Party shall be expected to adjust the operation of its natural
gas facilities below a minimum delivery pressure of ___________, or above the
maximum allowable operating pressures of its natural gas facilities at the
point(s) of interconnection.
The Parties agree to cooperate with each other in the making of the
adjustments required under subparagraph 2.3(a).
If it becomes apparent to either Party that the Daily Operational
Imbalance, if any, exceeds, or is projected to exceed, the 7% tolerance, such
Party shall immediately orally notify the other Party thereof and the Parties
shall immediately adjust the operations of their natural gas facilities
pursuant to paragraph 2 in order to keep the confirmed, scheduled nominations
and the Daily Operational Imbalances within the applicable tolerance set
forth above. In the event the Parties cannot, for any reason, adjust
operations of their natural gas facilities as provided in this paragraph 3,
the Parties shall adjust the allocation of gas to Shippers at the points of
interconnection in order to keep the confirmed nominations and the Daily
Operational Imbalances within the applicable 7% tolerance. The Parties will
orally notify each other of such adjustment prior to making the adjustment,
with written notice given as soon as reasonably possible. The OBA Party
shall also provide notice to shippers when Daily Operational Imbalances
exceed the 7% tolerance. The sum of Daily Operational Imbalances for each
day in a given month shall constitute the Monthly Operational Imbalance for
such month.
