| Hi Mark! |
Patti, It was good to see you and Mike last night.
I wanted to follow up on the MS150 - I can assure you that you will do fine without training (assuming, of course, that you have a bike).
I did it that way twice before with no major complications.
Given your running, you will do better.
It really is a lot of fun.
Sherri is checking to see if you can join the Enron team.
We will be the first team off on Saturday morning and the team has good facilities (tents, food, etc.)
that improve the experience.
GO FOR IT!!
Jeff PS - hi, Patti - this is Sherri.
I did check with our team captain and she said you could join our team so long as you do so by Friday.
She is going to e-mail all the necessary forms and information to me, which I will forward to you today if you are interested.
Let us know!
Hope all is well...

Hi Mark.
I heard you guys had a great time in Africa - it's hard to believe it has already come and gone!
Just wondering if you still have your unused KLM ticket for the Istanbul/Amsterdam/Nairobi leg of the trip.

If you have it, just drop it in the mail to: Sherri Sera c/o Enron Corp. P.O.
Box 1188 Houston, TX 77251-1188 U.S.A.
Thanks and take care,

To Enron Employees: We want to take this opportunity to update all current employees of our ongoing plans for bringing our company out of bankruptcy.
First, to be clear, there are valuable businesses at Enron.
We intend to restructure the company and emerge from Chapter 11 as a healthy, albeit smaller, company.
In evaluating each Enron business or asset, we have been asking ourselves two key questions: "Is the business or asset more valuable to the creditors as a going concern that generates positive cash flow, or is it more valuable being sold and turned into cash?"
We have completed our preliminary analysis and have concluded that the majority of the U.S. assets are more valuable as a going concern.
These include pipelines, power stations and oil and gas properties to name a few.
Many of our emerging market assets are not generating adequate cash and, thus, may be more valuable being sold and turned into cash.
The wholesale trading operation is clearly only valuable with a strong balance sheet behind it.
Unfortunately, Enron does not currently have a strong balance sheet.
Therefore, we are negotiating a transaction whereby Enron would contribute this business to a third party joint venture with a high credit rating while retaining a residual interest in its profit stream.
We believe this is the best alternative to preserve the value of the wholesale business and maintain a cash flow for the remaining businesses of Enron.
We know that everyone is concerned about the recent retention payments made to certain employees.
Let me try to explain our rationale.
As you know, Enron is an intellectual capital business.
Without key people, we go into liquidation.
The wholesale natural gas and power business has been the most profitable business at Enron for the past several years.
It was this business that Dynegy was most interested in acquiring.
Therefore, in early November as the proposed merger was being negotiated, approximately 75 employees related to this business received retention bonuses.
These retention bonuses were paid to employees that were essential to the ultimate success of the merger.
Last week, we took the additional step, related specifically to our bankruptcy filing, of offering payments to approximately 500 employees who are critical to operate our company.
These payments came with the condition that the employees receiving such payments stay employed at Enron for a period of at least 90 days.
Seventy-five percent of employees who received these payments were below the vice president level.
The payments must be repaid, with a significant penalty, if the employee leaves the company early.
With these people in place, these businesses have substantially greater value, which will enhance our ability to pay creditors and provide the greatest benefit to all of Enron stakeholders.
The next step will be for us to work with creditors to agree to a retention plan strategy for the remaining employees.
The goal is for this program to provide you with an incentive for you to stay with us while we work our way out of Chapter 11.
We also intend to see if we can work with creditors to develop more generous severance for current employees who involuntarily lose their jobs in the future.
This is an extraordinarily difficult time for all of us at Enron.
With the constraints of bankruptcy and the deluge of reports from the media, it is difficult for any employee to feel certain of our situation.
However, our previous and near-term actions are intended to preserve as much of the value of our businesses as possible so that we remain a viable company both in the short and long term.
Thank you for your patience, your understanding and your continuing hard work and contributions.
Office of the Chairman

Dear Matthew, HB 1877, by Rep. Patricia Gray, has been set on the House of Representatives Calendar for debate TODAY, Wednesday, May 09, 2001.
This bill would protect your right to choose where you purchase your contact lenses by providing for automatic release of contact lens prescriptions upon final fitting and allowing for a faxed copy of your prescription, instead of requiring a hand written original.
Legislators need to hear from contact lens wearers in support of this important bill IMMEDIATELY.
Please call your state representative's office now and let them know: 1) You are a constituent of their district.
2) You would like them to vote for HB 1877.
3) You support automatic release of contact lens prescriptions, and a faxed copy instead of an original handwritten one because it protects your right to choose where you buy your contact lenses.

Matt, Long time no hear, hope you're doing fine at the new company.
Sorry to bother you with this issue again since I know Leo Sommaripa has contacted you already, so I'll be brief and to the point.
We have been trying to save a copy of the Database on a CD-R so that we can give it to the client for their reference but some issues have come up which have to do with programming.
Our intention is for the client to keep the database in the CD and to be able to access all the features in it so that there is no need for them to copy it unto a hard drive and possibly modify the data.
Since by saving it unto a CD makes the database read-only, there's no problem with keeping the data on the disk intact, and we're even working on a disclaimer to paste on the database.
The problem is that by making it into a read-only file, some commands have become disabled.
Specifically, the buttons on the review form that access the compliance, operations, equipment, and staffing forms are not available through the read-only format.
I ventured into the programming codes for the commands and found the following string on all four buttons: DoCmd.DoMenuItem acFormBar, acRecordsMenu, acSaveRecord, , acMenuVer70 I temporarily deleted that line from the programming codes for all four and so far have not had any problems with accessing all levels of the database in the CD.
Now, I do not know exactly what that string does to the database but would much rather find a safer alternative if possible or at least know that the string is not a critical part of the process.
If this is something that can be answered right off the bat I'd appreciate it, I realize that this is not a priority anymore so if its something that will consume a extended period of time, let me know and I will continue seraching through other channels.
I guess this wasn't brief after all and I appreciate the time and effort.
I can be emailed or I can make the arrangements to call you, whatever's better for you.

Houston Ballet gives free performances of Copp?lia at Miller Outdoor Theatre in Hermann Park 8:00 p.m. Friday May 11, Saturday May 12, & Sunday May 13, 2001 sponsored by AZURIX and ENRON Considered the great comedy of classical ballet, Copp?lia tells the story of a doll so enchantingly lifelike that she mesmerizes an entire village, captures the heart of a young swain named Franz and inspires the eccentric toymaker Dr. Copp?lius to attempt to transform her into a living, breathing human being.
AZURIX and ENRON are Corporate Sponsors for Houston Ballet's Miller Theatre performances, helping to present these free performances of Copp?lia to the people of Houston.
Houston Ballet has a limited number of tickets for the seated area each night for employees of AZURIX and ENRON.
These tickets are available on a first-come, first-served basis by calling William at 713-535-3235 no later than 5 PM today .
(Please be aware that all unoccupied seats are released at 10 minutes before curtain.)
Other, free, general public tickets for the seated area (max 4 per person) are available at the Miller Theatre 11:30 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. on the day of performance; for more information call 713-284-8351 for the Miller Theatre ticket information line.
Tickets are not required for the lawn area.
About Coppelia Copp?lia was first performed on May 25, 1870 at the Th?atre Imp?rial de L'Op?ra, featuring choreography by Arthur Saint-L?on and music by L?o Delibes.
The work maintains a special place in the history of dance, serving as a kind of bridge from the glory of the French Romantic ballet in the early nineteenth century to the masterpieces of the Russian Imperial Theater at the turn of the century.
Writing in The International Dictionary of Ballet, critic Karen Dacko analyzes the unique characteristics of the piece as follows: "Copp?lia owes its longevity to its inspired, very danceable score.
But the ballet is also remarkable for its perennial appeal and for its historical significance as Romanticism's grand finale and classical ballet's prologue."
Copp?lia first entered Houston Ballet' repertoire in October 1974, in a staging by Frederic Franklin (who also performed the role of Dr. Copp?lius), and featuring scenery by Peter Farmer.
In November 1979, former Royal Ballet ballerina Anne Heaton re-staged the work for the company.
When Houston Ballet premiered its new production of the work in March 1992 featuring breathtaking d?cor by Desmond Heeley, Carl Cunningham of The Houston Post wrote, "It would be hard to imagine anything to cap the joyous, gentle, and glorious looking new production of Copp?lia the splendidly prepared company of dancers and musicians put forth Thursday evening on Wortham Center's Brown Theater stage."
(The Houston Post, March 21, 1992) Heeley's designs for Copp?lia never fail to enchant, most notably in the second-act depiction of Dr. Copp?lius's workshop.
The sampling of dolls on display pay homage to the era when automatons, or mechanical toys, were the rage in Europe -- and to Heeley's inexhaustible creativity.
Among the eye-popping toys featured in the workshop are a huge astrologer with a pointed hat and a robe covered in shooting stars and moons; a strongman with a handlebar mustache and barbells; Puss n Boots; an acrobat hanging from a trapeze holding the man in the moon; and a small ballerina dancing on the back of a goat.
In the first act, the vibrant reds, golds, and oranges of the costumes worn by the peasants in the village conjure up a wonderfully picturesque vision of nineteenth century Bavaria.

I have the changes in place in order to start capturing the storage balance(s) for the 2 identified PG&E points ("PG&E Storage" and "Wild Goose Storage").
The next scrape time for PG&E is 12:30 today, so we can evaluate the first run of these values shortly after that.
Through the end of the week (and even beyond), this data should be monitored closely, to make sure the calculations are correct.
Any questions/concerns, let me know.
Chris Pipeline ID: 47 DRN's: PGEINV, WILDGOOSEINV Data starts with effective date 05/12/2001, cycle 7 (this value obtained from the old PG&E Operational Report, needed to 'seed' the rolling calculations)

Just as a heads up...
The web site that serves data for Kinder Morgan, Transcolorado, NGPL, etc.
is having issues as I write this.
The following message comes up when trying to receive point data: An error occurred while executing the page.
Please use the "Back" button on your browser to try again, or try again at a later time.
If the problem persists, please contact ApplicationName Support (user@kne.com).
The error message is: [INTERSOLV][ODBC SQL Server driver][SQL Server]ct_results(): user api layer: internal Client Library error: Read from the server has timed out.
Basically, this means their server currently has issues.
I just wanted to send this out as a heads up that we could potentially miss some cycle information for the morning reports.
Hopefully, the site will stabilize before then.
Thanks,
| KNE web site problems |
Questar appears to not have updated their data since 05/23/2001...files we scraped over this weekend contain no data after that date... Overthrust appears to have had problems with their site this weekend.
All cycles failed this weekend.
Transcolorado Deliveries / Kinder Morgan Segments Cycle 4 also had some issues this weekend...those jobs have been reset as well.
I have reset all of the above jobs, but we may need to look into recovering data for the lost days.
Chris
| Questar/Overthrust, and Other Harvesting Issues This Weekend |
Apologies to anyone I did not include on the mail I sent earlier today... As a recap, we had some issues this weekend with Questar, Overthrust, and one cycle each of Kinder Morgan and Transcolorado.
I reset all failed jobs this afternoon, and Overthrust appears to still be having problems as I write this...cycles 1 and 3 for Overthrust have failed again, due to web site errors.
As stated previously, we should look into attempting to recover missed data for the afforementioned pipes as soon as possible.
Also, a call to Overthrust might be in order, to see if they expect any more down time.
Thanks,

Guys, I am really glad that the report generations were working fine during the period when I was away, thanks to the efforts of Kim, Lindon and Angela.
But I am so sad that you don't have to have me around anymore for your reports ... Hereby I'd like to give you an update on a few issues we fixed/fixing.
a) Code has been added to show the Storage balance in the historical report instead of average b) Because OLAP cube interprets Null as 0 value, we saw monthly average to be 0 but actually should be Null, we've added code to detect Null value so that "NA" will be shown for monthly average rather than 0. c) Some pipeline (e.g.
PGE) broadcast forward (future) flow, so in the end of the month, the latest month in Time dimension of the cube does not indicate the correct one.
For instance, today is May.
31, the latest month in Time dimension is already June, which cause problems in historical report.
It has been fixed.
e) Central historical reports have been made fit to one page, and extra sheets on the interactive ones have been removed.
Matt: In order for the above items to take effect please verify with the executable Kim give you and let us know so that we can use it to replace the one currently used for report generation.
Another thing I talked with Matt was the Maximum Capacity column.
I understand that you'd like to remove that column for reports which do not report this value, however it involves big structure change to take one column away.
I am wondering if we can put "NA" or use some other wording such as "not reported" instead to save coding time and structure change.
I need your feedback on this.
One last item is that I checked the log for both daily and historical report and noticed that there are still quite some points their report setting are not quite right.
Please take a look at the attached, if it is a report you are responsible, make sure the settings are right so we don't see error in the log.
Thanks, I'll try to write short email next time.

A very successful energy trader parked his brand-new Mercedes in front of his office, ready to show it off to his colleagues.
As he got out, a truck passed too close and completely tore off the door on the driver's side.
The trader immediately grabbed his cell phone, dialed 911, and within minutes a policeman pulled up.
Before the officer had a chance to ask any questions, the energy trading icon started screaming hysterically.
His Mercedes, which he had just picked up the day before, was now completely ruined and would never be the same, no matter what the body shop did to it.
When he finally wound down from his ranting and raving, the officer shook his head in disgust and disbelief.
"I can't believe how materialistic you energy traders are," he said.
"You are so focused on your possessions that you don't notice anything else."
"How can you say such a thing?"
asked the trader.
The cop replied, "Don't you know that your left arm is missing from the elbow down?
It must have been torn off when the truck hit you."
"My God!"
screamed the master trader.
"Where's my Rolex?"

It appears that the wrong service was stopped last night...a request to stop/restart the real-time weather service also seems to have resulted in the stopping of the Jaguar harvester.
This caused no scrape jobs to run last night.
This morning the service has been restarted, and data has been recovered.
This should be examined closely, as there is the possibility that information is the same for cycles 1 and 2 of certain pipes (this may or may not be an issue...if it is, please advise us on what should be done).
Thanks,

Hey Mat - I haven't heard from you since we played phone tag about a month ago.
Wanted to let you know that I have a trip coming up next week and I'll be passing through IAH Wednesday night around 9:00.
Right now my layover is for only 50 minutes but I may be able to catch an earlier connection out of Denver if you're going to be around that night.
If you're around I'll call your cell on Wednesday as I'm leaving Denver & let you know if I catch the earlier connection and maybe you can meet me at the airport for a drink.
Anyway, let me know what your plans are.
Other than being totally swamped here at work things are good.
Matt & I see each other about once a month and we're going to Alaska for two weeks at the beginning of August.
Let me know how things are with you.

(No, Massimo, I'm not going to do 27 shots!)
Not sure what the plan is after Little Woodrows, but we'll go from there.
Feel free to invite anyone else I may have left off the list.
Hope to see you then!

View your SAP Inbox directly in Outlook!
Introducing the SAP Office Connector!
The SAP Office Connector is a piece of software that seamlessly displays your SAP Office folders as Outlook folders.
You already have the SAP Office Connector if you have the new SAPGUI 4.6D installed.
If you are an SAP user, there are several reasons why you might receive an SAP Office message: ?
You are the agent for an SAP workflow item ?
An error has occurred for which you are the person responsible ?
Someone (or some process) just sent you SAP mail You can launch attached links to SAP transactions directly from Outlook, including workflow tasks!
Use of the SAP Office Connector is optional.
If you use SAP only to enter your timesheet information, you probably won't get much mail in your SAP Inbox - and so probably won't benefit from using this product.
In most cases, it will make sense to use the SAP Office Connector to view your SAP notifications INSTEAD of forwarding them out of SAP to your Enron Internet mail address.
If you have configured your SAP Office to forward your mail, you should delete the forwarding when you enable the MAPI Connector.
See the attached document for more details on forwarding.
NOTE: there are several SAP systems, including Apollo Production (FI) and HR Production.
You (may) have a separate set of SAP Office folders in each system.
Repeat the setup steps in the attachment for EACH SAP system you want to be displayed as folders in Outlook.

Hey Mat, I would like to talk with you some more about some of the things we talked about the other day on the phone.
I hope that you didn't think that I was calling you all this time because there was a problem.

I would love to keep in touch with you and chat.
I know things are hard because you are far away ( and I am far away from you!

Dear West, We talked briefly on Monday about our commitment to a full work day at Enron.
If you are in the office, then please be prepared to contribute to the group for a full day.
Our schedule now calls for critical communication in the afternoons.
We need to know that each employee will be here every day to create the consistency needed to outperform the rest of the market.
We want to remain as flexible as possible with all traders when it comes to an emergency, but remember that you have a commitment to Enron to contribute a full work day.
Please organize your vacation on the west desk calendar with Ina and coordinate any early afternoon departures with Ina and myself.
Also, prepare to have your markets covered when you leave the office early.
Sincerely,
| Work Hours |

Lots of complaints.
People were complaining that it restricted access to the system.
Eliminating point specific calculation.
Open system to Max Oper.
Limits or Contractual Limits.
Will continue to operate Wheeler Ridge under Aug 1 procedures.
No changes to Wheeler Ridge.
Due to the need to maintain operational control, an OFO will be declared when scheduled volumes are greater than the max operating capacity on any cycle.
Replace windows with operational maximum volumes.
If CPUC approves comprehensive settlement, will post 5 days of information to anticipate OFO's Now customers will elect which point they will back off instead of using windows.
Scheduling Changes-Nov 1 Gas Select is being rebuilt and will be an internet system in mid-2002 .
No direct dial-up.
Rollover noms-noms will be copied from cycle to cycle Copy confirmed noms All noms will be rolled over-will not be at discretion of 3rd party.
However, can still make changes.
Can still upload new files.
2 Hour Notice Socal will provide 2 hour notice on Gas Select of OFO.
Other methods include leaving message on Socal Hotline (213-244-3900) and list of e-mail messages that can go directly to pagers.
Gas Select is official notification.
Courtesy notification is hot line and e mail.
Gas Select is a subscriber- based system mandated by CPUC and must get regulatory change to make free.
OFO's are going to be system wide and not customer specific.
OFO's can be declared intraday.
Once OFO declared, it will be kept for entire day.
Concerned that if call off, will have to put back on.
Don't want to go back and forth.
This decision may be reconsidered once they see how it works.
Many times Socal see an increase of 200 mmcf/day between Cycle 3 and 4 so they are concerned.
Scheduled vs. Capacity-Declare OFO Nominations may not exceed 110% of expected usage.
Expected Usage is defined as usage for the same day for the prior week.
Can revise expected usage.
No interruptible storage injections allowed during OFO.
Use Elapsed Pro-Rata Rules Expected Usage-cut nominations to 110% of expected usage so will use same day of the prior week as proxy.
Generators need to revise expected usage.
Acceptance of changes are at the discretion of SoCal.
Flow Day Diversions don't go into effect until after Cycle 4.
Gas Control will determine if flow day diversion will be allowed.
If call OFO after cycle 3 or 4 and have interruptible storage injections, such storage will be prorationed back under the elapsed prorata rules.
Many people were concerned that interruptible storage will be severely compromised.
If OFO called , Interruptible Storage could be cut under the elapsed prorata rules as follows: Cycle 1 Nom 1000 ; 0 cut Cycle 2 Nom 1000; 666 cut Cylce 3 Nom 1000; 500 cut Windows will only be implemented during cycle 4 if OFO callled after cycle 3 and no improvement is realized.
Will allocate prorata.
Will use latest scheduled volume and will pro rate by receipt point.
In other words, if OFO declared during Cycle 1 and no relief after 3 cycles, Socal will window Cycle 4 and prorata cut.
Parties will determine what gets cut on all the other cycles.
For penalty purposes, actual burn from 12 o'clock to 12 o'clock will be used to calculate penalties or MAXDQ if not metered.
For OFO, assume supply delivereis day before and burn is the same day for the prior week.
Declare OFO on prior day's scheduled volume.
For an evening declaration-will use most recent available scheduled volumes.
For example: Flow Day 10/4 10/3 Scheduled Volumes Cycle 1 Cycle 2 Cycle 2 Intraday 1 Cycle 3 evening cyle 2 on 10/4 Cycle 4 Intraday 1 on 10/4 In other words, will look at evening cycle 2 scheduled volumes on the 3rd for declaring OFO on cycle 1 for the 4th.
; look at intra day 1 for the 3rd in declaring OFO for cycle 2 on the 4th; look at evening cycle 2 on 10/4 in declaraing OFO for Cycle 3 on the 4th; look at intraday 1 on the 4th in declaraing OFO on cycle 4 for the 4th.
Winter Balancing Rules Effective Nov 1-March 31 No changes.
All customers must comply.
Minimum delivery requirements 50% of daily usage over 5 day period; (Nov 1-5;6-10;) 70% of daily usage depending on storage level 70% daily usage implemented when storage levels equal 20 bcf above peak day min 90% of daily usage depending on storage level 90% rule implemented when storage levels equal 5 bcf plus peak day min.
Look at storage graph on Gas Select.
Posted 24 hours in advance if the minimum daily is changed.
If go to 70% , current 5 day cycle must end completely, before new % goes into effect.
Must increase storage inventory by 1 bcf above the 70% before going back to 50% rule.
Once 90% rule implemented, will return to 70% as soon as operationally feasible, Contracted Marketer's customer usage and delivereies are aggregated in one balancing account.
Core Aggregation-subject to 50% daily throughout entire winter period based on DCQ.
Core-50% of daily throughput for the enitre period,; (Patrick Brown group) Not subject to 70% and 90% rules.
2 types of gas count toward daily obligation- firm storage withdrawal and flowing gas.
As-available storage and imbalance trading do not count.
Burn=measured daily usage thru electronic measurement, Min DQ-used if customer does not have electronic measurement.
Customer assessed GIMB charge if total deliveries is less than 50% of total burn over 5 day period.
Customer purchases gas at daily balancing stand-by rate under G IMB Rate Schedule which is 150% of highest Socal Border price per NGI Gas Daily plus franchise fees and other charges.
Rate is posted at end of every month.
OFO can be declared during undernom season (winter season)

Hey Matteo, How's everything goin?
SO, I am so pumped about Utah.
I talked with my friend Jeff and he told me so much more about Park City, skiing there, where to go, the night life and the Sundance Festival.
He is going to write up a bunch of stuff for us and would like to meet up with us for a day or two as well.
We are planning on Martin Luther King weekend still??
I was thinking that maybe Brad and Heather might like to go as well.
Sent out the invite to a few people, will know more by the end of the week.
I say let's get the tickets and start planning.
Once I get the specifics on ski places from Jeff, I'll have a better idea of where would be the best place to crash.
By then maybe we will have a few more people commited and can make a decision.
Sweet!
Also, last night I brought up the idea (to Duncan) of going to Australia in February for a few weeks.
I know that you and Jeff have been thinking about it.
Just thought I would let you know that we are too.
So, how did your weekend go with the chica????

Hey Mat!
How have you been?
I have been trying to call you to chat, but can't get through to you.
Is everything ok?
I wasn't sure exactly when you were going to Portland, so maybe you are there now.
If you don't want me to call, please let me know.
I hope all is well.
Please write me and let me know what's up!

Though many of you already know, today is my last day here at Enron.
I am leaving to pursue my culinary interests full time and have accepted a baking/pastry apprenticeship with the Deer Valley Resort in Park City, Utah for the winter season.
I am happy to have spent the past 3 years working with such a fun and intelligent group of people.
I sincerely wish all of you the best in your future endeavors.
Please don't hesitate to look me up if you are in the Park City area, vacation planning, or considering some radical career change like this...ha.
It would be great to see old friends up there.

As per our discussion, I have done the following to fix the issues with Questar data: - dumped data from 02/04/2001 -> present, for all cycles - fixed the transform component to pull the proper column for utilized capacity and also to assign the correct effective date for each value - re-transformed and re-loaded ALL cycle 5 data (from the *htm files we have) Now, in loading the 86 or so days back into the DB, approx.
3603 PRIMARY KEY violations were logged...this means that they are duplicating point data within the same day, same cycle, etc.
If this data could be examined more closely in the reports that are subsequently generated, we can make sure that things are truly copacetic from our side (a "surface" scan of the *.htm files shows that they are indeed duplicating points, usually with different names...the utilized capacity associated with these points is the same though, so this doesn't appear to be a big issue, except for the fact that we will continue to have primary key violations being logged).
As always, any questions, just ask.
Thanks,

I have added a cycle '0' to all pipelines in the database...per our discussion, this cycle will be used only in an 'emergency' type situation (we didn't scrape any data (for whatever reason), and there is some available that can be manually entered).
By being '0', this also shouldn't affect the logic of Yan's reports, since he pulls the latest cycle available (read the largest number; if ANY scraped data gets in the DB, it will be returned in place of any cycle 0 data).
Any questions, feel free to ask... Chris

Hello...since I was working to reload some cycle 13 data for Northwest today, it seemed like a good a time as any to take care of these few foreign key violations as well.
These 4 points are reported on the Northwest site, but do not appear in our PIPELINE_LOCATION table as of yet (hence the foreign key violation): 458 OWYHEE COMPRESSOR 611 NORTH DOUGLAS RECEIPT (2001) 608 NOVELTY HILL M/S 612 FOUNDATION CREEK PLANT (2001) If we can get these matched to their IHS DRN counterparts, that would be great.
If not, we can make up the IHS number as we have in the past.
Thanks,

Guys, Some of you have noticed that on many of today's reports, we are able to see flow value for a meter for 5/1/2000, but the MDT column showed "na" on the daily report.
"na" is also shown on the historical report for the average of May.
It is very easy to get confused (at least I was in the beginnieng, even though I wrote the program myself) when you see things like this, you may ask why isn't the average the value shown for today since there is only one day's data?
The answer is that they are from different cycles.
Coding used the business logic that grab the flow value from the latest successful cycle, while always use the last cycle when deal with average.
At the time of report generation if the last cycle is not available, this will happen.
Fortunately this only happens on the first day of each month.
Please explain this to those who may raise this question when they see this "discrepancy".

Ina, I need to be able to pull price curves from the Oracle database.
Can you please see to it that I get the proper access tomorrow.
This is required for a special project for Phillip, so it is high priority.
Let me know if you need any further clarification of what I need, but I think IT should know.
Thank you.
| Computer access |
Phillip, I'm building a sheet for each person specifically for financial hedging.
Each day it will pull in the previous days position and previous day price curve to calculate the mark to market.
Then that day's transactions can be entered to calculate the P & L of transactions which close out previous positions, as well as to calculate the new open positions.
Initially, I thought that daily P&L could be calculated by simply adjusting the P&L whenever a transaction was made by the difference between the bid/offer of the closed out position by the offer/bid of the new position (of course time value and storage costs would be included).
However, this only works if the person is 100% hedged, meaning they do not have any open positions which require marking.
As the seller of synthetic storage utilizing 100% hedging, I should be able to do this, except for the fact that I will have size limits on transactions that will probably leave me open here and there.
The main question I have is simply, "Should I be calculating the P&L for each person's storage book for open and closed positions?"
Then beyond that, if we do calculate the P&L's from the buyer side, it seems that if their storage is not hedged, I will have to develop the market value of the storage in the ground and the remaining capacity to mark to market it.
So, I guess I could apply the model for that purpose.
Does this make sense to you?
Any comments are appreciated.
Thanks.

Marlo, As discussed, I am forwarding to you two spreadsheets with the requested information.
Each spreadsheets are identified by month.
Within each spreadsheet are a number of tabs.
Based on the customers you mentioned on the phone, I believe you need only to use the "OCCMarkets" tab.
Customers are along the horizontal with dates on the vertical.
For each customer, several columns are used to identify the gas supplied to the customer from each location.
Please call if you have any further questions.

Hey buddy, what's happening?
Not much up here these days.
I took last week off and Phillip is out this week, so I don't have much to do.
I'm pretty much done scheduling and I start next week in Gaskill's group.
Anyway, you were going to send me the names of those guys in London we talked to about the synthetic storage, and if you did, I lost them.
Regardless, any chance of digging them up for me?
I may want to talk to them about their bid process.
I think Phillip is ok with going ahead with the idea, but I think I need to keep the ball rolling here with or without him.
