Recall that we've been unable to accept quantities of gas from Burlington because of the high temperatures at the interconnect in recent years.
dev41
I've recommended that we seek amendment of the contract as soon as possible to reflect what we CAN do.
dev41
The proposed amendment Lorraine is referring to, which Burlington rejected, modified our obligation to provide firm compression sufficient to accept Burlington Resources - Val Verde Plant - Michelle and I had a follow-up conversation with BR Thursday.
dev41
I faxed the proposed amendment to BR Monday and we hadn't heard from them yet.
dev41
They claim approximately $135,000/month in lost revenues because we are holding their production down.
dev41
Michele and Darrell will work to pull together the data on exactly which days we have not been able to take BR's gas.
dev41
I mentioned to BR that we were putting this info together, but they claim since they were told to back off to 180,000 - 190,000 MMBtu from about mid-June through July, our data would not accurately reflect BR's inability to schedule in excess of 180/190.
dev41
They will not accept our wording in the interconnect amendment, specifically "best efforts" and "subject to operating conditions on TW", so we will need to revise this further.
dev41
We offered alternate receipt point flexibility at Ignacio and alternate delivery point flexibility at El Paso Blanco on their Jackrabbit contract but they do not think this is sufficient to agree to amend the interconnect agreement.
dev41
They have suggested we consider giving them a deeper discount on their San Juan - Waha contract (80,000/d, $0.14, term 11/30/06).
dev41
The ball is in our court.
dev41
John, I think that sounds fine.
dev41
I really have no other comments on the org chart or job descriptions.
dev41
Thanks so much for your help!
dev41
First of all, I'm delighted you want to stay and would not have a problem with Deron moving in. However, in return I would ask for increased rent of $650, to take into account the improvements you want and additional water use and wear & tear.
dev41
After you read this let me know whether you think this is reasonable.
dev41
I'll try to answer all your questions: Q. I believe you had mentioned some termite issues and I wanted to make sure that we would not be doing anything to cause the floor to collapse as we would be removing light items for heavier items.
dev41
A. I really do not think it is a problem.
dev41
In addition to the oak floor, there is a subfloor, so heavier items should be fine.
dev41
I'd draw the line at a waterbed, though!
dev41
Q. The stove is a bit problematic...
dev41
A. No problem to look into this.
dev41
I'm sure it can be repaired.
dev41
I will give the appliance folks a call.
dev41
Q. Do you know if the garage apt.
dev41
would support a 2nd line being installed?
dev41
A. I'm sure it will...go ahead and do it; if the phone company runs into any internal wiring problems let me know and I'll call my phone wiring dude.
dev41
Q. Do you know if the washer/dryer connections in the garage part work for sure?
dev41
A. I have a bad feeling about those connections!
dev41
I'll get them up and running, and can get someone to haul the old washer off.
dev41
Q. I am guessing that they would need to be gas, not electric?
dev41
A. I would strongly recommend a gas dryer because it is so much more economical.
dev41
Plus you would not believe how much faster you can get jeans and towels dry than with electric!
dev41
If I have to get a new connection installed it will be gas if possible.
dev41
Q. At one point, you had mentioned doing something with the kitchen floor as the linoleum has seen better days...
dev41
Would it be possible to look into this?
dev41
A. I have always thought linoleum in a black & white checkerboard pattern would look really cute in there.
dev41
It's cheap to install and fairly easy except I'm leary of taking on the project myself because pulling up the old stuff is going to be a you-know-what.
dev41
I will call & ask my handyman, unless you and Deron are just dying to do it yourselves.
dev41
Q. Do you know if any paint is leftover?
dev41
A. The color I used on the trim was Antique White semigloss; there should be some left in the garage.
dev41
I'll check and if not I can pick up some for you at the paint store as I'll be going there this week or this weekend.
dev41
The only additional issue I have is parking -- Dianna is staying with me and helping w/rent for the next several months and I'd like her to be able to use that middle space.
dev41
I know it's a pain but either you or Deron would have to park on the street.
dev41
The other option is to get one of the back garage doors working so there is access to the garage from the alley.
dev41
If I did this do you think y'all would use it, or is that too impractical?
dev41
As for timing with the oven, W/D connections and kitchen floor, I'm taking the first full week of Sept. off and it would be easiest for me to get everything done then if that's okay with y'all.
dev41
Call if you have further questions!
dev41
The counterparty for that deal is Enron Omaha and the contact is Larry Paulou.
dev41
I am working on clearing up any other deals booked with the counterparty as New this morning.
dev41
Let me know if there is anything else you need.
dev41
Your own personal palm pilot hard at work.
dev41
As promised, here's a list of UT's games this season...color coded for your convenience of course.
dev41
Sep 23 Houston, TBA Sep 30 Oklahoma St., TBA huge game...the two teams meet halfway at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas) Oct 14 at Colorado, TBA Oct 21 Missouri, TBA Oct 28 Baylor, TBA Nov 4 at Texas Tech, 2:00pm Nov 11 at Kansas, TBA Nov 24 Texas A&M, 3:30pm (Thanksgiving Weekend) All Times Eastern * Home games are in burnt orange...what else?
dev41
I agree that the proposed facilities could be constructed under the prior notice provisions of TW's blanket certificate if the cost and environmental requirements are met.
dev41
The facilities appear to meet the criteria for an "eligible facility" under section 157.202(b)(2)(i): they are necessary to provide service to Big Sandy within existing mainline certificate levels, and according to my research the facilities are similar to those that the Commission routinely has found to be eligible under a blanket certificate.
dev41
The prior notice project cost limit for year 2000 is $20,200,000.
dev41
(Sec. 157.208).
dev41
If the project is not within this cost limit we will need to seek a 7(c) certificate.
dev41
I've researched the incremental rate question and here's what I've been able to find out: In the context of a 7(c) application, FERC generally requires use of existing Part 284 rates.
dev41
This was the case when TW applied for a certificate to construct the San Juan lateral.
dev41
TW requested a separate zone rate for the lateral in that proceeding but FERC stated that a section 7 proceeding was not the appropriate forum.
dev41
The Commission stated, however, that it would be willing to entertain an abbreviated Section 4 filing by TW to revise its Part 284 rates to inclue zone rates for the lateral.
dev41
So TW made a Section 4 filing and got zone rates approved based on the cost of service for the lateral.
dev41
Whether we construct the Big Sandy lateral under the blanket certificate or not, it appears that we would have to file a limited section 4 if we want to implement rates for the lateral that are different from the West of Thoreau rates.
dev41
As for whether an open season would be required, I assume it would not be if Caithness is going to fully subscribe the capacity on the lateral.
dev41
However, if other shippers are interested and we want to get the best rate we'll probably want to have an open season.
dev41
In any event, in the context of a 7(c) application FERC is going to put us at risk for recovery of costs, so it would be to our advantage to sell 100% of the new capacity.
dev41
At this point I am uncertain whether we even want or need different rates for the Big Sandy lateral...ultimately it will depend on the cost of the project and what rates would make it economic for TW to proceed.
dev41
I hope this helps...if there are further questions or if any of this does not sound right to you let me know.
dev41
Same dude...and he is good.
dev41
We're going to Steak Night tonight at Little Woodrows which of course makes me happy.
dev41
Also, I just sent him a list of all the UT games so he can start planning to attend.
dev41
As soon as he decides on a first game I'm going to have to start preparing him to meet the family and others.
dev41
That's a lot of prep work.
dev41
Lesli, I am indeed the right person and will be happy to rebook the deals below.
dev41
Just so you know, there are going to be several more deals that will need to be rebooked as soon as the CP's are set up.
dev41
If you could just let me know when the new CP's are set-up I will rebook the other deals as well.
dev41
Thanks, Susan
dev41
Fly me to the moon.
dev41
Somehow the "one-part rate" glossary item fell off of TW's list so I've revised it again.
dev41
Sorry I couldn't make it for cake last night.
dev41
I had to work late last night...Big Shock!!!
dev41
Anyway, hope it was fun and that you're having a great week.
dev41
Mine has been pretty busy work wise.
dev41
I'm sure you're curious about Mr. Noble.
dev41
All I can say right now is that, while I definitely still like him (we had a great time Sunday), I am some what annoyed with him right now...he's been very wishy-washy the first half of this week.
dev41
I'm not real sure what I'm going to do about it, but I'm sure I'll think of something.
dev41
I owe Michele a call because she has a couple of questions.
dev41
Will do after I finish options draft.
dev41
Janet, please meet with Denise (tomorrow if possible) to: - explain filing system - hand off filing projects you are working on (anytime between tomorrow and next week is fine) - explain how you do service lists for FERC filings.
dev41
Also, one of you will need to contact the appropriate person to get Denise access to my Lotus Organizer.
dev41
Don't know how to notify the mailroom people to deliver my mail to Denise's station but see if you can do this also.
dev41
I spoke with Mike, and Emily is going to handle moving the phones.
dev41
Merci beaucoup!
dev41
Denise, here are a few things off the top of my head.
dev41
1.
dev41
I mostly work for the Transwestern Commercial Group, which is the following cast of characters: Steve Harris Kevin Hyatt Lindy Donoho Jeff Fawcett Christine Stokes Michelle Lokay Lorraine Lindberg When I am not on 47, I sit near their work area on 41 (and forward my phone to x34516).
dev41
These are the people I'm most likely to have you organize meetings with, distribute things to, etc. Their assistant is Audrey Robertson.
dev41
I lost our most recent phone list but please get one from her 2.
