Ownership in the JV will be split 60% Texaco & 40% Enron. Bridgeline Gas Marketing LLC will be the entity that will be trading on the pipelines under the new J.V. Contracts and Service Agreements are in the process of being drafted. Enron will be providing the Trading and Commercial Operations systems to support this J.V. Texaco will be providing the Scada system. I understand that Accounting is still being discussed. The Trading, Risk, & perhaps Scheduling personnel for this JV will be initially relocated to the 21st floor of the Enron Building and will eventually move to probably the 3 Allen Center once a more permanent spot can be built out. Trading for the new JV will start in early February for March Production. To Do's: Accounting: I've asked Jim Coffey to set up two work orders to capture IT transition and ongoing costs. Texaco is also trying to set up a meeting next Monday to step through the accounting flow so that we are all on the same page and make sure there is nothing that will fall through the cracks. PC's: Jim Fussell is in the process of ordering the PC's for this JV at my request. I will need the work order numbers to track these costs. Networks: I'm coordinating with Arshak and his team to make sure that the voice and data networks are in place for EB 21. Once the more permanent spot is nailed down we will then need to do the same for that location. A combination of Trader phones, Lucent Phones, Stenfons and Amtels have been requested. Location on EB 21: I'm waiting on a call back from Chris Larson from facilities to find out what locations on 21 will be assigned to the new JV. Currently half of the floor is empty but they are set up with high wall cubes. There may need to be some build out for the traders to low wall cubes. We can't set up the PC's, phones, Amtels, etc until this is done. Data Conversion: I have requested from Texaco the contract, deal and meter/facility information we will need to set up in our systems to begin trading for March production. It may be possible to get an electronic dump of this data from Texaco if Enron defines the data fields that we will need. We also need to set up the trading entities and portfolios. I will also need to know who will need to have access to this data so that we can set up the system security. I have received the names of the traders but I don't know who else will need access. Interface between Enron's Unify POP's application and Bridgeline's Scada application: I've asked Dave Nommensen from Enron to get with Carryn Wright from Texaco to begin the process of defining the interface between the two applications and estimate the time to build and implement the interface. There will also need to be a transition plan put in place where LRC's RTU's/EFM is redirected to the Bridgeline Scada system. In the meantime there will be two Scada systems and perhaps two Gas Controls until everything is merged into one. This will probably mean some manual interfaces between POP's and Scada for Confirmed noms and EFM volumes until the transition is complete. Scada Communications: Currently the LRC RTU's/EFM communicate back to Enron's Scada system via leased lines. Bridgelines RTU's communicate back to them via a microwave system. The new JV could save on communications costs by switching LRC's RTU communication to the microwave. Perhaps this is best done as a part of the Scada transition. Accounting data needed by Texaco for Royalty purposes: This data needs to be better defined. I will follow up with John LeDoux from Texaco to get this process started. Hourly volumes: Bridgeline currently has one utility customer who may be billed on an hourly basis depending on the amount of swing. We need to talk through this process to see what enhancements may be needed. At least initially there will need to be some manual processes in place to support the billing for this one customer. Please let me know if you'd like to meet on any of these topics. I can have my assistant set up the meeting if needed. In the mean time I can be reached at 713-853-6858. Thanks! - Tommy
