I have been meaning to let both of you know the status on this matter. There
have been no more calls for additional meetings w/ McConnell. The last cargo delivered went in with no problems. We had some doubts that (i) the tanks would hold all of the barrels because the plant had not been running as scheduled, and (ii) that the testing would turn out to be on spec. As it turned out, the cargo tested on spec, and was discharged without any demurrage. ECTRS even made some money on the deal (not a lot, but some). And the attached is the latest on our efforts to get the specs issues addressed by Siemens. Regards, Janice EB3861 Assistant General Counsel, Enron North America Corp. 713-853-1794 (Fax: 713-646-4842) ----- Forwarded by Janice R Moore/HOU/ECT on 11/14/2000 05:38 PM ----- Michael L Brown@ENRON 11/14/2000 05:32 PM To: Robert C Williams/ENRON_DEVELOPMENT@ENRON_DEVELOPMENT cc: John L Nowlan/HOU/ECT@ECT, Janice R Moore/HOU/ECT@ECT, David A Terlip/Corp/Enron@Enron Subject: Siemens Fuel Specs Bob, See note below fyi. Regards, Mike ---------------------- Forwarded by Michael L Brown/Corp/Enron on 11/14/2000 05:35 PM --------------------------- Michael L Brown 11/14/2000 05:27 PM To: jonrusse@skyinet.net cc: RBTantoco@firstgas.com.ph, Victor Santos/ENRON_DEVELOPMENT@ENRON_DEVELOPMENT Subject: Siemens Fuel Specs Jon, Based on a telecon this morning with Victor Santos, it is my understanding that you are quite upset because we have contacted Siemens directly to discuss certain liquid fuels specifications. If correct, I find this reaction to be puzzling as you and I had previously discussed the fact that I would attempt to establish a dialogue with Siemens for the purpose of expediting their positive response to the ECTRS request of September 12, 2000. We also understand that you believe the person identified for us to contact at Siemens may have a negative bias towards FGPC and that our direct approach is likely to be counterproductive. Although we have spoken with the Siemens-Westinghouse representative in Houston, we have yet to establish a dialogue with the Siemens person referred to above. More than two months have passed since our original written (urgent) request to FGPC and the status of this request within the Siemens organization is unclear. As of today we remain uncertain about whether the appropriate contacts within Siemens beyond Mr Kirschen have been made by anyone. Our impression from talking with the Siemens-Westinghouse Houston representative is that the ECTRS request has not yet been seen by anyone in Germany. Our objective is to resolve the ECTRS request in a positive fashion and as soon as practicable. In keeping with this objective, we are willing to be flexible in our approach and would welcome your ideas. Please bear in mind that an affirmative response from Siemens would also have a beneficial effect for FGPC because ECTRS could then deliver from a wider pool of high quality condensates. Perhaps we could have a conference call between you, Ricky, David and me at noon Thursday Manila time? The primary purpose of this conference call would be to clarify your opinion on how best to approach Siemens and to discuss any other areas that may be of concern to FGPC. Regards, Mike
