First, it's always a great pleasure to see you two in person, even with a
brace. Second, I apologize for all the time you folks are having to spend on
this kind of stuff. Second, this is a great answer, though, as we discussed,
I think it provides dear Norm with too much information. Susan's the boss,
but if deleted everything after "Our west flow mainline capacity is 1.09
Bcf/d," that (for what it's worth) would seem dandy to me. Finally, I've
been informed that it doesn't look like drinks will work tonite; but what
about lunch tomorrow?

Best,
Jeff

Hey gang,
I've taken the first stab at answering Norm's inquiry... give me your
thoughts. Also, Susan, what is the protocol for a case being litigated at
the CPUC for inquiries like this? Should we put a disclaimer that the
information we might provide is protected under Rule 51 or other "settlement
discussions only" protection?



Mr. Pedersen,
First, I'd like to clear-up the nomenclature being used here. As you know,
currently SoCalGas doesn't assign "primary rights" to deliveries off of any
interconnecting pipeline. The establishment of tradeable rights for
intrastate capacity is among the issues currently under consideration in the
CPUC proceeding. However, if what you are asking about is what has been the
historical or otherwise available receipt capacity for Transwestern
deliveries at North Needles, then let me offer the following.

Transwestern has always operated on the premise that SoCalGas could
physically accept up to a maximum of 750 MMcf/d at its North Needles receipt
point. Consequently, Transwestern has sold firm transportation to its
interstate customers for west flow deliveries to North Needles not to exceed
the 750 MMcf/d limitation. Our west flow mainline capacity is 1.09 Bcf/d.
The 340 MMcf/d difference between the mainline capacity and the physical
capacity into SoCalGas at North Needles is used to provide firm service at
our other delivery points at or near the California border, including PG&E,
Mojave, Southwest Gas, Citizens Utilities, and in the near future, directly
connected electric generation plants.
