I want Platts, etc. to apologize and retract their story.
Jeff Eric Thode@ENRON 10/12/2000 01:00 PM To: Mike McConnell/HOU/ECT@ECT, Jeffrey A Shankman/HOU/ECT@ECT, John L Nowlan/HOU/ECT@ECT, Mark Palmer/Corp/Enron@ENRON cc: Subject: Euell Energy Issue I have fielded two calls regarding the Euell Energy issue. They are from Beth Evans at Platt's and Robert Givens at Bridge News. They have both spoken with Renard Euell and asked for our side of the story. Primary points made are as follows: 9/28 or 29 - Mr. Euell contacted Enron through an employee in another division of Enron - This contact was forwarded to John Nowlan through a second employee 9/29 - Nowlan contacted Mr. Euell and told him that if Euell receives part of the oil that Enron would talk to him about a possible deal - Euell said he felt he would win part (NOTE: This was said in response to Beth's comment that Euell claimed Enron contacted him with apparent inside knowledge that Euell was going to win part of the bid.) 10/3 or 4 - Euell called us regarding the SPR oil he won - We asked for the particulars of his bid and he stated them to us 10/4 - Enron received from Euell a copy of his letter to the DOE - The details were different than Euell had told us, but conversations continued 10/5 - Enron faxed a draft Novation Agreement to Euell. This was never executed. In fact, it has never left draft form. 10/5 thru 9 - Various conversations with Euell - He claimed to be in conversations with Nigeria, Shell, Mobil, BP, Equilon, Koch and Phillips 10/10 - Enron spoke with Euell around noon and suggested he take another deal that Euell claimed to have - Euell called Enron around 4:30 pm...Enron reiterated belief that Euell should take the bid he claimed to have - Interestingly, Euell was in Houston supposedly having meetings with various companies, but never requested a meeting with Enron, nor did he ever have a meeting with Enron Both reporters, prior to their conversation with me, are convinced the guy is a flake. And lay most of the blame for the SPR debacle on the back of the DOE. Palmer plans to contact John Fialka at Wall Street Journal later today. If you have any questions, call me at ext. 3-9053. Eric
