A preliminary model has been developed based on the limited information Doug, Kevin, and I discussed yesterday. A finished product won't be complete until such time as elevations are verified along the new pipeline route. Topogaphical maps are required to complete this portion of the study. Once this is completed and studies run, that product will be reviewed by the Planning team and System Optimization team. Studies will be based on the results of the open season and the volumes anticipated by Marketing. Expansion facilities will be adjusted based on those results and finished porduct produced.

We have a procedure in place with Planning that any Level B estimates that are major expansion projects, such as this, require at least one month to complete, after we have a defined scope of work from Planning.

Kevin, we realize your goals, but for us to do a proper Level B with all of our due diligences, it won't be ready before Sept. 29th, at the earliest. Especially if the hydraulics(which are part of the scope) aren't done until after Sept. 12th from Planning. Thanks, Norm

Kevin
I'll need to fly the routes and assess the terrain conditions. I plan to do this on Sept 11&12
Ron will need to run the hydraulics on the various options.
We both then need to agree on the most favourable option and do the Level B estimate based on the preferred route and the required line sizes and compression requirements

I think the earliest we can have the Level B complete is Sept 21

Guys, we'll need to get the Level 'B' cost estimates put together as soon as possible in order to send out binding contracts to customers. I can't comfortably send out binding contracts with transportation rates still dependent upon a deeper project cost analysis. Please let me know at your earliest convenience what your timing is for the Level B.

thanks

Ron/Kevin

Based on scaling the topo maps I have, the following are the lengths for each of the segments we discussed.

Transwestern Mainline- 36" Loop

Compressor Station #2 to El Paso Take Off Point - 33.6 miles or say 34 miles

New Lateral- 30" or 36"

A Compressor Station #2 to Phoenix Storage Cavern along I- 17 Highway route - 144 miles + 5% contingency or say 151 miles


B El Paso Take Off Point to Phoenix Storage Cavern along El Paso Pipeline route - 120 miles + 5% contingency or say 126 miles

In summary, the New Lateral using the El Paso route is 25 miles shorter in what appears to be easier terrain, but will require the 34 mile extension on the Transwestern loop.


I will flly both routes on Sept 11 and examine any other options from the air.
I will drive as much of the routes as I can on Sept 12 and evaluate on the ground the soil/rock conditions.
After this asessement, we can zero in on the most cost effective option and route to pursue.
Call me if you have any questions
