Marketing requested Planning to review any and all possibilities to achieve=
small volume expansions through the San Juan lateral. Several facility sc= enarios were investigated by Planning which are in the attached Excel sprea= dsheet. Most if not all are too costly to justify installing. However, th= ere is another option that is not listed in the attached that was a late en= try. Discussions with Engineering have determined that by cooling the inle= t air to the turbines would increase the available horsepower. That in tur= n would increase the station's overall throughput. Preliminary studies ind= icate that approximately 10 MMcf/d of additional throughput could be realiz= ed if inlet air cooling is installed. The + 30% estimate for two units wou= ld be $600,000. BIG bargain compared to the options in the attached file. = The facility installation is not a major job but the FERC approval to util= ize additional horsepower could take 6 - 9 months. Other considerations to= review would be the air quality permit for the increase in horsepower, and= potential environmental clearances to do construction. Let me know what y= ou think about this suggestion. Please feel free to call. Ron Matthews
