Subscriber note: Platts to add, end price locations for North American gas

Following market consultations, Platts will add two new locations -- Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line, Leidy Line receipts and Tennessee Gas Pipeline, Zone 4-200 leg -- to its daily and monthly bidweek North American spot-price surveys. The two new daily postings would begin effective trade date Thursday, March 28, for flow date April 1. The new monthly bidweek postings would begin effective with late-March bidweek trading (March 22, 25, 26, 27, 28) for April delivery. The Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line, Leidy Line receipts (daily and monthly surveys) is described as "deliveries to Transco's Leidy Line downstream of the Leidy/Wharton storage facilities in Clinton and Potter counties, Pennsylvania, to Transco's Station 505 in Hunterdon County, New Jersey." "This pricing location does not include transactions at the storage-related interconnects with Dominion Transmission, National Fuel Gas Supply, UGI Storage or Tennessee Gas Pipeline." The Tennessee Gas Pipeline, Zone 4-200 leg (daily and monthly survey) is described as "deliveries into Tennessee at all points of receipt on the 200 line in the states of Pennsylvania and Ohio, as well as transactions at Tennessee's Station 219 pool. This location does not include deliveries from Tennessee to other systems in zone 4." On August 27, six months from this notice, Platts will discontinue publication of its Tennessee Gas Pipeline, Zone 4-Ohio location (daily and monthly survey), which includes only deliveries to Tennessee from the Rockies Express Pipeline in Guernsey and Muskingum counties in East Ohio. Publication will be discontinued because of a prolonged lack of trading at the location. Since the REX/Tennessee interconnect is in Tennessee's zone 4, any transactions delivered to Tennessee there would be included in the new Tennessee Gas Pipeline, Zone 4-200 leg location. Both new daily postings would appear in the "Appalachia" section of Gas Daily's "Daily price survey" table and the "Northeast" section of Energy Trader's "Daily spot gas prices" table. The new monthly bidweek postings would appear in the "Prices of Spot Gas Delivered to Pipelines" tables in Inside FERC's Gas Market Report, Energy Trader and Gas Daily Price Guide and the "Bidweek Physical Basis Prices Delivered to Pipelines" table in Inside FERC's Gas Market Report and Gas Daily Price Guide. The prices also would be published on Natural Gas Alert and in Platts Market Data. For questions, please contact Kelley Doolan at kelley_doolan@platts.com, with a cc to pricegroup@platts.com.
