SUBSCRIBER NOTE: Platts proposes new Chicago natural gas indexes

Following initial market research, Platts is proposing the addition of the following new indexes in its daily and monthly natural gas surveys.

The new locations would appear as follows:

Chicago-Nicor (daily and monthly survey) Deliveries into the Nicor Gas system in the Chicago metropolitan area. Transactions are also included in the Chicago city-gates index.

Chicago-NIPSCO (daily and monthly survey) Deliveries into Northern Indiana Public Service system in the Chicago metropolitan area. Transactions are also included in the Chicago city-gates index.

Chicago-Peoples (daily and monthly survey) Deliveries into the Peoples Gas Light & Coke system in the Chicago metropolitan area. Transactions are also included in the Chicago city-gates index.

The Chicago city-gates index will not be altered based on the new Chicago sublistings.

The new indexes would appear beginning with the Gas Daily price table showing trade date Friday, October 30, 2015, for flow dates Sunday, November 1, and Monday, November 2, and for the November 2015 monthly Bidweek survey with trade dates October 26-30.

The proposed listings would appear in the "Upper Midwest" section of the "Market Center Spot Gas Prices" table in Inside FERC's Gas Market Report, Energy Trader and Gas Daily Price Guide, in the "Citygates" section of Gas Daily's "Daily Price Survey" table, and Platts Natural Gas Alert pages 434, 496 and 515.

Additionally, they would appear in the "Upper Midwest" section of the "Market Center Bidweek Physical Basis Prices" table in Inside FERC's Gas Market Report.
