SUBSCRIBER NOTE: Platts to add, change gas price locations for North American gas

Following market consultation, Platts will add a Westcoast Energy, station 2, location to the monthly bidweek survey; rename the CenterPoint Energy Gas Transmission Co., East, listing in the daily and monthly bidweek surveys; modify the description for Tennessee Gas Pipeline Co., zone 6 delivered in the daily and monthly bidweek surveys; and add a Tennessee, zone 6 (300 leg) delivered, location for the daily survey. The renaming of CenterPoint Energy Gas Transmission Co. will become effective trade date Monday, November 25 for flow date Tuesday, November 26. The addition of Westcoast Energy, Station 2, to the monthly bidweek survey will become effective for bidweek trading in late November for December delivery; November bidweek trade dates are November 21, 22, 25, 26 and 27. The Westcoast station 2 location description for the monthly survey will be the same as existing description for the daily location:

"Westcoast, Station 2 (daily and monthly) Deliveries into Westcoast Energy at compressor station 2 in north-central British Columbia, where much of northern British Columbia and Alberta production is pooled for shipment south and east. The price is reported in Canadian dollars per gigajoule."

The new monthly location would appear in the "Rockies/Northwest" section of the "Market Center Spot Gas Prices" table in Inside FERC's Gas Market Report, Energy Trader and Gas Daily Price Guide. The prices also would be published on Natural Gas Alert and in Platts Market Data.

The change to the CenterPoint Gas, East, is simply a name change to reflect the pipeline's current name. The description of the pricing location, other than the name change, is unchanged for the daily and monthly bidweek location and will remain as follows:

"Enable Gas, East (daily and monthly survey)

Deliveries into Enable Gas Transmission's flex/neutral and north pooling areas in northeastern Arkansas and southeastern Oklahoma. The north pooling area is separated from the south pooling area by a generally northwest-to southeast line between Le Flore County, Okla., and Bolivar County, Miss. The flex (or neutral) pooling area in Oklahoma comprises all of Pushmataha, Latimer, Haskell and Pittsburg counties and the northeast section of Atoka County. In the past, the system was known as CenterPoint Gas Transmission and prior to that, NorAm Gas Transmission, Arkla Energy Resources and, prior to Aug. 1, 2004, Reliant Energy Gas Transmission."

The renamed location will appear in the "Prices of Spot Gas Delivered to Pipelines" table in Inside FERC's Gas Market Report, Gas Daily, 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. Prices for Enable Gas, East, also will be published on Natural Gas Alert and in Platts Market Data.
