Measurement Procedures. The measurements of the quantity and quality of all Gas delivered at the Receipt Points and Delivery Points will be conducted in accordance with the following: (a) The unit of volume for measurement will be one Standard Cubic Foot. Such measured volumes, converted to MSCF, will be multiplied by their Gross Heating Value per MSCF. (b) The temperature of the Gas will be determined by a recording thermometer installed so that it may record the temperature of the Gas flowing through the meters, or such other means of recording temperature as may be mutually agreed upon by the Parties. The average of the record to the nearest one degree Fahrenheit, obtained while Gas is being delivered, will be the applicable flowing Gas temperature for the period under consideration. (c) The specific gravity of the Gas will be determined by a recording gravitometer or chromatographic device installed and located at a suitable point determined by Shipper to record representative specific gravity of the Gas being metered or, at Shipper’s or its designee’s option, by continuous sampling or spot sampling using standard type gravity methods. If a recording gravitometer or chromatographic device is used, the gravity to the nearest one-thousandth (0.001) obtained while Gas is being delivered will be the specific gravity of the Gas sampled for the recording period. The gravity to the nearest one-thousandth (0.001) will be determined concurrently with the accuracy of the Measurement Devices as provided in Section 1.4(e) of this Exhibit A. (d) Adjustments to measured Gas volumes for the effects of supercompressibility will be made in accordance with accepted American Gas Association standards. Gatherer or its designee will obtain appropriate carbon dioxide and nitrogen mole fraction values for the Gas delivered as may be required to compute such adjustments in accordance with standard testing procedures. At Gatherer’s or its designee’s option, equations for the calculation of supercompressibility may be taken from the American Gas Association Report No. 8, 1992, Compressibility and Supercompressibility for Natural Gas and Other Hydrocarbon Gases, latest revision. (e) For purposes of measurement and meter calibration, the atmospheric pressure for each of the Receipt Points and Delivery Points will be assumed to be the pressure value determined by Shipper for the county elevation in which such point is located pursuant to generally accepted industry practices irrespective of the actual atmospheric pressure at such points from time to time. (f) The Gross Heating Value of the Gas delivered at the Receipt Points and Delivery Points will be determined when each Well is placed on-line and at least bi-annually by means of some approved method of general use in the Gas industry; provided, however, that when Daily deliveries of Gas at any Receipt Point or Delivery Point average 1,000 MSCF per Day or greater during any Month, the Gross Heating Value of the Gas delivered at such Receipt Point or Delivery Point will be determined Monthly by a chromatographic analysis of a flow proportional sample taken at a suitable point on the facilities to be representative of the Gas being metered. (g) Other tests to determine water content, sulfur and other impurities in the Gas will be conducted whenever requested by either Party and will be conducted in accordance with standard industry testing procedures. The Party requested to perform such tests will bear the cost of such tests only if the Gas tested is determined not to be within the quality specification set forth below. If the Gas is within such quality specification, the requesting Party will bear the cost of such tests. (h) If, during the Term of this Agreement, a new method or technique is developed with respect to Gas measurement or the determination of the factors used in such Gas measurement, such new method or technique may be substituted for the method set forth in this Agreement; provided that Gatherer receives Shipper’s written consent, and that the new method or technique is in accordance with accepted standards of the American Gas Association.
