Metered Flow Rates in Error. If, for any reason, any Measurement Facilities used in measuring or checking the measurement of volumes of Fresh Water or Produced Water under this Agreement are (i) out of adjustment, (ii) out of service, or (iii) out of repair and the total calculated flow rate through each meter run is found to be in error in excess of two percent (2%) of the adjusted flow rate as described in Section 10.3, the total volumes of Fresh Water or Produced Water, as applicable, made available shall be determined in accordance with the first of the following methods which is feasible: (a) By using the registration of any mutually agreeable check metering facility, if installed and accurately registering (subject to testing as provided for in Section 10.3); (b) Where multiple meter runs exist in series, by calculation using the registration of such meter run equipment; provided that they are measuring Fresh Water or Produced Water, as applicable, in common with the faulty metering equipment, are not controlled by separate regulators, and are accurately registering; (c) By correcting the error by re-reading of the official data, or by straightforward application of a correcting factor to the volumes recorded for the period (if the net percentage of error is ascertainable by calibration, tests or mathematical calculation); or (d) By estimating the volumes, based upon volumes made available during periods of similar conditions when the meter was registering accurately.
