Common use of When Plant Supplier’s Gas is to be Bypassed Clause in Contracts

When Plant Supplier’s Gas is to be Bypassed. During periods when the Plant is shut down because of mechanical failure, force majeure or necessary maintenance or repairs, all of Plant Supplier’s gas being transported through Southern’s Lines shall be Bypassed Gas. When the Plant is partially shut down for any of the above-mentioned reasons, or if the Plant lacks sufficient capacity to handle all gas available for processing from Southern’s Lines, Plant Supplier’s gas shall be processed only on a space available basis, and to the extent that gas handling capacity in the Plant, for any reason, is not available for such gas, such gas shall be preferentially bypassed along with the gas of any other Third Party Suppliers which is made available for processing in the Plant. All of such gas bypassed preferentially will be determined monthly on an average daily basis and will be prorated to all Third Party Suppliers under their respective agreements in the ratio that the average daily volume of gas made available by each during the month bears to the total average daily volumes made available by all such Third Party Suppliers during the month; provided that, if any continuous period of complete shutdown of the Plant shall equal or exceed twelve (12) hours’ duration, the time of each such shutdown [determined to the nearest increment of six (6) hours] and the measured (or estimated, in the absence of measurement) volumes of gas bypassed during such determined period of shutdown shall be excluded in determining the average volume of Third Party Suppliers’ gas considered to have been bypassed during the affected month for purposes hereof.
