failure to comply with such quality specifications.
Article 6.
MEASUREMENT AND TESTING
6.1. Measurement Equipment. Measurement of Shipper's Gas shall take
place at the Receipt. Points. Shipper will install, or cause to be installed,
at or near the Receipt Points, orifice meters or other measuring equipment
necessary in Gatherer's judgment to accurately measure the volumes of Shipper's
Gas being delivered into the Gathering System to the extent such meters or other
measuring equipment have not been installed as of the date of this Agreement.
Such measuring equipment shall be comparable to the measuring equipment of other
parties delivering gas into the Gathering System. Shipper shall be responsible
for, and bear the cost of, acquiring, installing, maintaining and operating such
measurement equipment.
6.2. Chart Integration. Gatherer shall be responsible for reading the
meters at the Receipt Points. Gatherer shall furnish, install, remove, and
integrate all recording charts used in such meters in accordance with Gatherer's
standard practices.
6.3. Delivery Points. The measurement of and tests for quality of
Shipper's Gas redelivered at the Delivery Points shall be governed by and
determined in accordance with the requirements of the receiving pipeline at each
Delivery Point.
6.4. Unit of Volume. The unit of volume for purposes of measurement
shall be one (1) cubic foot of gas at a temperature base of sixty degrees (600)
Fahrenheit and at a pressure base of fourteen and seventy-three one-hundredths
(14.73) psia.
6.5. Testing Procedures. Shipper shall follow the meter calibrations
schedule established by Gatherer for each meter on the Gathering System. Such
calibrations shall occur at least once every twelve (12) months but not more
frequently than once every six (6) months. No testing, calibration, or
adjustment of a meter or related equipment shall be performed without Gatherer
first being given five (5) days' notice thereof and having the opportunity to be
present.
6.6. Meter Inaccuracy. If, at any time, any meter is found to be out of
service or registering inaccurately in any percentage, it shall be adjusted at
once by Shipper to read accurately within the limits prescribed by the meter's
manufacturer. If such equipment is out of service or inaccurate by an amount
exceeding three percent (3%) of a reading corresponding to the average flow rate
for the period since the last test, the previous readings shall be corrected for
the period that the meter is known to be inaccurate, or, if not known, a period
of one-half(Y2) the elapsed time since the last test. The volume of Shipper's
Gas delivered during such period shall be estimated by Gatherer either (i) by
using the data recorded by any check measuring equipment if installed and
accurately registered, (ii) by correcting the error if the percentage of error
is ascertainable by calibration, test, or mechanical calculation or, if neither
such method is feasible, (iii) by estimating the quantity delivered based upon
deliveries under similar conditions during a period when the equipment
registered accurately. No volume correction shall be made for metering
inaccuracies of three percent (3%) or less.
6.7. Meter Testing. If Gatherer requests to have any meter tested, then
Shipper shall have the meter tested in the presence of and to the satisfaction
of Gatherer. If the meter tested proves to be accurate within plus or minus
three percent (3%) at its normal operating range, then the cost of testing and
recalibrating the meter shall be borne by Gatherer. Shipper will schedule all
required tests within ten (10) days of a request by Gatherer. Shipper will
notify Gatherer at least five (5) working days prior to the test of the date,
time, and location of such test.
6.8. Books and Records. Gatherer shall keep and maintain proper books
of account during the term of this Agreement and for a period of three (3) years
thereafter showing (a) the total volume of Shipper's Gas transported through the
Gathering System from the Receipt Points to the Delivery Points and (b) the
volume of gas allocated to each Receipt Point. Gatherer shall also preserve, or
cause to be preserved, for at least one (1) year all test data, charts, and
similar data pertaining to the measurement and testing of Shipper's Gas, unless
a longer period is prescribed by applicable regulations. Shipper shall have the
right during normal business hours, after reasonable notice to Gatherer, to
inspect Gatherer's books and records not older than three (3) years from the
date of request for inspection. Such inspections shall take place at Gatherer's
office. Any costs attributable to such audits or inspections shall be borne by
Shipper.
