  13. subject : tenaska iv gas
  14. daren , per review of the gas agreements between tenaska iv and
  15. williams / apache and our understanding of the agency agreement , i had a few
  16. items i wanted to discuss with you ( in lieu of our meeting today that was
  17. cancelled ) :
  18. 1 . looking at the october gas supply to the plant , i think tenaska iv should
  19. have been charged at the contract prices with williams & apache ( i . e . 2 . 285 )
  20. and not at what the final price that was actualized per megan ' s summary -
  21. 230 , 406 at $ 710 , 616 . 70 , price of $ 3 . 084 . if this volume was charged at
  22. 2 . 285 the total would have been $ 526 , 477 . 71 , a difference of $ 184 , 138 . 99 .
  23. 2 . looking at the november gas supply to the plant , tenaska iv was charged
  24. $ 2 . 91 per mmbtu , instead of $ 2 . 285 for volumes of 267 , 300 . at the $ 2 . 91
  25. price , the total settlement price was $ 777 , 843 instead of $ 610 , 780 . 50 at
  26. 2 . 285 , showing a difference of $ 167 , 062 . 50 .
  27. i reviewed the gas supply agreements and the williams gas price ( pg . 19 ) for
  28. 2000 gas is 2 . 32 , which can be adjusted by the waha transportation adjustment
  29. if delivered at waha . this adjustment started in 1997 at $ . 03 per mmbtu and
  30. increase by 5 % per year . thereby currently , the adjustment factor is at
  31. . 0347 , giving us a price of $ 2 . 2853 per mmbtu .
  32. in reviewing the apache gas agreement ( pg . 22 ) , i noticed that the gas price
  33. is 2 . 285 at waha & 2 . 315 at katy / carthage for 2000 . per review of the apache
  34. invoices , it appears that we are not getting our gas at these points but at
  35. other places ( i . e . lomak - sterling & mendell cdp ) at a price of $ 2 . 175 . if
  36. enron has a separate agreement at these delivery points and can capture a
  37. margin difference then that is upside to enron . however , i think the plant
  38. should not be charged above the contract price of $ 2 . 285 .
  39. looking at the daily gas that was scheduled to the plant for november and
  40. october , i did not see that their use went over the contracted volumes from
  41. williams and apache of 45 , 000 mmbtu per day . therefore i don ' t think spot
  42. prices are part of the equation here . additionally , i recall from our
  43. meeting last month that all enron makes on this deal is the agency fee of
  44. $ . 04 per mmbtu ( excluding the margin difference that enron has on apache gas
  45. delivery points if my scenario above is correct ) .
  46. so based upon items 1 & 2 above , i am suggesting that tenaska iv adjust their
  47. november invoice owed to enron for gas used by the plant by the gas price
  48. differences showed above . therefore , i am planning to wire a payment of
  49. $ 484 , 234 . 03 ( see breakout below ) on friday , 12 / 22 , to enron on behalf of
  50. tenaska iv texas partners , ltd . for this activity .
  51. month plant gas price amount
  52. november 267 , 300 2 . 91 $ 777 , 843
  53. november adjustment $ ( 167 , 062 . 50 )
  54. october adjustment $ ( 184 , 138 . 99 )
  55. nov . agency fee 1 , 350 , 000 . 04 $ 54 , 000
  56. sept . agency fee 98 , 813 . 04 $ 3 , 592 . 52
  57. total $ 484 , 234 . 03
  58. i discussed these issues with mike mazowita , rick hill & jody pierce before
  59. reaching this conclusion . should you have any different ideas or thoughts
  60. that i am not covering , please call me at 3 - 7280 and we can discuss . thanks .
