16 2 GAS VOLUME MEASUREMENT 2.1 General and Overview JEMENA is the Measurement Authority for the Eastern Gas Pipeline with responsibility for measurement and reconciliation of all gas received and delivered on the Eastern Gas Pipeline. JEMENA owns, operates and maintains gas quality measuring equipment at the Receipt Point(s) and at selected Delivery Points on the pipeline. Generally flow measurement facilities are maintained by JEMENA at each Delivery Point(s) and Receipt Point(s). Where Delivery or Receipt Point measurement equipment is owned or operated by a 3 rd party, they are maintained in accordance with this manual and JEMENA requirements. Data transfer from on-site RTUs to the SCADA system achieves remote monitoring of flow and gas quality. Land communications link the GT Control to on site measurement equipment at Receipt and key Delivery points. Measured flow is corrected for temperature and pressure to produce instantaneous volumetric and energy based flow rates at standard conditions in the on-site flow computer. The flow computer also calculates and maintains an accumulated record of volume and energy passing through the meter. In conjunction with line pack calculations, the accumulated quantities from each meter are used for the daily reconciliation and balancing of the pipeline. Shipper delivery points are equipped with Ultrasonic meters, Coriolis meters or Turbine meters. Diaphragm meters are used for heater fuel gas measurement at the meter and compressor stations. Coriolis meters are used as fuel gas meters at the Longford, Mila and Michelago compressor stations. The Data obtained from the flow computers of each meter is used to calculate the flow over the Billing Period. 2.2 Meter Assembly The meter assembly measures dynamic flow properties for use in the calculation of volumetric flow. Three styles of meter assembly are in service on the pipeline. JEMENA receipt points use ultrasonic flow meters. At the Delivery Points, a mixture of Ultrasonic, Coriolis and Turbine meters are employed. Coriolis meters are also used to measure the fuel usage at Longford and Mila Compressor Stations ULTRASONIC METERS The Ultrasonic meter measures the difference in time taken for sound waves to travel in the gas stream between up and downstream-paired transducers. Ultrasonic sound pulses are launched in each direction (as shown in Figure 1), their time of transit is measured, and the difference can be related to the speed of flow in the pipe. Ultrasonic meters have several sound wave paths through the gas in the pipe. Algorithms are used to derive the average flow velocity and determine if swirl or turbulence is present. The actual volumetric flow rate is calculated from the average velocity and the internal diameter of the meter. The Flow computer converts the actual volumetric flow rate to volumetric flow rate at Standard Conditions and Energy flow rate using inputs from pressure and temperature sensors and gas quality data.

17 Gas Transmission South Figure 1: Ultrasonic meter schematic Where: D = Diameter of pipe L = Ultrasonic wave path distance A & B = Transducers ϕ = Angle between pipe axis and acoustic path v = Velocity of gas Ultrasonic meters are installed, operated and maintained as per the requirements of the American Gas Association (AGA) Report No. 9, second edition April 2007, and the manufactures installation, operating and maintenance manual. Periodic checks, called validations, are carried out to confirm the accuracy and integrity of the meter set. This includes checks of the Automatic Gain and Level Control, correct ultrasonic pulse rate and velocity of sound. This data indicates if any of the ultrasonic paths are fouled, the meter is subject to external noise or any of the ultrasonic transducers are deteriorating. Monitoring of the measured velocity of sound will show if there is any change in a critical dimension or the reference clock has drifted. Checks and calibration of temperature and pressure transmitters are also carried out during a validation. On-line diagnostics continuously monitor the performance of the meter. These diagnostic checks help to locate any metering discrepancies. Once identified, a discrepancy is investigated by JEMENA field staff. Metered data validations will be initiated to prove metering at any site as dictated by the field investigation. Where possible, delivery point meters will be operated in series with a nominated duty meter and stand-by meter. The following brands/types of ultrasonic meters are used on the EGP metering facilities: Daniel SeniorSonic Mark III, Sick Maihak FlowSick600 Instromet Q-Sonic The measurement uncertainties for these ultrasonic meters do not exceed 0.23% of their measurement range (Ref. Jemena document GTS-599-JJ-004 Uncertainty Calculations for Gas Measurement). Consequently, all ultrasonic meters, used on EGP, comply with the National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting (Measurement) Determination 2008 Chapter 2, Part 2.3 Division Section TURBINE METERS The turbine meter has a turbine rotor, which rotates as gas passes through it. Permanent magnets attached to the rotor tips turn with the rotor and produce magnetic currents in a coil causing a voltage pulse. Every time a magnet passes the coil a pulse is recorded and the total amount of gas that has gone through the meter is calculated. Straightening vanes are inserted in GTS-599-TR-GM-001 EGP Measurement Manual Rev 13 _Revised May 2017 Page 17 of 63

18 the upstream section of the meter tube to aid in eliminating the turbulent flow patterns induced by the upstream piping allowing a concise meter reading as shown in Figure 2. Figure 2: Turbine Meter Schematic Turbine meters are installed, operated and maintained as per the current requirements of the AGA Report No. 7, second edition 1996 and the manufacturer s installation, operating, and maintenance manual. Temperature and pressure transmitters are located with each meter and are used to calculate the volumetric flow at Standard Measurement Conditions. At regular intervals agreed on by both JEMENA and the site customer, the in-service turbine meter is placed in series with another laboratory-calibrated meter. The throughput of each meter is measured and recorded. The results of the comparison must be within the required tolerance for continued use of the in-service turbine. The flow computer receives data from the meter, pressure and temperature transmitters and live gas quality data from a gas chromatograph, which enables calculation of gas volume and energy flow rates at standard conditions. Jemena EGP gas measurement facilities include one (1) site, equipped with the turbine meter, i.e. Smithfield Meter Station. The station is fitted with the Instromet type SM-RI-X meter. The meter is designed for the custody transfer applications in demanding industrial environment and it is manufactured and tested in accordance with the relevant International Standards, e.g. OIML R and ISO The typical uncertainty of the SM-R1-X turbine meter can be defined as ± 0.5% for 0.2*Qmax to Qmax (Ref. Jemena document GTS-599-JJ-004 Uncertainty Calculations for Gas Measurement). Consequently, the turbine meters, used on EGP, comply with the National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting (Measurement) Determination 2008 Chapter 2, Part 2.3 Division Section CORIOLIS METER The Coriolis meter uses an obstruction less U-shaped tube as a sensor. Inside the sensor housing, the sensor tube vibrates at its natural frequency. The sensor tube is driven by an electromagnetic drive coil located at the centre of the bend in the tube and vibrates similar to that of a tuning fork (Figure 3). GTS-599-TR-GM-001 EGP Measurement Manual Rev 13 _Revised May 2017 Page 18 of 63

19 Gas Transmission South Figure 3: Coriolis Meter Schematic The fluid flowing into the sensor tube is forced to take on the vertical momentum of the vibrating tube. When the tube is moving upward during half of its vibration cycle the fluid flowing into the sensor resists being forced upward by pushing down on the tube. The fluid flowing out of the sensor has an upward momentum from the motion of the tube. As it travels around the tube bend, the fluid resists changes in its vertical motion by pushing up on the tube. The difference in forces causes the sensor tube to twist. When the tube is moving downward during the second half of its vibration cycle, it twists in the opposite direction. This twisting characteristic is called the Coriolis Effect. Electromagnetic velocity detectors located on each side of the flow tube measure the velocity of the vibrating tube. Mass flow is determined by measuring the time difference exhibited by the velocity detector signals. During zero flow conditions; no tube twist occurs, resulting in no time difference between the two velocity signals. With flow, a twist occurs with a resulting time difference between the two velocity signals. This time difference is directly proportional to mass flow. The flow computer receives data from the meter in terms of pulses/kg and live gas quality data from a gas chromatograph enables calculation of gas volume and energy flow rates at standard conditions. The Micromotion ELITE series H Coriolis sensor is typically used in the Coriolis measurement applications on EGP. The series R is also used but only for small fuel gas metering installations for power generator sets. The sensor is typically interconnected to the RF9739 or Series 2000 Coriolis transmitter. The uncertainty of the mass flow measurement for the above combination of the equipment is declared by the manufacturer as 0.5 % of rate, although the equipment calibration certificates indicate significantly better performance in the range of %. Following the manufacture s statement the uncertainty for the Coriolis gas custody transfer measurement is assumed to be 0.5% (Ref. Jemena document GTS-599-JJ-004 Uncertainty Calculations for Gas Measurement). Consequently, the Coriolis meters, used on EGP, comply with the National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting (Measurement) Determination 2008 Chapter 2, Part 2.3 Division Section Transmitters, Sensors and RTD S Transmitters, Sensors and Resistance Temperature Detectors (RTD) are mounted with each meter assembly depending on site requirements. They are used in the calculation of the correction factor that converts the actual metered flow to a net volume at standard measurement conditions.

20 2.3.1 STATIC PRESSURE SENSOR The static pressure transmitter is comprised of a simple diaphragm of which one side is exposed to pressure. The amount of pressure placed on this diaphragm provides a corresponding distortion, which can be measured to give a static pressure reading. The static pressure sensing lines are leak tested and the transmitter is calibrated across its range. The flow computer display pressures are then compared to known test values. Accuracy of the Static pressure sensor and flow computer inputs is checked periodically as part of routine validations. The transmitter is calibrated across its range using a Dead Weight Tester (DWT) or an electronic pressure calibrator. A known pressure is applied to the transmitter. The pressure reading (kpa) from the flow computer display is compared to a known value. The DWT and electronic pressure calibrator is regularly bench calibrated at a NATA certified facility. Allowance is made for local gravity, barometric pressure head of oil and temperature for the DWT. For both the Ultrasonic and Turbine meters, pressure sensors are mounted on each meter assembly. The static pressure is used in the calculation, which converts the actual metered volumetric flow to a volume flow at standard conditions. A pressure sensor is also mounted on the Coriolis meters for pressure compensation of the sensor tube. For the Coriolis meters of the size of CMF100 and smaller, which are used on EGP, the pressure compensation does not affect the accuracy of meter readings thus the calibration checks on these pressure instrumentation may be carried out as non-fiscal. The following two brands of pressure transmitters are commonly used on EGP: Honeywell ST 3000 Smart Transmitter - the declared manufacturer s total uncertainty for the transmitter amounts to URL. Rosemount 3051 series Smart Pressure Transmitters the declared base uncertainty of the transmitter measurement is 0.04 URL. Both transmitters have the ability to transfer their sensor reading digitally. However the ST 3000 digital signal is proprietary with limited RTU compatibility. In contrast the open HART protocol found in Rosemount series transmitters has a larger support base. HART communications of pressure transmitter increase metering accuracy by reducing uncertainties introduced by the isolating barriers and RTU A/D modules. For this reason HART communications is the preferred communications protocol for fiscal pressure transmitters. For the purposes of the transmitter validation tolerance calculations the uncertainty of the pressure transmitter measurement is assumed to be 0.1 URL to allow for stability deterioration over time and to set reasonable validation targets (Ref. Jemena document GTS-599-JJ-004 Uncertainty Calculations for Gas Measurement). Consequently, all pressure transmitters, used on the Eastern Gas Pipeline Metering sites are compliant with the transmitter accuracy requirements, as defined in the National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting (Measurement) Determination 2008, refer Chapter 2, Part 2.3 Division Section 2.32, and Chapter 1, Part 1.1A, Division 1.1A.2, Section 1.10F RESISTANCE TEMPERATURE DETECTORS & TEMPERATURE TRANSMITTERS The operating principle of the Resistance Temperature Detector (RTD) is relatively simple. A platinum wire is fixed within a probe positioned mid-stream in the pipe. The resistivity of a conductor is proportional to its temperature. Hence, variation in gas temperature can be inferred from the variation in the measured resistance across the platinum wire. A Temperature GTS-599-TR-GM-001 EGP Measurement Manual Rev 13 _Revised May 2017 Page 20 of 63

21 Gas Transmission South transmitter monitors the resistance across the platinum wire and converts it to a digital signal for use in flow calculations. Accuracy of the RTD and flow computer inputs is checked periodically as part of routine validations. The RTD temperature probes are calibrated using a water bath and a multi meter. The measured resistivity is compared to that of a NATA certified temperature probe. The temperature transmitters are calibrated using a certified resistance device. A known resistance is placed on the input to the transmitter and the expected temperature is compared to that indicated on the flow computer. The following types of the temperature transmitters are commonly used on EGP: Honeywell STT350 Smart Temperature Transmitter - the declared manufacturer s total uncertainty is 0.01 ºC, for the transmitter operating in the DE digital mode and in the range of ºC with Pt100 sensor. For the transmitter operating in analog 4-20 ma mode the uncertainties are in the range of 0.025%, i.e ºC. Rosemount 3144 series Smart Temperature Transmitters the declared base accuracy of the transmitters varies, depending on the variation of the Transmitter/Sensor arrangement, type of the sensor and the signal transmission techniques used. The declared manufacturer s total uncertainty is 0.1 ºC, for the transmitter operating as 4-20 ma in the range of ºC with Pt100 sensor. The manufacturer s declared ambient temperature effect for the transmitter operating with Pt100 in the ºC is ºC Both transmitters have the ability to transfer their sensor reading digitally. However the STT350 digital signal is proprietary with limited RTU compatibility. In contrast the open HART protocol found in Rosemount series transmitters has a larger support base. HART communications of temperature transmitter increase metering accuracy by reducing uncertainties introduced by the isolating barriers and RTU A/D modules. For this reason HART communications is the preferred communications protocol for fiscal temperature transmitters. For the purposes of this manual the uncertainty of 0.1%, i.e. 0.1 ºC have been assumed for all temperature transmitters, installed at the pipeline metering facilities (Ref. Jemena document GTS- 599-JJ-004 Uncertainty Calculations for Gas Measurement). Consequently, all temperature transmitters, used on the Eastern Gas Pipeline Metering sites are compliant with the transmitter and accuracy requirements, as defined in the National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting (Measurement) Determination 2008,, refer Chapter 2, Part 2.3 Division Section 2.32, and Chapter 1, Part 1.1A, Division 1.1A.2, Section 1.10F. 2.4 Flow Computers The flow computer performs three main functions: Computation of volume, mass, energy flow-rate and supercompressibility Calculation of flow Accumulation registers. Data transfer Each ultrasonic and turbine meter is connected to a local electronic flow computer, which receives and records the instantaneous values for all primary measurement inputs, i.e. volume flow signals from the meter as well as pressure and temperature information from the transmitters. From these inputs and along with the gas analysis, the flow computer continuously calculates the following: Instantaneous uncorrected volumetric flow GTS-599-TR-GM-001 EGP Measurement Manual Rev 13 _Revised May 2017 Page 21 of 63

22 Instantaneous corrected volumetric flow Instantaneous energy flow Cumulative uncorrected volumetric flow Cumulative corrected volumetric flow Cumulative energy flow Super compressibility factor. Each Coriolis meter is connected to a local electronic flow computer, which receives a mass flow signal from the meter. Volume at standard conditions and energy flow rates through the meter are calculated from this signal and the specific gravity of the gas provided by a gas chromatograph. From these inputs and along with the gas analysis, the flow computer continuously calculates the following: Instantaneous mass flow Instantaneous corrected volumetric flow Instantaneous energy flow Cumulative mass volumetric flow Cumulative corrected volumetric flow Cumulative energy flow Super compressibility factor. Consequently, the flow computers, used on EGP, comply with the National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting (Measurement) Determination 2008 Chapter 2, Part 2.3 Division Section All calculations done by the computer are in accordance with recognised industry standards. Gas quality data electronically downloaded to each flow computer includes: Gross Heating Value Relative Density Nitrogen Content Carbon Dioxide Content Hydrocarbon Components Meter specific data Inputs manually programmed into the flow computers are: Site specific Atmospheric Pressure Contract Base Pressure Contract Base Temperature SCADA outputs from the computer are: Pressure Temperature Flow Rate Energy Rate GTS-599-TR-GM-001 EGP Measurement Manual Rev 13 _Revised May 2017 Page 22 of 63

Performing a flow calculation using measured properties substituted into custom software, and comparing the result with that from the flow computer assesses calculation accuracy. Details on Flow computer validation spread sheets can be found in Section Measurement Uncertainties The uncertainties in the Jemena custody transfer measurement system have been estimated and the results of the calculations are presented in the GTS-599-RP-004 Calculation of Measurement Uncertainties. The Wholesale Market Metering Uncertainty Limits and Calibration Requirements Procedures document, as produced in accordance with the requirements of the National Gas Rules 2008 (Version 18) by AEMO (Australian Energy Market Operator), was adopted for the assessment and benchmarking of the performance of the Jemena measurement facilities. On the basis of the calculations, all Jemena custody transfer facilities on Eastern Gas Pipelines can be declared as compliant with the AEMO uncertainty requirements for the volume and energy flow categories. 3 FUEL GAS MEASUREMENT Fuel gas is used on the EGP facilities to power the following equipment: Compressor Units Emergency Power Generators (GEA) Water Bath Heaters Hot Water Heaters The consumption of fuel gas at all facilities is measured and recorded. The Coriolis type meters are typically used for the compressor unit and GEAs and the diaphragm meters for the water bath and hot water gas heaters. As estimated, in excess of 80% of the fuel gas is consumed by the compressor units and the remaining less than 20% is shared between the GEAs and gas heaters.

The vibration, though it is not completely circular, provides the rotating reference frame which gives rise to the Coriolis Effect. While specific methods vary according to the design of the flow meter, sensors monitor and analyse changes in frequency, phase shift, and amplitude of the vibrating flow tubes. The changes observed represent the mass flow rate and density of the fluid. Measurement accuracy of the Coriolis meter is a function of fluid mass flow rate independent of operating temperature, pressure, or composition. However, pressure drop through the sensor is dependent upon operating temperature, pressure, and fluid composition. All Jemena fuel gas Coriolis meter measurement applications are selected, installed and operated in accordance with the American Gas Association Report No 11 Measurement of natural gas by Coriolis meters. The field maintenance is performed on the meters, as per the Report. The maintenance consists of monitoring and evaluating metering conditions, as well as the diagnostic information as produced by the transmitter and the ancillary devices, to identify possible changes in the system performance and the causes of the changes. The evaluation is used to determine the need for the meter performance tests. The tests include the following: Zero check Sensor diagnostic check Transmitter diagnostic check The consumption of the fuel gas, as measured by the Coriolis meters, is processed and corrected in the flow computers. The resulting information on the volumetric and energy consumption is monitored and recorded on continuous basis via the Jemena SCADA facilities. The Coriolis type primary sensors, typically Rosemount Elite, R-style or F-style, are used on Jemena facilities for measurement of fuel gas consumption on the compressor units and GEAs. The sensors are typically paired with the RF9739 or Series 2000 Coriolis transmitters. GTS-599-TR-GM-001 EGP Measurement Manual Rev 13 _Revised May 2017 Page 24 of 63

25 Gas Transmission South The uncertainty of the fuel gas consumption measurement for the above combination of the equipment is declared by the manufacturer as 0.5 % of rate, although the equipment calibration certificates indicate significantly better performance in the range of %. Following the manufacture s statement the uncertainty for the Coriolis gas custody transfer measurement is assumed to be 0.5% (Ref. Jemena document GTS-599-JJ-004 Uncertainty Calculations for Gas Measurement). Consequently, the Coriolis meters, used on EGP, comply with the National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting (Measurement) Determination 2008 Chapter 2, Part 2.3 Division Section 2.35 Each Coriolis meter is connected to a local electronic flow computer, which receives a mass flow signal from the meter. Volume at standard conditions and energy flow rates through the meter are calculated from this signal and the specific gravity of the gas provided by a gas chromatograph. From these inputs and along with the gas analysis, the flow computer continuously calculates the following: Instantaneous corrected volumetric flow Cumulative corrected volumetric flow Supercompressibility factor All flow computers accumulate volume and energy totals. Consequently, the flow computers, used on EGP, comply with the National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting (Measurement) Determination 2008 Chapter 2, Part 2.3 Division Section Fuel Gas Metering with Diaphragm Meters Diaphragm meters are positive displacement type of the measuring device, which have fixedvolume measurement compartments formed by two-sided convoluted diaphragm. A small pressure drop across the meter causes it to cycle so these compartments alternatively fill with gas at the inlet. And then empty at the outlet. By counting the number of cycles, the meter provides a measure of gas volume. The AL series of diaphragm meters is used at Jemena for measurement of fuel gas consumption. The meters are housed in the aluminium alloy case, which is cast in one piece thus eliminating joints and gaskets and the resulting possibilities of internal leaks and malfunctions due to component aging process. The meter has been designed with aim to provide a long term accurate and maintenance free operation by eliminating or minimising friction of the moving parts and the use of self-lubricating joints. The diaphragm meters are commonly used in the gas distribution networks with millions of applications around the world. However, the application of the meters in the gas transmission facilities is, with regard to the nominal pressure and the measuring range of the meter, limited only to the fuel gas measurement. Consequently, the diaphragm meters, used at Jemena, can be classified as the distribution type meters. Calibration & Replacement of these types of meters must be in accordance with Jemena s Metering Strategies, which includes: a new meter is placed in service After any repairs, maintenance or recalibration performed on a meter then placed back into service The typical uncertainty of the AL1000 or equivalent diaphragm meter can be defined as ± 1.0% for Qmin to Qmax (Ref. Jemena document GTS-599-JJ-004 Uncertainty Calculations for Gas Measurement). GTS-599-TR-GM-001 EGP Measurement Manual Rev 13 _Revised May 2017 Page 25 of 63

26 Consequently, the diaphragm meters, used on EGP, comply with the National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting (Measurement) Determination 2008 Chapter 2, Part 2.3 Division Section Each diaphragm meter is connected to a local electronic flow computer, which receives and records the instantaneous values for all primary measurement inputs, i.e. volume flow signals from the meter as well as pressure and temperature information from the transmitters. From these inputs and along with the gas analysis, the flow computer continuously calculates the following: Instantaneous corrected volumetric flow Cumulative corrected volumetric flow Instantaneous uncorrected volumetric flow Cumulative uncorrected volumetric flow Supercompressibility factor. Consequently, the flow computers for the diaphragm meters, used on EGP, comply with the National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting (Measurement) Determination 2008 Chapter 2, Part 2.3 Division Section GTS-599-TR-GM-001 EGP Measurement Manual Rev 13 _Revised May 2017 Page 26 of 63

JEMENA monitor the gas quality to ensure it meets these specifications. The gas quality equipment currently installed on EGP is as per the following table: EGP Gas Quality Equipment Location Measurement Type Brand Model No Longford C6+ Gas Chromatograph Daniel Danalyser A Controller Longford C9 Gas Chromatograph Daniel Danalyser A Controller Longford H2S Analyser Daniel Danalyser A Controller Longford Moisture Analyser Spectra Sensors SS2000 Orbost C6+ Gas Chromatograph Daniel Danalyser A Controller Orbost C9 Gas Chromatograph Daniel Danalyser A Controller Orbost H2S Analyser Daniel Danalyser A Controller Orbost H2S Analyser Daniel Danalyser A Controller Orbost Moisture Analyser Ametek OLV (Primary) Orbost Moisture Analyser Ametek 5100 HD (under review) Port Kembla C6+ Gas Chromatograph Daniel Danalyser A Controller Port Kembla C6+ Gas Chromatograph Daniel Danalyser A Controller Port Kembla H2S Analyser Daniel Danalyser A Controller Port Kembla H2S Analyser Daniel Danalyser A Controller Smithfield C6+ Gas Chromatograph Daniel Danalyser A Controller Smithfield C6+ Gas Chromatograph Daniel Danalyser A Controller Wilton (APA) C9 Gas Chromatograph ABB NGC8209 Table 2: EGP Gas Quality Equipment 4.2 Specifications The JEMENA Standard Terms and Conditions for the Eastern Gas Pipeline state the acceptable gas quality limits that apply to gas to be transported. Those requirements are restated in Table 3 below. JEMENA is contractually obligated to flow, on behalf of its Shippers, only gas that meets the specification. It is the Shipper s responsibility to ensure that gas to be transported meets this specification at its Receipt Point(s). JEMENA will immediately notify the Shipper and Supplier when gas is not meeting specifications as identified by JEMENA gas quality measuring devices at the Receipt Point(s). Steps as outlined in Section 4 of the Standard Operating Procedure EGP Red Alarms Gas Quality Procedure (GTS-500-PR-PC-001) may be taken by JEMENA in the event of off-specification gas. However, neither this action, nor the knowledge of the presence of off-specification gas by JEMENA personnel relieve the Shipper from its contractual obligation for providing gas meeting specifications, or liability for any consequential damage incurred by Shippers directly or indirectly due to the acceptance of off-specification gas on behalf of a Shipper.
