Re: Gas Purchase Contract No. PAM058500*, Panhandle Area
Dear Producer:
Effective April 1, 2009, DCP Midstream, LP, as buyer under the captioned Contract, will begin remitting to you for gas purchases under the Contract the applicable Contract percentages the values that DCP actually receives for pentanes and heavier (C5+) natural gas liquids or NGL components and for Y-2 Product. We are making this price change under price provisions quoted in Attachments 1 and 2 to this letter. For example, the Attachment 1 provision states in part that “Buyer shall not be obligated to make payment to Seller based on any price which Buyer for any reason does not receive or retain, and may adjust purchase prices accordingly.”
This change is necessary because of an NGL sale price redetermination with our NGL purchaser that significantly increased the transportation and fractionation deduction and reduced the price for Panhandle Region C5+ NGLs and for Y-2 Product at the Sherhan, Dumas, Sneed, Rock Creek, and Gray Plants, effective as of January 1, 2009. There will be no pricing changes for residue gas or for ethane, propane, or butanes NGL components, or for contracts that do not contain the Attachment 1 or 2 pricing language. Overall, these price changes for the heavier NGL components will affect only about one third of our volumes handled in the Panhandle region, even though we suffered the NGL sale price decrease to virtually our entire volume of NGL sales from the area.
If you have any questions or require additional information, do not hesitate to call your Commercial Accounts Manager at the above listed number.
| Yours very truly, | ||
