I called Ronnie Lee to invite him to the New York Christmas party (he'll
probably come) and we had a lengthy conversation about what they're doing
right now.
It sounds like they are down to 4 counterparties on their previous "asset
management" solicitation: Enron, Southern, Duke and Williams. Williams is
their first choice at the moment purely driven on price. It sounds like
Williams is willing to effectively provide natural gas at a below-market
fixed price. Both Williams and Duke were comparable on price. Enron and
Southern are close on price and just behind the Duke/Williams pricing.
Although Ronnie claims everyone is "right there together", the small pricing
difference is significant when looked at over 15 years. Williams will be with
Ronnie soon (next couple weeks) to begin discussing contract language. He
says documents aren't signed and I can tell he really wanted us to be at the
table. We priced our last deal to him about 4 weeks ago and I believe the gas
curve was higher than it is currently. Ronnie agrees that it would be
worthwhile to reprice our deal since the prices were so close before. He said
Jackson has now joined Walton, Colquitt, and Satilla and they would like to
come to terms on a definitive document in the December/January timeframe.

I talked with him about Oglethorpe and Tom Smith, and he was very interested
to find out we'd been meeting with them. He thinks Oglethorpe will only keep
about 40% of the existing Oglethorpe load. He'd like to sit down and talk
thru all this after we re-price our deal and I told him that Ozzie would be
in touch to try and set up a time.

Although I hadn't really planned to call Ronnie on this, I thought it
probably wouldn't be bad to stir things up a bit!
