Great--the front running ideas now are (1) an operational sale in the San
Juan of the 20,000 we recieve there and an offsetting operational purchase
(less basis differential) at some other location (i.e., the permian) thus
freeing up 20,000/d of physical space on the lateral; or (2) an exchange
agreement under which a party takes our 20,000 in the SJ and gives us back
the same amount, less basis differential, in the permian. The SJ 20,000
would still physically flow down the lateral, but it would have to move under
someone's transport agreement--in other words it wouldn't be incremental to
our 850,000/d of firm transport obligations. I don't know if this will work
yet, but it was a creative idea by Keith and Donna. I'm eager to talk to
Steve Harris and Susan about this because it sounds similar to a scenario
that Susan researched a while ago and that Lindy explained to me--maybe
there are problems or solutions yet to be considered. DF

Subject: Gallup Expansion

Today we had meeting to discuss the filing for the 10 MMcf/d expansion.
Donna covered her needs so that a filing draft can be sent out on 12/15/00.
There was discussion on the possibility of having an Open Season. Drew
covered his thoughts of not having an Open Season and building the project At
Risk. Once we are ready to put the changes into service we would post the
capacity. At this time Donna has received all of her information is putting
into a draft.

After our meeting this morning, we discussed the possibility of moving only
the 850 MMcf/d on the San Juan lateral and not include the 20 MMcf/d of
fuel. If we are to only move the 850 MMcf/d, the changing of horsepower may
not be needed (I have a call into Ron Matthews for the answer). The reason
we are asking this question is save capital dollars and speed up the in
service date. Planning has said that any change we make at the Gallup
station will not work for the main expansion. Drew and Maria are looking for
a way to bring the fuel or a portion of the 850 MMcf/d in at another point
(Drew to explain in more detail). The reason we are asking these questions
is that engineering says the project will not be ready for service until the
third quarter of 2001. We may miss an opportunity.

I will be in early tomorrow or you can reach me at home tonight after 9:00 PM
(896-1025), if have any questions.
