Northern Border Ventura Description: Our Northern Border Ventura index captures the value of gas at Ventura, IA that is ticketed for delivery into the Chicago area. As such, it includes receipts from Northern Natural Gas, along with deliveries along its own system at the Ventura Transfer Point. As stated in the Northern Border tariff, "the term 'Transfer Point' shall be used to describe a point on company's system where, for purposes of scheduling and nominations, in-line transfers of gas shall occur from one transportation agreement to another or from a compression agreement or PAL agreement to a transportation agreement." Our index does not include gas traded from Northern Border into Northern Natural Gas.
