While she hasn’t come to any firm conclusions as to possible changes that may need to be made in the collection and dissemination of natural gas prices in the wake of revelations that certain traders apparently reported false data to various trade publications, FERC Commissioner Nora Brownell said on Wednesday that her own personal opinion is that the government shouldn’t shoulder this responsibility.

Altra CEO Rejects Forrester Report’s Conclusions
A recent report by Forrester Research on the impending demise of independent trading exchanges doesn’t impress Altra Energy Technologies CEO Paul Bourke, who told NGI there are a few items the researchers overlooked in their race to endorse exchanges sponsored by the New York Mercantile Exchange and by companies trading in the market.
Chevron Seeking Terminal Site
Although no conclusions or commitments have been reached,Chevron is very actively pursuing studies leading to thedevelopment of a liquefied natural gas (LNG) receiving terminal ata still undetermined spot along the California coast to regasifythe equivalent of 500 MMcf/d of LNG from the Northwest Shelf offWestern Australia (see Daily GPI, March 20). Chevron is a one-sixthowner of the huge NW Shelf LNG Project involving 15 Tcf of gas nowbeing liquefied and shipped to markets in the Far East, and atwo-seventh partner in the not-yet-producing Gorgon Projectoffshore Western Australia.
Correction:
The following is a clarification of a story titled “NGC’sCapacity Posting,” which ran in Daily GPI, April 22: Thecalculations and conclusions described in the story were totallythose of Michael J. Harris of the Reed Consulting Group ascontained in a FERC filing made by the producers protesting the NGCcapacity contracts on El Paso. The Prebon Energy brokerage housemade no predictions. A footnote to the filing says Prebon, whichhas offices in Jersey City, NJ, and Houston, supplied futurequotes at a specific time – 11:30 a.m. on March 30 – of the SanJuan Basin-California border basis differential. The quoted remarksregarding the expected San Juan-SoCal basis differential for thefuture and the attractiveness of the NGC capacity to other shipperswere those of Harris and the Reed Consulting group. Further Prebonsays it did not give basis information to Mr. Harris or the ReedConsulting Group but that the basis information attributed toPrebon was supplied by one of the parties to the filing. NGIregrets the error.
