Subject: re : coastal ctr # 96008903 meter 0984179 sit # 135714 donald , back in october we had the gas received by hpl at the above meter moved to strangers gas pending a call from coastal to renegotiate a contract for sept 2000 gas . since volumes can no longer be allocated to stranger  , s gas it has been placed on an mjg deal which was the only valid deal available for sept 2000 . i assume coastal has not contacted brian as of yet . is it possible to have a deal created for coastal with a price of zero ? i know that we definitely do not want to pay mjg for this gas , but as long as the volume is sitting on their deal there is a possibility that someone may inadvertently send the payment out . let me know what you think . thanks , nick x 36454 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - forwarded by nick moshou / corp / enron on 01 / 29 / 2001 08 : 34 am - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - donald p reinhardt @ ect 10 / 27 / 2000 11 : 09 am to : mary poorman / na / enron @ enron cc : nick moshou / corp / enron @ enron , anita luong / hou / ect @ ect , brian m riley / hou / ect @ ect , pat clynes / corp / enron @ enron , daren j farmer / hou / ect @ ect , melissa graves / hou / ect @ ect , vance l taylor / hou / ect @ ect subject : re : coastal ctr # 96008903 meter 0984179 sit # 135714 having discussed the matter with brian riley , hpl has no intention of contacting coastal to negotiate any type of deal affecting the gas received in september at at meter 4179 . it was brian ' s opinion that the gas should be considered strangers gas since hpl has no contract or price . it is suggested that nick moshou contact his counterpart at coastal , relaying this information and suggesting coastal ' s trader contract brian riley . donald mary poorman @ enron 10 / 27 / 2000 10 : 05 am to : nick moshou / corp / enron @ enron cc : anita luong / hou / ect @ ect , brian m riley / hou / ect @ ect , pat clynes / corp / enron @ enron , daren j farmer / hou / ect @ ect , donald p reinhardt / hou / ect @ ect subject : re : coastal ctr # 96008903 meter 0984179 sit # 135714 nick , i understand that they terminated their agreement . however , i don ' t feel that we can confiscate their production . we need to either pay them for the gas , or cut a deal to redeliver a like volume to them at another meter . given the decrease in prices from september to current and prompt month , i would guess that they want to be paid . we won ' t know that until we call them . i don ' t know where the responsibility lies as far as calling to explain to them that we took delivery of their gas until the meter was shut - in . please let me know if i can do anything further to assist . mary
