General Information
- Injection:
-
Injection season starts approximately May 1 to Oct 31
During the start of the injection season, the average injection volume is 300 MMcf
Formula for injection allocation = (X/Y) * Z
X = Firm Shipper’s annual working gas
Y = Sum of annual working gas of all firm shippers
Z = Available injection capacity on any day

-
Withdrawal season starts approximately Nov 1 to Mar 31
During the start of the withdrawal season, the average volume is 500 MMcf
The actual withdrawal rate varies with the working gas volume and the takeaway pipeline pressures
Formula for withdrawal allocation = [(A/B) * (C - D)] + E
A = Firm Shipper’s working gas remaining in storage
B = Total working gas remaining in storage for all shippers
C = Maximum possible reservoir deliverability
D = Sum of firm shipper’s minimum required deliverability
E = Firm shipper’s minimum required deliverability
