Btu Swap Contracts

Btu swap contracts outstanding at December 31, 2005 had a net fair value loss of $23 million. As of February 28, 2006, we terminated the remaining portion of these contracts, resulting in total payments to the counterparty of $7 million in first quarter 2006.

Btu Swap Contracts

In 1995, we entered a contract to sell gas based on crude oil pricing, also referred to as the Enron Btu swap contract. This contract was terminated as a result of the Enron bankruptcy in December 2001. Because the contract pricing was not clearly and closely associated with natural gas prices, it was considered a non-hedge derivative financial instrument, with changes in fair value recorded as a derivative (gain) loss in the income statement.

Prior to termination of the Enron Btu swap contract, we entered Btu swap contracts with another counterparty to effectively defer until August 2005 through July 2006 any cash flow impact related to 25,000 Mcf of daily gas deliveries in 2002 that were to be made under the Enron Btu swap contract. Changes in fair value of these contracts were recorded as a derivative (gain) loss in the income statement.

Btu Swap Contracts

 

In 1995, we entered a contract to sell gas based on crude oil pricing, also referred to as the Enron Btu swap contract. This contract was terminated as a result of the Enron bankruptcy in December 2001. Because the contract pricing was not clearly and closely associated with natural gas prices, it was considered a non-hedge derivative financial instrument, with changes in fair value recorded as a derivative (gain) loss in the income statement.

 

Prior to termination of the Enron Btu swap contract, we entered Btu swap contracts with another counterparty to effectively defer until August 2005 through July 2006 any cash flow impact related to 25,000 Mcf of daily gas deliveries in 2002 that were to be made under the Enron Btu swap contract. Changes in fair value of these contracts are recorded as a derivative (gain) loss in the income statement. In March 2002, we terminated some of these contracts with maturities of May through December 2002 and received $6.6 million from the counterparty. Because these Btu swap contracts are non-hedge derivatives, most of the $6.6 million gain related to their termination had previously been recorded in 2001 derivative fair value gain.
