Important Note: Capacity shown is available for the entire upcoming 12-month period.  To determine unsold capacity for terms of less than one year, or for capacity at specific receipt and delivery points, please consult the Long- term unsold – map point listing report or contact your Questar Pipeline Marketing Representative. 

[1]   Refer to the Long- term unsold – map point listing report to determine available capacity at specific receipt and delivery points.

[2]   Capacity at some receipt and delivery points may require QPC to purchase capacity on Questar Overthrust Pipeline, which will increase the rate for those deliveries above the maximum tariff rate.  The OT* - Questar Overthrust Pipeline designation on the Long- term unsold - map point listing report indicates what available capacity will require the purchase of Overthrust capacity.  Shippers shall be responsible for paying the purchased capacity costs in addition to Questar Pipeline’s maximum T-1 transportation rate.  Bids for that capacity must include any reservation fees associated with these third party charges.  If the total reservation charge exceeds Questar’s maximum reservation rate, the Shipper’s bid must also include language that reflects they are willing to pay a negotiated rate.  Contact your marketing representative for any additional charges that would be necessary.

The current incremental monthly reservation charge for capacity that requires Questar Overthrust Pipeline Company is $1.06458 per Dth.  Contractual agreements that incur the additional backhaul charge above maximum rate will be filed with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission with a negotiated rate prior to gas flowing.

[3]  Refer to Questar Pipeline’s FERC Gas Tariff, Statement of Rates, Sheet No. 6.

Questar may agree, through acceptance in its contracting system, to allow a variety of discounts between its maximum and minimum rates under any rate schedule in its tariff without undue discrimination.
