Conflicting interpretations of the Natural Gas Policy Act of 1978 have natural gas producers in a costly financial dilemma. A recent circuit court of appeals decision allows for a different method for the calculation of Btu values for gas. This dry method for Btu calculation gives a lower cost for natural gas and therefore cost pipelines an estimated one billion dollars in over payments. The court has declared that their decision is retroactive and that producers must pay the debt. Discussions from both sides are presented.
