Natural gas producer/purchaser contracts and their potential impacts on the natural gas market: an analysis of the Natural Gas Policy Act and several alternatives. Part II
Pricing provisions and take-or-pay provisions in natural gas producer/purchaser contracts are analyzed, along with the potential impact of contract provisions on natural gas prices in the event of wellhead price deregulation. Among the topics addressed are the current structure of pricing provisions in natural gas contracts and how these provisions differ by Natural Gas Policy Act Section, contract vintage, and market; and the potential for marked price increases when deregulation occurs. Three appendixes discuss the methodology used, the data collection operations, and compare this study with the results of other similar studies. This report is Part II (out of IV) of an analysis of the Natural Gas Polich Act and several alternatives. 2 figures, 23 tables.
