This paper reports that WGM, an affiliate of Williams Cos., Tulsa, owner of two large U.S. interstate gas pipeline networks, has explained a special independent producer program (IPP) to Midcontinent operators. Centerpiece of the IPP is a netback price program WGM contends will give small independents a chance to obtain higher prices for their production and compete with majors and large independents by pooling supplies. Some industry analysts see large market aggregators, especially those affiliated with pipelines as the big winners in the aftermath of Order 636, the huge Federal Energy Regulatory Commission rulemaking designed to unbundle pipeline gas transportation services and complete the transition to a deregulated gas industry in the U.S.
