Requirements
Comments
14) If you are requesting, pursuant to Section 56
of the OGCA, that the proposed order be
effective prior to the date the order is issued
but not prior to the date the application for
the order was made to the ERCB, a
discussion as to why the order should be
effective on the requested date, including
a) the steps that you have taken to market
your production, and
b) an indication of whether or not your well
is tied into a gathering system and, if not,
why the order should be made on a
retroactive basis.
15) If you are requesting, pursuant to Section
55(2) of the OGCA, for the ERCB to set the
price that the common purchaser shall pay
for the gas to be taken under a common
purchaser order,
a) a discussion and documentation
indicating what negotiations were carried
out respecting the price to be paid and
where the impasse lies, and
b) a statement of the price you propose be
paid for the gas, together with a detailed
discussion of how this price was
obtained and why you believe the price
proposed is fair in comparison to the
price offered.
If you are not asking the ERCB to set the price
of the gas to be taken by the common
purchaser, you do not need to include the
information noted in item 15.
Your response to item 15(a) may be combined
with your response to item 8. Normally, the
ERCB would consider setting the price to be
paid for the gas to be sold under a common
purchaser order only if there were a specific
dispute on the price issue. Therefore, if you
are requesting the ERCB to set the price, you
must show that this is a specific area of
dispute and that you have made substantial
efforts to negotiate a resolution to the matter
prior to making this request.
