This CO2 Management Service satisfies the needs of the parties, and provides a number of benefits.

Customers now have the option not to build costly CO2 extraction facilities as well as see the potential reduction of CO2 content in the Alberta System from the current level. For more details about the service, please refer to the October issue of Update.

Since the Alberta Energy and Utilities Board (EUB) approved the CO2 Management Service in late September, we have had the opportunity to discuss any concerns customers may have with the new service, and have begun the implementation process.

What's new?

• The stations with CO2 content in excess of our 2% tariff spec ('CO2 stations') were identified
• All Common Stream Operators (CSO's) for the stations were contacted (letters and dialogue).
• We have assisted the participants at these CO2 stations in identifying service requirements and executing contracts.
• Training information and sample allocation forms were faxed to the CSO Production Accountants for CO2 stations. This information is also available on our Transmission web site.
• We have developed the systems to manage allocations and contract data for the CO2 Management Service.

• The service begins for the January 2003 production month.
• We will fax the CO2 Allocation Form (CAF) to the CO2 stations by February 10, 2003 at 17:00 (MST).
• Completed allocation forms are due back to TransCanada on February 18, 2003 at 12:00 noon (MST).
• Monthly distribution and submission deadlines for the CAF's will follow the current Alberta Gas Balance Schedule.
