This form is used when Owners desire to consolidate, pool, and unitize Lands and Leases to facilitate the exploration for development of, and production of gas and associated hydrocarbons. Under the terms and provisions of each of the Leases, the Owners of the Leases have the right to consolidate, pool, and unitize all of the Lands, and the leasehold and royalty in the Lands, into one consolidated, pooled, and unitized area for the exploration, development, and production of gas.
Connecticut Designation of Gas Unit is a regulatory system implemented by the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP) to ensure efficient management and utilization of natural gas resources within the state. The designation aims to establish standardized units for measuring gas quantities, promoting accuracy, transparency, and consistency in gas transactions throughout Connecticut. The primary purpose of the Connecticut Designation of Gas Unit is to provide a common measurement system, allowing for a fair and equitable assessment of gas reserves, production, consumption, and transportation within the state. This system ensures that gas quantities are accurately reported by all parties involved, such as gas producers, suppliers, distributors, and end-users. The DEEP has established two main types of Connecticut Designation of Gas Units: 1. Standard Gas Unit (SGU): The SGU is a standardized measurement unit used for reporting gas quantities. It is defined as one million British thermal units (MM Btu) of gas at a pressure of 14.73 pounds per square inch absolute (Asia) and a temperature of 60 degrees Fahrenheit. This unit provides a consistent basis for comparing gas volumes among different sources, facilitating effective resource management and fair pricing. 2. Subdivision Units: Within the standard SGU, there are additional subdivision units used to provide more detailed measurements. These include: a. Cubic Foot (CF): One cubic foot of gas at standard temperature and pressure (STP). b. A Thousand Cubic Feet (MCF): One thousand cubic feet of gas at STP (often used for residential and small-scale commercial consumption). c. A Million Cubic Feet (MCF): One million cubic feet of gas at STP (commonly used to express larger volumes of gas). These units allow for greater granularity when measuring and reporting gas quantities, accommodating varying scales and types of gas consumption, production, and transportation within Connecticut. The Connecticut Designation of Gas Unit plays a crucial role in the energy sector of Connecticut by ensuring accuracy and consistency in gas quantity measurements, promoting fair market practices, and facilitating reliable resource planning. Adherence to this designation is essential for all stakeholders involved in the gas industry to ensure transparency and preserve the integrity of gas transactions within the state.
