Sec. 91.183. RIGHTS OF PURCHASERS OF NATIVE GAS
-
(a) In the event there are remaining reserves of native gas in the storage facility which are dedicated to a purchaser and the purchaser and storer are unable to agree on an equitable settlement of rights with respect to the remaining native gas within a period of time that will prevent interference with the operation of the storage facility, the storer or purchaser may apply to the commission for an adjudication concerning remaining reserves of native gas.
(b) Upon application, the commission shall direct a settlement of remaining reserves of native gas that is equitable to all parties, but which does not interfere with the public benefits arising from the operation of the storage facility.
(c) In addition to any other disposition that is equitable to all parties, the commission may make a finding of the quantity of remaining recoverable native gas and an allocation of future production on a reasonable production schedule and order delivery to the purchaser by the storer of the amounts of native gas that the commission finds would have been taken by the purchaser during the term of the purchase agreement.
