Jeff, We have never met, but I have read and enjoyed your articles on Enron's bold business vision. Stan Marek, head of Marek Brothers, in Houston is a good friend of mine, and he suggested I call you directly, but I think an email may be more efficient. I am CTO and Senior VP of R&D for a software company called Hyprotech. We are second in the global market for process simulation technology, but I think first in innovation. One of Hyprotech's philosophies is to "model to the business boundary". This allows a business leader to have as clearer vision of the technical behavior of an asset to any depth and fidelity that is appropriate per the desired modeling investment. We do whole-asset models of refineries, chemical plants and power plants. Also, Hyprotech is the only company with the full technical capability of modeling the entire business asset for oil and gas operations from sand face to custody transfer (well-bore, riser, piping network, topside processing, transmission, separation, gas plant, compression, metering). As a result, Hyprotech has 80% of this market. Hyprotech is deeply into real-time online modeling for decision support and optimization. We have been discussing with gas storage industry the possibility of basing trading on a full dynamic model of the facility. The business motivator is that a full scope model coupled to an contract and business parameters allows for a better estimate of the sensitivities of a trade. I am a Enron stockholder and naturally thought that perhaps the same methodology can be applied as a real-time model-based data filter coupled to Enron's current decision support models for trading. The real-time model is a virtual facility (much as a flight simulator is a virtual airplane) and should increase understanding, open up new possibilities, reduce risk and increase agility in trades. My question is who at Enron the most appropriate person for discussing details and practicalities of this concept for your company? Thanks for your attention,
Answer: Real-time Online Modeling and Optimization of Dynamic Gas Network s for Trading
Here is an email: Lisa, As i was pondering the meeting last night going home in my car, I realized that I forgot to talk about 2 people, including regulatory and your personal efforts. I apologize for that, it was unintentional and I hope you realize how important you and your efforts are to EGM and Enron. I could not read my notes very well due to the extremely heavy lighting - that didn't appear on my notes just on me. Thanks,

Q: ADesell@nyiso.com writes to the NYISO_TECH_EXCHANGE Discussion List: As directed by FERC in its September 4, 2001 Order in docket ER01-2536-000, the NYISO has completed the calculation of the revenue neutral translation into Unforced Capacity terms of the In-City $105 cap applicable to Generators subject to market power mitigation measures. In the September 4, 2001 Order, the Commission decided that the "translated in-city price cap is to be fixed at an amount determined on the day of the first in-city capacity auction under UCAP methodology" using data from the most recent 12-month period. On the basis of Operating Data received by the NYISO, the Capacity-weighted EFORd for all Generators subject to market power mitigation measures for the 2001-2002 Winter Capability Period Auction is 7.04%. Thus, the In-City cap under the UCAP market design, including the Capability Period Auction scheduled for October 1, 2001, is $112.95.

IN: I go away for a day and come back to yet another $40 million of PGE exposure. I guess the lesson is to not go away. Where does this end? This is a painful way to learn about derivative credit exposure. Please inform all "deal doers" at EES that they better have RAC review their deals (Mercury) in detail before they sign. This is more out of control than anything else we have at Enron. Rick

Hello, girls. If Stacey can do it, so can I! Here are the latest pictures of Cameron. These were taken right before the Baptism of my sister's third (can you believe it??) child, so he is all dressed up. I hope all is well with everyone. Love, Michelle

After a little more digging, I've found that the deal NYMEX was referring to is the same one we dealt with a month ago. I spoke with Tracy Green, one of our contacts at Avista, and she had been dealing with the same issue all day. Apparently, when Avista first incorrectly reported that we hadn't made a payment, it set off a domino effect of doubts that seems to still be falling. So NYMEX called EDF Mann, our futures clearing broker, today to assure that payment would be made today.
