" in texas , i think we ' ve got a pretty good system , " he said . in san francisco on tuesday , the california public utilities commission unanimously approved electricity rate increases of up to 46 percent to try to head off blackouts this summer by keeping the state ' s two biggest utilities from going under . when california officials set up deregulation they allowed the price of wholesale electricity to rise but capped the amount companies could charge customers , skilling said . socal edison and pacific gas & electric say they have lost more than $ 13 billion since last summer because they haven ' t been able to pass on the high cost of wholesale electricity . skilling said texans are in a much better position and shouldn ' t worry that their state ' s deregulation would be like the california experience .

Subject: software license vince ( ii ) d - g is unable to provide effective technical support ; or ( iii ) if d - g agrees to release it sooner . before i have our attorney add these things to the agreement , we need to discuss the escrow situation . vince mentioned that you had suggested that your attorney keep the software in escrow . is your attorney a u . s . attorney ? it seems like i may have recalled that way back in march you might have said you had a friend or relative that was an attorney . is that the same person ? does this attorney work for a large firm , small firm , or solo practitioner ? basically , if you could just provides some additional information about your attorney , i would appreciate it . we normally would use an escrow company to put the software in escrow . we have dealt with a company here in the u . s . called dsi technology . i will check into that pending your answer regarding your attorney . once we decide what we want to do regarding placing the software in escrow , we will red - line the agreement to reflect such changes and e - mail it back to you for your review . i look forward to hearing from you . karla feldman enron corp . contract administration ( 713 ) 646 - 7554

Subject: folks , attached is a conservative ( and fairly rough ) estimate of the size of the petrochemicals and refining market that is potentially exposed to prolonged drought in southern texas which could result in extremely low riverflows and possible curtailed production . the total annual revenue generated by these assets is no less than $ 20 b and could be substantially higher as the estimated capacity on some of these facilties is likely understated and other facilties not yet identified are likely to be vulnerable . note that this data does not include any facilities in the industrial complexes from houston northward and eastward as they are much less likely to experience such a drought - induced interruption . the only facilties identified thus far lie on or near the following rivers : brazos , colorado , navidad , guadalupe , and nueces . please let me know if you have any questions / comments as we work to determine whether or not a low riverflow insurance product is viable . thanks , charlie

" states the following . for example , if the actual margin is $ 1 . 25 / mmbtu for a given month , then paradigm will pay enron $ 0 . 13 / mmbtu . alternatively , if the actual margin is $ 2 . 00 / mmbtu , then enron will pay paradigm $ 0 . 62 / mmbtu . i believe , if i am reading it correctly , the money should flow in the opposite direction , namely : for example , if the actual margin is $ 1 . 25 / mmbtu for a given month , then enron will pay paradigm $ 0 . 13 / mmbtu . alternatively , if the actual margin is $ 2 . 00 / mmbtu , then paradigm will pay enron $ 0 . 62 / mmbtu . am i right ? again , thank you very much for your time . - resume . doc

Subject: re : alex ' s paper comments : 1 . in the sentence between eqn . 3 and eqn . 4 , i think " annualized volatility " should replace " annualized standard deviation . " 2 . as to the comment , " immediately we see something quite counter - intuitive . " i would disagree . i think that its quite intuitive that this model should get closer to the black - scholes price as what is defined as the " jump " component becomes just part of the main price distribution , which happens if we define a jump to be only a 1 - sigma event . the table does show , however , that the results of using this model are very sensitive to exactly how you choose to define a " jump " ( i . e . 2 - sigma or 3 - sigma . . . events ) , and this is one difficulty in using the model in practice . 3 . in the paragraph after the table , i don ' t understand the argument about hedging the option . especially about buying a swap which would pay on the difference between the strike and fs . this seems non - sensical . 4 . i could not follow the logic of the last two sentences of the article , so this point should probably be explained more clearly . - - stinson vince j kaminski 08 / 18 / 2000 08 : 15 am to : grant masson / hou / ect @ ect , stinson gibner / hou / ect @ ect , alex huang / corp / enron @ enron cc : subject : alex ' s paper minor changes i made to alex ' s paper . vince

Subject: re : aluminium asian digital options anjam , we can use moment matching to find the " effective " volatility and dividend yield for the average . then we can apply the european digital option formula . attached please find the c - code i did for asian spread option , when i find the effective vol and drift for both averages then find the option value by calling the european spread option . you can do just the same for the asian digital option . it would be nice to do a monte - carlo , just checking the accuracy of the approximation . it was nice to have you here , we are impressed by the work you have done . keep up the good work . zimin enron capital & trade resources corp . - europe from : anjam ahmad 07 / 27 / 2000 10 : 14 am to : zimin lu / hou / ect @ ect cc : subject : aluminium asian digital options hi zimin , russell placket of mg metals just talked to me about the issue of pricing a strip of twelve monthly asian digital options on lme aluminium . as i understand , the payoff to the customer is a fixed cash amount that wil be paid if the average of the closing prices of aluminium for a month are greater than the strike agreed in advance , where holiday days do not contribute to the average . russell mentioned that this would be a set of 12 monthly options starting in jan - 01 , and that the lme price for jan - 01 of $ 1572 . 5 ( which is the future converging to the spot price on the 3 rd wednesday in jan 01 ) can be used as a proxy / estimate for the average for the month . do you have a model for asian digitals or should i proceed with monte carlo to price this , maybe using european digital option model as control variate ? thanks , anjam x 35383

Subject: uk rpi model hi zimin ! please find attached for your review the uk rpi model , derived by bootstrapping rpi swaps . it ' s a very simple model and here are its specifics : swap structure payment : semi / semi act / 365 f > > yoyukrpi = ( ukrpi ( p - 2 ) / ukrpi ( p - 14 ) - 1 ) / 2 > p = payment month > the first payment is the latest known historical rpi , february 2000 , 2 . 32 % . assumptions * constant cashflows between the quoted years ( as opposed to interpolating swaps which distorts the curve a lot ) . this explains the atrocious look of the " raw " curve . it is then smoothed with a macro , which anjam wrote . * mid point of the swaps is used for deriving the curve ; * discount rate is libor and i solve for the coupon rate , which is the rpi yoy rate ; * the above is solved separately for each quoted period ( e . g . 2 yrs , 5 yrs ) and rpi rates are determined for the incremental portion . by forecasting rpi in the above method we are able to lock in and deliver the forecasted levels . looking forward to your comments and seeing you in london ! best regards , martina x 34327

Subject: re : progress steve , thanks a lot . i think that having the pseudo code will go a long way towards understanding how the system works and making sure that there are no bugs in translation of a business problem ( for example , complicated credit insurance deals with multiple triggers and conditionality ) into the code . regarding tanya ' s attitude . just a few points . 1 . i don ' t think she has the skills to do the system administrator ' s work and she does not have the necessary privileges . this explains why she keeps asking winston for help . it ' s not that the work is beneath her . 2 . some members of tanya ' s team came to me complaining about winston . he effectively told them to go away and work on the " research projects " and that he would take care of the it issues . i don ' t think that it ' s just tanya ' s issue , though i agree that a more outgoing personality would be helpful . 3 . the reality of this situation is that the internal customers beat on tanya and me whenever there is any performance problems and / or they intuitively disagree with the results of a run . they could not care less about the demarcation line between it and research . they also want tanya to sign off on the model and she cannot do it without full access to the code . the bottom line is that we are in full agreement : tanya and winston have to work as a team and i shall work on my end to make sure that it happens . credit is emerging as a critical issue for enron for the next few weeks and the system cannot fail . vince from : stephen stock / enron @ enronxgate on 01 / 11 / 2001 08 : 23 am to : vince j kaminski / hou / ect @ ect cc : subject : progress vince , i got feedback from the lunchtime research meeting that you were talking about some specific solutions to performance of it systems . . . in particular distributed processing . also i heard that you had concerns about the use of multiple languages etc . . . . both of these sound like what i was discussing with you on previous occasions . . . do you feel the need to discuss these further ? the multi - language issue isn ' t really that much of an issue , as the current system is 98 % java right now . although i am a big fan of c / c + + ( it is my main development skill ) , i am also very aware that java is a much more evolved and robust language . i had serious doubts about the performance , but i ' ve had a review conducted , and the results are showing the sun unix implementation to be nearly as fast and in some cases faster than c / c + + because of something they call hot - spot technology . ( its an instruction caching technique , i believe ) . the concerns i expressed to you , were really about how technical people justify the use of a language on the strength of a relatively meaningless metric like portability . on the issue of distributed processing . . . the original review i had conducted by our architecture group pointed to that as a solution , and as zhiyong wei is already working on global valuation project , winston is actively working with zhiyong to see if he can model the var architecture on that , and also to find a common valuation piece between the systems . i ' d like the opportunity to talk to you about these issues if you have some time over the next few days ? also , i sat in on the tanya / winston meeting yesterday and as per our discussion at the elevator , i attempted to help her argument by suggesting to all present that she was trying to perform triage on the code . . . i . e . seperating research domain problems from it problems . she said that stepping through code was the only real way in which she could get a feel for where performance bottlenecks were . i asked her how she would measure that , and she said she would instrument the code manually by inserting timing elements at strategic points . i mentioned that a profiling tool could probably do this job for her . tanya again said that stepping through code is the only way she can get an idea of the code , and that studying documentation wasn ' t enough . about 6 weeks ago , i commissioned a team to document the system down to psuedo - code level and will be able to provide this to you and your team soon . ( in fact i ' ve asked for a draft copy to be given to tanya right now ) , and winston is also working on a draft research / it " working together " document , which will identify how the exchange of information takes place . tanya also gave the impression that she wants a dedicated it developer to do all the environment setup for her , because she doesn ' t really want to have to do that . i think that this is probably the root cause of the issue . the it guys are working very hard and her handling of the situation is not good , as it gives the impression that this kind of work is beneath her . she is claiming that they are un - cooperative . . . . they are claiming that she continually asks the same questions about set - up over and over again , and doesn ' t seem to want to learn how to do it . winston on the other hand , could be more proactive in determining what is a business related model issue and an it issue and ask for help from research . i think you debbie and i need to work quite hard to get them to play nicely . i have asked tanya and winston to go ahead and work very closely together over the next few days . . . . and debbie brackett and i will review their progress on friday . in the meantime l ' ll be looking at setting up a working test environment that doesn ' t involve my main quant guys in day to to day setup issues as a longer term solution . regards steve

Subject: re : re : software license stinson , i ' m not sure who was going to handle this project - tom moore or laine borgman . so , by this e - mail , i will ask the appropriate person to respond to you . i have also given tom ' s name and e - mail address to ms . geman . they will just need to change in article 17 of the software license agreement the response time from 2 to 3 days and the software license part should be done . the only thing that would leave then is ms . geman ' s response regarding the escrow agreement as to whether it was agreeable to her and her law firm ( who would be holding the source code in escrow ) . i ' m not sure whether ms . geman has responded to tom about that or not . i have sent electronic copies of all of the documents to both tom and laine to finalize once ms . geman responded . tom can be reached at : x 55552 laine can be reached at : x 56470 thanks , karla stinson gibner @ ect 10 / 20 / 00 01 : 39 pm to : karla feldman / enron communications @ enron communications cc : vince j kaminski / hou / ect @ ect subject : re : re : software license karla , sorry for the delay . i have been out for the last three weeks . vince tells me that he has talked to ms . geman and they agreed on a time of 3 business days for a response time . is there someone else now handling this project ? thanks , stinson from : karla feldman on 09 / 27 / 2000 04 : 24 pm to : gemanix @ aol . com @ enron cc : vince j kaminski / hou / ect @ ect , stinson gibner / hou / ect @ ect subject : re : re : software license ms . geman , i apologize for the delay , but i finally have drafted an escrow agreement for placing the software in escrow with your attorneys . please review and have your attorneys review and let me know if it is acceptable . i will be leaving the department i have been working in and moving to a different enron subsidiary on october 13 . if at all possible , could we try to get the software license agreement and the escrow agreement wrapped up before i leave so that someone else does not have to try to pick up where i left off ? i think we are just about in agreement on the software license portion . seems like the only outstanding question had to do with your concern regarding providing a response time of 2 business days . i do not have any answers regarding that - maybe vince kaminski or stinson gibner can respond on this issue . i look forward to hearing from you and trying to get this finalized within the next 2 weeks if possible . thank you , karla feldman enron corp .

Subject: re : lng may 19 decision john , sorry for the confusion . this is a second tanker on which very few details are available . the lng group is working as we speak to provide some information for joe sutton before his departure for paris this ( tuesday ) afternoon . there is no dash on this 2 nd tanker yet . i asked dave gorte on monday to send me one and was not told that he can provide me with the mystic lady dash as the closest substitute . vince john sherriff 05 / 16 / 2000 12 : 20 am to : vince j kaminski / hou / ect @ ect cc : subject : re : lng may 19 decision vince - thanks for the update . what i am not sure of is what if any decision has to be made on may 19 . it seems to me that the mystic lady and elba island deals have already been approved and executed - but it is quite likely i am missing a detail or two . john vince j kaminski 15 / 05 / 2000 17 : 14 to : john sherriff / lon / ect @ ect cc : vince j kaminski / hou / ect @ ect , david gorte / hou / ect @ ect , rick buy / hou / ect @ ect , ted murphy / hou / ect @ ect subject : re : lng may 19 decision john , this is the update on what i have done for the lng transactions . 1 . i was not involved in the lng ship project . i shall read the dash and give you my comments . without looking at the details , i think that the decision to charter a tanker removes one significant risk we have at the elba island project ( please , see point 2 ) . 2 . elba island . i am working with doug rotenberbg , brad hitch , scott earnest ( sally beck ' s organization ) and rac to set up the book for the elba island transaction . the next step will be to expand the book to capture all the enron ' s lng - related positions in one place and to look for natural risk offsets and possible hedges . a working group is meeting to close a few remaining gaps tomorrow ( tuesday ) at 8 : 30 . a few comments on the book design and my view of the project : a . the current thinking is that lng will be sourced for the elba island facility by buying marginal cargos on the fob basis . marginal cargos will represent supply from excess capacity that has not been committed under long - term contracts or became available due to some short - term frictions . the fob cargos are typically selling at a significant discount to the long - term contract prices . the economics of the deal , as represented by the book we are setting up , will reflect the assumption that not only we can locate marginal cargos but that we shall be able to do it on a regular basis , arranging shipping and coordinating the facility schedule and natural gas transactions in the us . in other words , we have a significant logistical and operational risk in this transaction . b . the transaction will cover the period of 17 years ( with an extension option of 5 years ) . even if we can lock - in the lng volumes over this time period , we have no ability to lock - in the other side of the spread ( us gas prices ) for such a long tenor . this is essentially a tolling transaction with exposure to the lng - nat gas spread and i would not recommend locking - in only one leg of the spread . one solution would be to cover , let ' s say , 50 % of he lng volumes for the first 5 years and lock - in the nat gas side on the us market side . c . the book we are setting up will be based on many managerial assumptions regarding sources of lng , shipping rates , schedules , etc . i would set up a big prudence reserve in case we mark it to market . d . my group will work on valuation of some options we have in the elba island deal ( that are good for enron ) and on the hedging strategy for the lng positions . long - term lng contracts are typically based on the japanese crude cocktail that correlates very well with brent . vince john sherriff 05 / 14 / 2000 01 : 40 am to : vince j kaminski / hou / ect @ ect cc : lauren urquhart / lon / ect @ ect subject : lng may 19 decision vince i haven ' t spoken to you for awhile but hope the world is treating you well . anyway with greg moving to his new role i have ( i hope only temporarily ) staff trading oversight for the eastern hemishere plus lng . i understand that your group is taking a first cut at developing curves for lng and lng ship values . i also understand that another lng ship decision is on the dockets for may 19 ( not very far away ) . anway i understand this is a big decision but i still have gotten very little info yet . can you please let me know where you stand now ? i will ask my assistant lauren to set up a time that i can speak with you in the next couple of days and if you have anything for me to review before then she can get it faxed to me as well . look forward to connecting with you vince . john
