The initial members in this group have been drawn from Enron's numerous legal groups in order to gain a broader perspective. Each of these members will provide support to this new group in addition to their current responsibilities. Within RAC, Michael Tribolet will focus on distressed counterparties, in conjunction with Bill Bradford, who continues to manage the Credit Risk Management group. Please join us in supporting the efforts of this new group.	[email protected]	All Enron Worldwide Special@ENRON <??SAll Enron Worldwide Special@ENRON>

arnold-j/deleted_items/153.	subject: Security Update content: Enron has been increasing security at its facilities around the world. Som= e of the changes took effect immediately (e.g. additional security personne= l) and some are phasing in. While not all of the changes will be visible, = there are a few that will have an impact on everyday activities. In all th= e steps we take and recommendations we make, we will be making our faciliti= es and systems more secure and endeavoring to increase your sense of securi= ty, while doing our best to minimize disruption to our day-to-day business. Primary responsibility for Enron Corp. Security resides in our business con= trols organization. You can contact this organization through their websit= e (<http://home.enron.com/security>), by phone (713-345-2804), or by email = ([email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>). John B= rindle, Senior Director, Business Controls, leads this organization. Pleas= e feel free to provide John and his team with your comments and questions, = or to report security threats. We have two areas to update you on: changes in the access procedures for t= he Enron Center Campus in Houston and changes to our travel advisory. Access to the Enron Center Over the next few days, the following access control procedures will be ins= tituted at the Enron Center (and other facilities where practical): ?=09As employees swipe their badges at the card readers to enter the Enron = Center, a guard will match the photo on the badge to the bearer. ?=09Employees and contractors who forget their badges must present a valid = picture ID to obtain access to the Enron Center (U.S. driver's license, U.S= . or foreign passport, or some form of U.S. federal, state or local identif= ication).=20 ?=09Visitors to the Enron Center must produce a valid photo ID when signing= in at the lobby reception desk and must completely fill out the visitor ca= rd. Adult visitors without a valid photo ID (U.S. driver's license, U.S. o= r foreign passport, or some form of U.S. federal, state or local identifica= tion) will not be allowed access to the Enron Center. ?=09Visitors to Enron facilities must be escorted by an Enron employee or b= adged contractor at all times. ?=09Visitors to the Enron Center will be met in the lobby by an Enron emplo= yee or badged contractor, signed into a visitor's log at the lobby receptio= n area by the employee or badged contractor, and escorted to their appointm= ent. At the conclusion of the appointment, the visitor will be escorted to= the lobby by an employee or badged contractor, the visitor badge collected= , and the visitor signed out in the log at the plaza reception area by the = escorting employee or badged contractor. ?=09Employees are also being asked to participate in the security of their = workplace by following these guidelines; report suspicious activity to Secu= rity (phone 3-6300), do not open secured doors for individuals unknown to y= ou or hold doors open, allowing "tail gating" by others. These will be the first in a series of new security procedures to be instit= uted at Enron. We ask that all employees be patient during congested times= in the lobby. As we proceed and obtain increased guard personnel and equi= pment, we expect the inconvenience to decrease. We hope you understand the= se measures are being instituted for the security of all our employees. =09 Travel Advisory Update With the beginning of retaliatory strikes, we have two important recommenda= tions: ?=09While the retaliatory strikes are ongoing, corporate security recommend= s that travel through or to the Middle East be avoided. We continue to str= ongly recommend that all travel during this time to Afghanistan, Yemen, Pak= istan, Indonesia, Iran, Iraq, Sudan, Somalia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Geo= rgia, and the Kyrgyz Republic be canceled. In addition, we recommend that = planned travel to Egypt, Israel, Gaza/West Bank, Jordan, Lebanon, Saudi Ara= bia, Syria, and Algeria be very carefully considered. ?=09For non-U.S. citizens traveling in the United States, corporate securit= y recommends that you carry documentation. There have been several recent = reports of non-U.S. citizens who reside in the United States being question= ed and asked for documentation when boarding U.S. domestic flights. As a re= sult, we suggest that all non-U.S. citizens who currently reside in the Uni= ted States - and who do not have Permanent Resident Alien status - carry th= eir passport, Form I-94 and Form I-797 at all times. We would also suggest= that Permanent Resident Aliens carry their Permanent Resident (Green) Card= as proof of their status as a precautionary measure. It appears that Immi= gration Officials may be applying a section of the Immigration and National= ity Act that requires individuals over the age of 18 to carry his/her "regi= stration" documentation with them at all times. This can include a Permanen= t Resident Card, Form I-94 card, Employment Authorization Card, Border Cros= sing Card, or a Temporary Resident Card. Immigration Officials have not his= torically been asking domestic travelers for "registration" documentation, = but in light of the heightened security measures and current atmosphere, it= would be best to be prepared with all of your documentation proving your c= urrent lawful status. We will keep you apprised of new information and developments on the Corpor= ate Security website and by e-mail, as appropriate.

arnold-j/deleted_items/160.	subject: Kinetic Clippings October-November 2001 content: Kinetic Clippings October-November 2001 This eNewsletter brings you the latest information on the emerging workplace, prepared by the friendly folks at Kinetic Workplace. Our goal is to provide you with a quick look at trends in the new workplace, to help you improve the performance of your company's people, technology and space. Clips in this issue: 1. Discipline Above All Else! 2. Officing Alternatives Getting a Second Look in the Aftermath 3. Should Employees Pay to Work from Home? 4. Think Global 5. RSI: Politicians Argue "Is There a Link to Computer Use?" 6. Is "Big Brother" such a bad thing when it comes to home safety? 7. Free High-Speed Wireless Net Access? 8. More Trouble for DSL 9. Tech Talk for Your Home Office KineticNEWS Kinetic Workplace Partners with Teltone to provide telework solutions http://www.kineticworkplace.com/html/oct0201.htm -------------- Clip summaries are below, along with a link you can click on to get to the full article. If you can't click on the link, copy and paste it into your web browser. See below to unsubscribe from this newsletter. -------------- PRACTICES 1. Discipline above all else! Now that technological advances and the globalization of the economy have assured virtual teaming a place of permanence in today's business world, the task at hand is to make this brand of teamwork as effective as possible. Authors Jon Katzenbach and Douglas Smith emphasize discipline as the key to virtual team success. This article outlines a number of helpful suggestions from their latest book, "The Discipline of Teams," including establishing clear goals, setting measurable objectives, and agreeing upon specific work rules. http://www.kinetic-clippings.com/clippings/1001/clip1.htm 2. Officing Alternatives Getting a Second Look in the Aftermath "Necessity is the mother of invention." It may also be the mother of acceptance-prompting people who might otherwise disregard the new or the different to give it a try when there are few other alternatives. While Telework and other Alternative Office concepts are not new by any means, many employers and employees alike, affected by world-changing events like the terrible tragedies of September 11th are looking for creative strategies to get people back to work until they can get back to their offices. http://www.kinetic-clippings.com/clippings/1001/clip2.htm 3. Should Employees Pay to Work from Home? For employers who make the commitment to develop and deploy a Telework program for their employees, the costs associated with adequately equipping remote workers may be slightly higher than for their in-office counterparts. However, in contrast to the costs of providing office space, these expenses are truly insignificant. This article is an example of how Siemen's decided to disburse home office allowances. http://www.kinetic-clippings.com/clippings/1001/clip3.htm 4. Think Global In Fortune Magazine's Sept. 3rd Edition, IDRC presented an in-depth look at the value of an "integrated workplace"; one that supports technology, services and people, in a changing economy. Check out this feature to learn more, and to see results from Kinetic Workplace's State of the Industry survey. http://www.kinetic-clippings.com/clippings/1001/clip4.htm -------------- DESIGN 5. RSI: Politicians argue, "Is there a link to computer use?" As politicians continue the battle over federal ergonomic regulations in the workplace, scientists are waging their own fight over the cause of the repetitive stress injuries (RSI), whose incidence such regulations are aimed at reducing. Some researchers argue that, contrary to popular belief, there is not a link between heavy computer use and RSI, particularly carpal tunnel syndrome. Other researchers point to a large body of research documenting such a link. This article reviews evidence on both sides of the issue. http://www.kinetic-clippings.com/clippings/1001/clip5.htm 6. Is "Big Brother" such a bad thing when it comes to home safety? While many companies that allow telework focus on the safety and security of their networks and data, the issue of the worker's physical safety in the home office is often overlooked. The lines of responsibility are not clear, leaving workers uncertain about what they need to do and companies fearful of being perceived as being "Big Brother" if they intrude too much into their worker's homes. Jeff Zbar points out the need to ensure that your Home Office is safe and secure, and provides a security check list for the home office, and a short questionnaire to test your home office's security and safety. These three articles underscore the need for teleworkers to have a formalized policy that clearly outlines both their and their employer's responsibilities in providing a safe and secure home office. Addressing these issues up front and in writing eliminates any uncertainty. http://www.kinetic-clippings.com/clippings/1001/clip6.htm -------------- TECHNOLOGY 7. Free High-Speed Wireless Net Access? With the demise of Ricochet, the high-speed wireless access carrier, some bandwidth junkies have turned to free wireless networks. These "freenets" are set up by users via the Wi-Fi standard and cable or DSL modem sharing. Cable carriers call them illegal, while users say it's a solution to the last mile problem. http://www.kinetic-clippings.com/clippings/1001/clip7.htm 8. More Trouble for DSL With the demise of several providers, the DSL equipment market is shrinking, pushing users towards lower cost cable modems provided by more stable companies. This may impact which DSL equipment provider you choose for your remote access solution, as there may be other vendors exiting the market should the downturn continue. http://www.kinetic-clippings.com/clippings/1001/clip8.htm 9.

In testing the equipment today, I realized for the first time that our fiber feed involved that big black box that you've undoubtedly noticed. I was unaware that that would be necessary. We really view this as temporary because we are planning to move all video activity to the new building before the end of the year. However, if you would prefer, I can request to have the box moved out and a fixture put in your wall. Thanks again, John. Vance Meyer	[email protected]	[email protected]

This is unacceptable. -----Original Message----- From: Abramo, Caroline Sent: Sunday, October 07, 2001 11:22 PM To: Lagrasta, Fred Cc: Dyk, Russell; Zivic, Robyn Subject: Back office issues Fred- There are a number of issues we need to address with back office procedures immediately. We are losing money on avoidable problems and gaining a bad reputation in the market. Lets get Derek and Michelle together Tuesday afternoon. 2 of our counterparties are writing letters of complaint.. here's a sample of some of the quotes we have heard from the 10 counterparties we have added in the last 6 months. "I shouldn't have to spend my time decomposing the invoices and confirmations you send out" "It has been 10 days since we traded and we haven't received a shred of paper to give us the details of the trade" "We are being told in a confirm something different than we are being invoiced for" "We did not trade 300 contracts per day, it was per month - do you guys even think before you type" "I am a CFO and an accountant and I can't decipher what you are trying to confirm here" From a business dinner where a client of ours was speaking casually to large industrials and endusers. One, upon the mentioning of B2B exchanges said "they WILL NOT ever trade on EOL again because the backoffice procedure was such a nightmare.. they couldn't rely on the accuracy or timeliness of the confirm. This was a captive client who and needs to trade... who will not show us their flow again. The latest is the most disturbing: "we just want to do a small trade to test your system. We have heard it is a nightmare but want to see for ourselves - I mean how difficult can it be to book the purchase of 50 lots of crude" And still 5 days later they do not have one paper to show the details, not one phone call to confirm the trade...nothing. We even warned the BO that this was a new customer and to make best eforts to make sure the process runs smoothly and efficiently. Well, clearly we failed We do not understand what is going on in the back office. Is it that they are too disconnected from our daily operations to understand how integral their accurracy is to our business? Is there too much turnover? How are they trained? Who is in charge of the "backoffice"? There seems to be a different manager for every step of the process.. who co-ordinates all their efforts? Does anyone care? Ok.. I'll stop.. For our part, we have Michelle coming up to NY for a week in December (we wanted this to happen as soon as she started but did not work for her). We have to stop this before we lose clients (which we will). All the problems are being caused by the following: 1. Our inability to generate an accurate position report for our clients. This has already cost us money this year. Our clients do 10 trades a day.. they are constantly in and out of positions.. it is imperative that we get these right. As well, this report is our ONLY check to make sure deals are entered and entered correctly into the system. There are hundreds of books at Enron. We have postions on with dozens of them. We currenttly do not have an automated mechanism to pull deals from every book in one shot. We have to select books one by one.. this method will always result in books being ommmitted given our deal flow. Michelle is in charge of this process. We need a IT person on this yesterday. Michelle is spending most of her day verifying the validity of the report she generates. Robyn, Russell, and I check it everyday.. there are always mistakes. 2. There is a breakdown in the backoffice functions after Michelle collects the tickets we write and verbally confirms them. There is no check after they have been imput. There are ALWAYS imput errors. Michelle needs to check every deal after its entered into the system going forward. We also have NO set procedures for the bookings of deals. We have no idea where our job ends and the book admin's starts.. for non standard deals like gas dailies and swaptions we need to know the exact process from start to finish. 2a. Confirms are sent immediately after deals are entered.. what if deals are imput incorrectly? the confirm goes out anyway resulting in mass confusion at the client. Going forward, confirms need to be delayed until we can confirm that everything about the deal is correct. 2b. Invoicing.. there have been dozens of occassions where the amounts we are invoicing do not match the deals done.. 3. EOL- We are pushing hard to get counterparties on here.. we have signed Renaissance up (a 10B program fund) but I shudder to see how EOL will fair at these tasks. 4. Credit- All of our clients are margined. If deals are in the system incorrectly, the wrong MTM goes to the client.. another mis-match. We work closely with credit since we need to collect initial margin from some clients.. this amount changes daily- we need someone who can get on the phone with clients and explain these numbers through.. again, we are doing this now.

The effect of President Bush's recently proposed economic stimulus package is difficult to gauge given that consumer and corporate spending remain so unpredictable. Experts agree, however, that the timing of the stimulus will have a major impact on its success or failure.http://knowledge.wharton.upenn.edu/whatshot.cfm Finance and Investment Japan's Economic Outlook Remains Gloomy But Opportunities Exist for Investors Japan's stock market - and its economy - have been in a dismal state since the beginning of the 1990s. The Sept. 11 terrorist attacks in New York and Washington made matters worse, pushing the country into what analysts say is Japan's fourth recession in a decade. But Wharton faculty and outside market analysts add that some sectors of the Japanese economy should be attractive for long-term investors.http://knowledge.wharton.upenn.edu/articles.cfm?catid=1&articleid=445 Strategic Management What Webvan Could Have Learned from Tesco Webvan, the ambitious online grocer, once bragged that it would set a new standard for Internet retailing. As most people now know, for all its hubris the company has turned out to be one of the dot-com economy's most spectacular failures. After burning its way through $1.2 billion in capital, it declared bankruptcy in July. But does Webvan's collapse mean that shoppers dislike buying groceries online? For a part of the answer, look across the Atlantic to a Britain-based supermarket chain called Tesco. Its online arm, Tesco.com, will probably have revenues of $420 million this year.http://knowledge.wharton.upenn.edu/articles.cfm?catid=7&articleid=448 Finance and Investment Is Behavioral Finance a Growth Industry? Can psychology really help us understand financial markets? Yes, say many academics. The subdiscipline of behavioral finance - which argues that investors are not as rational as traditional theory assumes and that their biases can affect asset prices - has gained ground over the past five years. Although behavioral finance attracts powerful criticism - and at times is clearly been oversold -- it seems to be growing up. Experts at Wharton and other business schools provide some perspectives.http://knowledge.wharton.upenn.edu/articles.cfm?catid=1&articleid=444 Health Economics Prescription Drug Coverage for Seniors Faces Uncertain Future Less than a year ago, in the heat of the presidential campaign, it seemed almost certain that Medicare would undergo a major transformation that would provide prescription drug coverage to the program's 40 million seniors. But that was before an economic slowdown and the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. Now there are new, more urgent priorities and it's unclear just when the debate over drug coverage will again get underway.http://knowledge.wharton.upenn.edu/articles.cfm?catid=6&articleid=442 Public Policy and Management Are Government Bailouts Bad Business? Even the most cold-hearted free-marketer would concede the airlines got a tough break in the two-day grounding after the terrorist attacks. No manager could have been expected to anticipate events on the scale of Sept. 11, or to set aside enough money to cover the revenue shortfalls that followed. So a government bailout is a reasonable response, right? Not necessarily, say those who have studied past examples of government bailouts.http://knowledge.wharton.upenn.edu/articles.cfm?catid=9&articleid=446 Finance and Investment The Man Who Made Wall Street Finally Gets Credit When a book is entitled The Man Who Made Wall Street, you just don''t expect the sub-title to read: Anthony J.

By Andy Blamey 10/10/2001 Reuters English News Service (C) Reuters Limited 2001. LONDON, Oct 10 (Reuters) - Commodities trader Enron Metals plans to shed jobs as part of a Europe-wide staff reduction programme which should see the Enron Group cut 250 to 500 European jobs in total, the company said. "We have around 5,000 employees in Europe and we are seeking to cut our headcount here by between five and 10 percent," John Sherriff, president and CEO of Enron Europe, said in a statement. Enron Metals employees in London were told at a meeting on Tuesday that staff cuts of 10 percent to 20 percent would be required, trade sources said. The company is seeking volunteers to take redundancy, but if sufficient voluntary slots have not been filled by a deadline of October 19, Enron will opt for compulsory cuts, they added. An Enron spokeswoman declined to elaborate on the official statement. "Enron's business continues to grow in Europe in terms of traded volumes and numbers of transactions, but like any company we are constantly seeking ways to do more with less in order to maintain earnings growth," Sherriff said in the statement. "It is prudent for us to keep both a close eye on our costs and to continually review the skills and resources that are available to use to ensure that they are deployed in a way which will maximise earnings," he added. Market sources were not surprised by the move, citing testing conditions facing the metals trading sector as a whole. "At the moment you have low volumes of customer interest combined with difficult trading conditions and high operating costs," said one. "Even if they're making money from EnronOnline, they've got far too many people there." U.S.-based Enron Corp became a major player in the metals trade in May last year when it acquired MG plc, a leading independent international metals dealing firm in London which had previously absorbed fellow LME ring-dealers Rudolf Wolff & Co and Billiton Metals Ltd. The number of LME ring dealers trading on the exchange's open-outcry floor has dwindled from a peak of 30 in the mid-1980s to the current 12. This could drop to 11 this week if ScotiaMocatta, a subsidiary of Canada's Bank of Nova Scotia , exits floor trading from Friday. In an interview with Reuters in August, Enron Metals President Joe Gold reiterated the company's commitment to the LME ring. "We send our No 1 trader and No 2 trader down on the (LME) floor every day, which is not a statement everyone can make. Wherever the most trading is during that day, that's where we'll be," Gold said. SCREEN TRADING Enron has also become a major player in metals screen trading since July last year, when the company announced the first physical metals transaction on its internet trading platform EnronOnline (www.enrononline.com). The system differs from the screen trading systems operated by the London Metal Exchange (LME) and UK-based metals and energy broker Spectron in that the trading platform is open to a broad range of users but Enron is the sole counter-party in each transaction. At the end of August the company amended EnronOnline to make markets for selected clients only in three months copper and aluminium for maximum 200-lot transactions, compared with the standard 20-lot markets on the system. In addition to metals, EnronOnline trades a range of products, from oil to plastics and emission allowances to credit derivatives. Enron announced the one millionth transaction on the system in May of this year. Copyright ? 2000 Dow Jones & Company, Inc. All Rights Reserved. Enron Plans to Trim as Many as 500 Jobs in Europe (Update2) 2001-10-10 16:08 (New York) Enron Plans to Trim as Many as 500 Jobs in Europe (Update2) (Updates with closing share price in last paragraph.) Houston, Oct. 10 (Bloomberg) -- Enron Corp., the largest energy trader, plans to eliminate as many as 500 jobs in Europe, or as much as 10 percent of the workforce there, to reduce costs and boost profit. The company has 5,000 workers in Europe, and it plans to trim jobs by 5 percent to 10 percent, Enron said in a statement. The company wants to make reductions through ``voluntary severance,'' the statement said. Houston-based Enron expanded European commodities trading in 2000 when it bought London-based MG Plc, the largest copper marketer, for $448 million. Jeffrey Skilling, who resigned as Enron's chief executive in August, told investors in July to expect ``great things from Europe in the future.'' ``There is still a lot of growth for them in Europe,'' said Louis Gagliardi, an analyst at John S. Herold Inc. ``They're not giving up, they're just taking an analysis of each unit.'' Gagliardi doesn't own Enron shares. John S. Herold doesn't issue investment recommendations. Enron Europe is based in London and has offices in nine other countries. Along with trading, it has interests in power plants in Italy, Poland, Spain, Turkey and the U.K. It didn't say where the job cuts would be. Shares of Enron rose $1.81 to $35.20. They have fallen 58 percent this year. Northeast Officials Seek Delay In Unifying Power Market By Kristen McNamara Of DOW JONES NEWSWIRES 10/10/2001 Dow Jones Energy Service (Copyright (c) 2001, Dow Jones & Company, Inc.) NEW YORK -(Dow Jones)- Officials in Maryland and New York have urged federal energy regulators to slow down plans to merge the three existing wholesale power markets along the Eastern Seaboard into a single market for the entire Northeast. Citing concerns that rushing to consolidate the markets could create instability, reduce liquidity and inflate prices, the New York Independent System Operator and the Maryland Public Service Commission have separately asked the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to study its plan before implementing it. "There's no need to do this in a hasty manner," said Steve Sullivan, spokesman for the New York ISO, which runs that state's power market and transmission system. "Our markets are not broken." FERC is pushing utilities across the country to put their high-voltage transmission systems - the wholesale power market's equivalent of the interstate highway system - under the control of independent regional operators. The commission says the handoff is critical to the establishment of competitive power markets, as utilities with positions in the market are seen as unlikely to allow competitors equal access to the grid. Power traders like Enron Corp. (ENE) support the effort, while some utilities and state regulators have opposed the assertion of federal authority. In an effort to jump-start the sluggish process, FERC has outlined a plan to divide up control of the country's power grids among four regional operators - one each in the Northeast, Southeast, Midwest and West. But while utilities still control much of the grid elsewhere in the country, transmission systems in the Northeast are already run by three independent wholesale market operators. FERC has told those operators to merge, and has indicated a preference for modeling the new market on that run by Mid-Atlantic operator PJM Interconnection LLC. A unified Northeast power market would be the world's largest - processing $9 billion in energy sales a year, handling 110,000 megawatts of electricity and serving a population of 54 million, according to the New York ISO. Seeking Other Options The Maryland Public Service Commission, along with regulators from Virginia and the District of Columbia, filed motions in August to stay FERC's order, saying the commission had overstepped its authority. The Maryland regulators will ask a federal court to block FERC if it moves forward with its plans to consolidate the three market operators - New York ISO, ISO New England Inc. and PJM - said Robert Harris, the commission's assistant manager of external affairs. The commission last week asked U.S. Senator Barbara Mikulski. D-Md., to require FERC to explore options to ease the flow of power between markets short of a forced consolidation. "This proposal is unnecessary, reckless and risky," the PSC wrote. The PSC held public hearings on a unified Northeast power market Oct. 3 and 4, and plans to send the comments it received to FERC next week. The New York ISO and ISO New England said they aren't opposed to a consolidated market, as long as it incorporates the best practices from each of the three existing markets. The New York ISO, along with ISO New England, also wants each of the three regional markets to have equal representation on the board governing the merged market. New York's market operator also questioned whether centralizing control of a Northeast power market with one operator in one location would increase its vulnerability to electronic or other attacks by terrorists. FERC will hold a series of workshops next week to discuss issues related to the development of independent transmission operators across the country, including the need to clear bottlenecks and guard against attempts to manipulate the market. As reported, new FERC Chairman Pat Wood III said the commission will spend a day listening to the concerns of state regulators. The commission has also agreed to study its contention that consolidating markets will pay off for consumers, Wood said. Mirant Corp. (MIR) recently commissioned a study that showed a combined Northeast power market could save consumers $440 million a year. -By Kristen McNamara, Dow Jones Newswires; 201-938-2061; [email protected] Copyright ? 2000 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.

BOMBAY, Oct 10 (Reuters) - India's Reliance Industries Ltd wants to become the operator of three oil and gas fields off the country's west coast, complicating U.K.-based BG Plc's proposed acquisition of a 30 percent stake in the fields, an industry source told Reuters on Wednesday. Reliance, which owns a 30 percent stake in the fields, has applied to the government to be appointed the operator, said the source, who declined to be identified. That could potentially derail the deal BG announced last week to buy U.S.-based Enron Corp's 30 percent stake in the offshore Indian energy fields for $388 million. Numerous reports in the Indian media have said that the deal may be contingent on operatorship of the fields being transferred from Enron, the current operator, to BG. A spokesman for BG in London said on Wednesday that the company was "continuing discussions with the other parties" and until the matter was resolved, it had no further comment to make. Indian state-run driller ONGC, which owns the remaining 40 percent stake in the Panna, Mukta and Tapti fields, has already said it wants to take over the operatorship. The source said Reliance Industries, India's leading petrochemicals maker and flagship company of the country's largest business group, is also pursuing management control. Panna, Mukta and Tapti lie off India's western coast, and are considered among the more promising recent finds in the country. Panna and Mukta produce 29,000 barrels of oil and 2.5 million cubic metres of gas per day. The Mukta field produced 1,974 million cubic metres of gas in the year ended March 2001. BG said it wants a stake in the fields to complement its Indian interests in gas distribution and liquefied natural gas (LNG). Enron wants to leave the venture as a part of its move to focus on the high-growth energy trading business. Copyright ? 2000 Dow Jones & Company, Inc. All Rights Reserved. USA: El Paso shares advance after favorable ruling. 10/10/2001 Reuters English News Service (C) Reuters Limited 2001. NEW YORK, Oct 10 (Reuters) - A favorable regulatory ruling sent El Paso Corp's undervalued shares soaring on Wednesday, leading the utility group higher in morning trading. After the close of trading Tuesday, a U.S. Federal Energy Regulatory Commission law judge ruled there was no clear evidence that El Paso exercised market power in an attempt to raise California natural gas prices and recommended dismissal of the issue in the case pending before the full commission. This was "not a clean sweep" for the big gas pipeline company, UBS Warburg analyst Ronald Barone said, noting Judge Wagner believes there was affiliate abuse - or collusion - between El Paso's pipeline and marketing segments during California's power crisis late last year and early this year. But Barone believes "the net outcome from his decisions are a substantial positive for El Paso and have significantly reduced the company's limited exposure to this highly politicized California mess." In active morning trading, El Paso shares traded between $51 and $51.69 - their best prices since Sept. 17, the first day of trading following the interruption caused by the Sept. 11 attack on the World Trade Center. After two hours, El Paso was up $2.50, or 5.13 percent, to $51.25 on composite trading of 1.8 million shares. Following it higher were the stocks of several other companies that had dropped on news of California's problems - Calpine Corp. , up 4.14 percent; Enron Corp. , up 3.26 percent, and Dynegy Inc. , up 2.4 percent. Copyright ? 2000 Dow Jones & Company, Inc. All Rights Reserved. UK: UPDATE 1-ScotiaMocatta seen to axe LME ring trade from Friday. By Martin Hayes 10/10/2001 Reuters English News Service (C) Reuters Limited 2001. LONDON, Oct 10 (Reuters) - London Metal Exchange (LME) ring-dealer ScotiaMocatta Metals is to scale back its operations, and will no longer execute business on the market's open-outcry floor after Friday, trade sources said on Wednesday. ScotiaMocatta is a unit of Canada's Bank of Nova Scotia , who informed metal traders of the move at a meeting held yesterday in the LME trader's London offices. Voluntary redundancies were also asked for, sources at the meeting said. "They said they are restructuring the business, and will no longer execute trades on the floor after Friday," one said. This implies that ScotiaMocatta, which is one of 12 ring-dealing members (RDMs) on the LME, could relinquish this status, although sources at the meeting said this was not made clear. No-one from ScotiaMocatta in London was available to comment on Wednesday. Separately, Enron Group said its commodities trader Enron Metals would also lose jobs as part of a Europe-wide staff reduction programme. On Tuesday, Bank of Nova Scotia said in Toronto it was scaling back its base metals trading desk and laying off traders, transforming ScotiaMoccata into a "niche player", due to the economic downturn. The bank said the decision does not affect its precious metals division. Bank of Nova Scotia purchased Mocatta Metals as it was known in September 1997. It is also one of the five members of the twice-daily London gold fix - it is the oldest bullion dealing house in the world, dating back to 1671. "We are still staying in the base metals business, but it will be more focused as a niche player in structural products," Scotiabank spokeswoman, Diane Flanagan told Reuters in Toronto. Flanagan confirmed there would be layoffs at the bank's base metals desk, but refused to say how many employees would be affected. If ScotiaMoccatta were to give up RDM status, it would bring LME ring-dealing numbers down to 11. The RDMs are the only firms entitled to trade on the open-outcry floor. In the LME's tiered membership, associate broker clearing members (ABCMs) are the second tier of membership - they have all the rights and privileges of LME membership, but cannot trade during the open-outcry trading sessions. LME director of corporate affairs Jonathan Haslam said on Wednesday that any announcement about a firm's membership status would have to come from the company concerned. DOWNTURN IN METALS BUSINESS HITTING HARD Trading conditions in base metals have deteriorated this year, with prices, volumes and revenues all falling, against a background of a global economic slowdown, worsened by the September 11 attacks on the U.S. This climate has hit all trading companies, and ScotiaMocatta's business has declined markedly, sources said. "They have gone from a position of being on the acquisition front to becoming a niche player. That highlights the way their business has declined in the last six months," a source close to the company said. There had been persistent talk that ScotiaMoccata had been looking to acquire other LME RDMs. In 2000, it sought to buy RDM Rudolf Wolff, a unit of Canada's Noranda. Wolff was eventually purchased by MG Trading, now known as Enron Metals This year it was said to be negotiating to buy another RDM, although that ultimately came to nothing. LME RING DEALING NUMBERS CONTINUE TO FALL LME ring-dealership numbers have declined since the mid-1980s, when there were some 30 companies on the floor. This is partly due to consolidation, but also due to some firms relinquishing their status in the wake of the Sumitomo Corp copper scandal in 1996. Now, there are significantly more ABCMs and the trend towards consolidation and contraction is likely to continue, as their costs are much lower than being a ring-dealer. To run a floor operation, with telecommunications and associated staff charges, probably costs between one and two million stg a year. (With additional reporting by the Toronto Newsroom).

LOCAL UNDERSEA PIPELINE PLAN FACES SCRUTINY ; HEARING SLATED ON ENRON PLAN TO IMPORT GAS David Fleshler Staff Writer 10/10/2001 South Florida Sun-Sentinel Broward Metro 1B (Copyright 2001 by the Sun-Sentinel) State environmental regulators have raised sharp questions about Enron Corp.'s plans to construct an undersea natural gas pipeline from the Bahamas to South Florida. The pipeline would threaten coral reefs, travel through a popular state park and face a series of hazards in the commercial bustle of Port Everglades, according to a memorandum by the Department of Environmental Protection's southeast district staff. The Houston-based company wants to bring natural gas from a plant in Freeport, Grand Bahama, to Fort Lauderdale. With more gas-fueled power plants in the works, the company thinks it would find a market in Florida. El Paso Corp. and AES Corp. also have proposed undersea pipeline projects, although Enron's Calypso project has moved the furthest in the approval process. Judging from the state's comments on Enron's proposal, all three projects will face difficult questions over their safety and environmental impact. Just before it reaches land, for example, the pipeline would pass through Port Everglades, a busy center of commerce that could be full of peril for a high-pressure gas pipeline. "The pipeline will be routed through an area that has experienced chronic disturbances such as dredging, ship groundings, high ship traffic entering and leaving Port Everglades and storm events," states the memo, prepared by Jayne Bergstrom, an environmental specialist who prepared a series of questions for the company. "Large vessels have caused significant damage to Broward County reefs in recent years, including a 506-foot cargo ship, a freighter driven ashore during a February 1998 storm, a 348-foot Panamanian vessel that washed ashore a month later, and incredibly, a 360-foot nuclear-powered sub, the USS Memphis, in February 1993. Is this the safest route for a high-pressure gas pipeline?" Enron spokesman John Ambler said the pipeline probably would be 30 to 40 feet below the sea floor in the port, well protected even if a ship sank or ran aground directly over it. Just outside the port, the pipeline would ascend to 3 feet below the floor, but that would be in a rocky area that's closed to ships, he said. "We're in the process of developing a response to all of these questions," he said. "We're in an ongoing dialogue, and we're optimistic about being able to resolve these concerns in a way that will allow the project to move forward." The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission will conduct a public hearing tonight on the environmental impact of the Enron project. The public will be allowed to make comments or ask questions of the agency's staff. The meeting will be at 7 p.m. at the I.T. Parker Community Center, 901 NE Third St., Dania Beach. As the pipeline approaches Broward County's coastline, it would pass through bands of coral reefs, important habitats for marine life. The company plans to drill horizontally under the reefs to avoid harming them. But it also would drag pipes over them in two areas before inserting them through the holes, according to the state. "Coral reefs deserve protection for their intrinsic natural value," the memo states. "In addition, the economic, tourism, fishing and recreational resources of South Florida depend on healthy coral reef ecosystems. Calypso staff and engineers have not sufficiently demonstrated to staff that the project cannot be redesigned to avoid sensitive marine resources." While the company has stated that the impact would be both temporary and insignificant, the memo states that the company has not explained how this could be so. The state estimated that the project would have an impact on about 15 acres of coral reefs and adjacent habitats. Given the damage the reefs already have suffered from pollution and other sources, the memo questions whether any pipelines should be routed directly to southeast Florida. Instead, it says it may be better to route them to the north, through areas without reefs, then connect to the pipeline system on land. Ambler said that the company was trying to find ways to avoid dragging the pipes along the reefs. All three pipeline projects will be reviewed by a series of federal, state and local agencies.

Reliance Bids to Run Indian Oil Fields, Challenging BG Plan 2001-10-10 11:34 (New York) Reliance Bids to Run Indian Oil Fields, Challenging BG Plan Mumbai, Oct. 10 (Bloomberg) -- Reliance Industries Ltd., India's biggest private company, said it claimed the right to run three offshore oil and gas projects, challenging a bid from the U.K.'s BG Group Plc. BG has said a plan to buy out Enron Corp.'s 30 percent of the projects is contingent on winning the right to oversee the developments. Reliance and Oil & Natural Gas Corp., India's biggest oil producer, together own 70 percent of the exploration company and have an option to decide the operator after Enron quits, Reliance spokesman Yogesh Desai said. The purchase would gave BG a 30 percent stake in the Tapti and Panna-Mukta oil and gas fields, as well as 63 percent of an untapped deposit on the west coast of India. The assets hold more than 170 million barrels of oil and gas. BG declined to comment. BG will invest ``hundreds of millions'' of dollars to double production in the Tapti field by 2004 if the other two partners in the venture contribute as well, Nigel Shaw, chief executive officer of BG India Pvt. told reporters last week. ONGC has already claimed its right to operate the fields. Before agreeing with BG, Enron rejected bids from its Indian venture partners, ONGS and Reliance, as well as from the nation's biggest refiner, Indian Oil Corp. India's gas production fell 11 percent to 1999 from 1997 as Oil & Natural Gas Corp., the state explorer, made no significant discoveries in 15 years. Insufficient supplies of gas have hurt growth in the country's fertilizer and chemicals industries and hampered upgrading of its power plants, still mostly coal-fed. The government expects a gas deficit to triple in the next six years unless new wells are drilled or existing fields expand sales. Domestic bureaucracy has already thwarted efforts in India by Electricite de France and Cogetrix Energy Inc., which have pulled out, while Enron is locked in a price dispute with authorities. The government is the sole buyer of gas and power from producers and the sole seller to distributors. LME Says Scotiamocatta to End Open-Outcry Floor Trade (Update2) 2001-10-10 11:59 (New York) LME Says Scotiamocatta to End Open-Outcry Floor Trade (Update2) (Adds bank quotes in second, fifth paragraphs.) London, Oct. 10 (Bloomberg) -- The London Metal Exchange said Scotiamocatta, a metals-trading unit of the Bank of Nova Scotia, will cease open-outcry transactions on the LME floor. It was not immediately clear when the company will end floor trading, said Caoimhe Buckley, a spokeswoman for the exchange, the world's biggest metals-trading bourse. The bank is planning to cut about 20 base metals staff in London, said Pam Agnew, a spokeswoman in Toronto, though its floor dealing is unaffected for now. ``At this time, it's business as usual,'' she said. Scotiamocatta is the latest defection from the LME, whose number of floor traders has more than halved to 11 in the past decade because of declining margins. This year, the price of copper has dropped 23 percent and aluminum has declined 17 percent as slowing economies cut demand and reduce trading commissions. ``It detracts from (the LME's) standing as a marketplace because it's another one gone,'' said Richard Starsmeare, head of commodity and trade finance at Raiffeisen Zentralbank in London. The bank's decision to cut its London metals staff is related to the ``downturn in the economy,'' Agnew said. The LME's director of corporate affairs, Jonathan Haslam, later said the exchange couldn't officially comment on Scotiamocatta's role at the exchange. ``The LME wishes to make clear that it has made no formal statement about the position of the Bank of Nova Scotia,'' Haslam said in a statement. ``Any statements about their future trading must come from them.'' The LME's other floor-trading members, or ``ring dealers'' include Enron Metals Ltd. and Refco Overseas Ltd. Bin Laden 'look alike' arrested in India BBC News October 9, 2001 By Frances Harrison in Delhi Indian police detained a bearded man in the western border area of Rajasthan on suspicion that he might be the world's most wanted man, Osama Bin Laden. The man was released after two hours of questioning which established that he was in fact a Hindu and also worked for an American company. Police in the town of Jaisalmer bordering Pakistan said they saw a man with a flowing beard and black scarf driving along the national highway in a jeep. They chased the man, took him to the police station and politely asked who he was - clearly concerned they might have apprehended Osama Bin Laden fleeing Aghanistan via Pakistan. US company The bearded man told the police he was an engineer working with the American company Enron on a wind energy project in the area. A telephone call to the company confirmed this and one policeman told the man that he should be thankful he wasn't living in the United States because he would have definitely been shot so strong was his resemblance to Osama Bin Laden. The man, who turned out to be a Hindu and not a Muslim, was freed immediately. But not before a crowd of curious villagers had gathered outside the police station eager to catch a glimpse of the man who's been dominating the news.	[email protected]

Kaiser Aluminum closed its = smelting operations in the Pacific Northwest in late 2000, choosing to rese= ll contracted power from the BPA on the spot market. According to the Spoke= sman Review, "Kaiser netted more than $460 million from the sales." Other a= luminum companies reselling power from BPA reached agreements during spring= 2001 with Bonneville. Under these agreements, the companies agreed to keep= smelters off line to keep power supplies ample in the region, and BPA agre= ed, in return, to give the smelters, when they restarted operations, a $20 = per megawatt-hour (MWh) credit for obtaining power from sources other than = BPA. Months of wrangling produced a contract between Kaiser and the BPA tha= t negates a "take-or-pay" clause that would require Kaiser to pay for the f= ederal power whether used or not. BPA said, "Under the agreement signed tod= ay, Kaiser will avoid the possibility of paying damages if it does not take= all the power under the contract...And if [BPA] can't resell it, we are no= t going to hold [Kaiser] liable for the difference," Clearing Up reported. = As a concession for the elimination of the "take-or-pay" clause, Kaiser wil= l receive interruptible service from the BPA on some of its 240 MW load.

arnold-j/deleted_items/183.	subject: hello content: Hi John, Just started over here at RWE Trading Americas, Inc last Friday. Not sure whether or not you've heard of them before but they are the largest utility in Germany with natural gas, crude and products, power and coal trading in Europe. They own 80 % of Consol, which is the largest coal producer in the world, and 100% of Nukem, which has or is supplying uranium to all the US nuclear power plants. They also have approximately 130 mmcfd of Appalachian gas which, unfortunately, is under contract with AEP as of this moment. Additionally, they've budgeted to make a significant acquisition in the US next year. Overall, they've got a good story to tell. Anyway, I just wanted to let you know the latest and would like to buy you dinner the 16th or 17th of this month to catch up on things. Let me know.	[email protected]	[email protected]

arnold-j/deleted_items/192.	subject: RE: Hello! content: Aren't you used to me popping in every few years by now?? And are you calling me wacky?? =) Basically, I just started working for a new-ish hedge fund in Boston with Chuck Clough, the former Chief Investment Strategist for Merrill. I got a random phone call yesterday from a woman who is just starting a hedge fund here in Boston. She had heard I was in town and has been trying to get a hold of me to help her start her hedge fund. She finally got my number from someone, who told her I had already started working with Chuck. I'm not sure why she called me anyway, but she basically tried to convince me what a great opportunity it would be to work with her and her "team." The only person on her "team" that she described was Jeff Gossett. She said that she and her husband had hired him out of Southwest Texas undergrad and he had stayed with her first fund for four years (which she subsequently sold) until Enron recruited him away. The stories of the recruitment seemed a bit wild, like using private jets to fly him to Europe. Anyway, she said that he had quit Enron two weeks ago to join her in this new hedge fund. Having never heard of him and thinking she seemed to be a bit of a crackpot, I was wondering if it was true. I would never leave this opportunity, even if she offered me the world, but I have friends who really want to break into hedge funds, so I was doing some due diligence on their behalf.

Watchign for signs that may come back on after summer. Additional issue being that demand as a whole is very weak, so even w/o Natty at such low levels, we would be just a weak.

It is very draft in nature but I wanted to get the working version over to you ASAP. I wanted to get this discussion going via written format so that I (or others who may implement this) can stay focused on what you want and not get into broader research, etc.... I think I can put a model together if we can define what parameters, the interface (levers) and model (transfer functions) to use that would be useful for you as phase I product. I will fire off updates to this document as I make them. If you have a spec doc or ideas that you want to hand write on a print out, please do so and I will update the document. I will like to make sure that I am on the same page before beginning to code the program and to start linking to additional moths (month 2, 3, ..) and different curves, etc. My Job search has gone well with the Crude desk and I am waiting compensation indication from them to make my decision. Also, Kevin Presto feels that I could potentially help his power group with new market or spread trading. John Suarez is a director who came from the power desk to EBS is going back to work for Kevin Presto. I may have an opportunity to build the southeast market by supporting John. I am very grateful that I met you and other key Enron traders during this job search. << File: Neural Ideas.ppt >> Ravi Thuraisingham, CFA Director, Storage Trading Enron Broadband Services p 713.853.3057 c 713.516.5440 pg 877.680.4806 [email protected] -----Original Message----- From: Arnold, John Sent: Monday, October 01, 2001 3:47 PM To: Thuraisingham, Ravi Subject: RE: Neural Networks not necessarily looking for predictive power. that's a 3 year project. just for market making skillset. The work that Dave Forster did was just for front month. That creates month 1. Then, similar logic has to create a month 1/month 2 spread to create a month 2 outright market. Same for month 2/ month 3 to create month 3. There might be 24-36 individual markets to create a forward curve. Sometimes month 1 has correlation to the month 1/ month 2 spread.

By JULIE EARLE. 10/11/2001 Financial Times (U.K. edition) (c) 2001 Financial Times Limited . All Rights Reserved Enron, the US energy group and trader, yesterday confirmed it would cut 500 jobs, or 10 per cent of its European workforce, in an attempt to improve profits. Ken Lay, Enron's chairman, is under pressure to restore the company's share price, which has slid more than 60 per cent in the past 12 months. The cuts, flagged last week, will scale back operations Mr Lay had previously said would be critical to the company's future growth. John Sherriff, Enron Europe's president, said business continued to grow in Europe in terms of traded volumes and numbers of transactions, but the company was "seeking ways to do more with less in order to maintain earnings growth". Enron Europe has 5000 employees. Mr Sherriff said the headcount would be cut by between 5 and 10 per cent, and the company hoped to achieve this through voluntary severance. Gordon Howald, an energy analyst at Credit Lyonnais Securities in New York, said Enron had been criticised over its strategy to increase cash flows. "They are trying to slash their workforce and are selling Portland General Electric. This is good timing. When financials are under pressure, it probably makes good sense," he said, adding there had been rumours of US job cuts, outside of the previously announced Broadband division job cuts in July. Enron yesterday denied there were further job cuts planned in the US. Last week Enron said it had agreed to sell the electricity utility Portland General Electric to Northwest Natural Gas for $1.8bn, a disposal it had been planning for some time. Enron shares closed $1.81, or 5.4 per cent, higher at $35.20 in New York yesterday. (c) Copyright Financial Times Ltd. All rights reserved. http://www.ft.com.

Houston Chronicle Jim Barlow Column Jim Barlow 10/11/2001 KRTBN Knight-Ridder Tribune Business News: Houston Chronicle - Texas Copyright (C) 2001 KRTBN Knight Ridder Tribune Business News; Source: World Reporter (TM) In college, they call it grading on the curve. In business, it's known as forced ranking. In both cases, regardless of performance, someone's going to fail. The practices reward those who perform better than their peers. That's the American way. But they also can punish those doing good work -- just not as good as others. In college, grading on the curve means failing a course despite learning the material and either being forced to repeat it or flunking out. In business, forced ranking means that every year some arbitrary number -- often 10 percent -- get put on notice that they must improve. Or sometimes they get fired. Traditionally, business has used competency-based evaluations of employees. That is, can they do the work? Forced ranking sets up a totem pole. Everyone has a place on that pole, from the top to the bottom. And the pole gets chopped off from the bottom. About 20 percent of American companies use forced ranking, according to an article on the subject in the Harvard Management Update, a newsletter from the publishing arm of the business school. Some companies used forced ranking only for top managers. Others use the system for all managers, or all exempt employees who are not on hourly wages. Some of the most admired companies use the process -- General Electric, for example. Here in Houston, Enron uses a five-point scale with 15 percent in the bottom ranking. Proponents of forced ranking say it makes managers confront a perennial problem: that of low-performing managers and employees. Not only do the low performers cause problems now. If they neither improve nor leave, they block promotion for people who might do a better job. Productivity and morale sag. Fewer top people want to join the company. The best performers leave. In what seems to be the endless American cycle of hiring and layoffs, forced ranking also gives managers some objective criteria to use when it's once again time to let people go. But forced ranking also can raise the usual cries of discrimination that any ranking system brings. At Microsoft, an African-American plaintiff sued, claiming his low ranking came because of his race. At Ford Motor Co., which has dropped forced ranking, the charges of discrimination came from middle-aged white males. Forced ranking has provided a much-needed boost at some companies -- ones that have not confronted performance problems of managers over the years. Still, after a few cycles of forced ranking, companies must decide what's next. So you've weeded out the slackers. You've helped those who needed help to improve their performance. Overall, the company is doing a much better job of getting the products or services out the door. Inevitably, companies will reach a point of diminishing returns. If every manager or exempt employee is at least competent at his or her job, is it really worth it to rate and arbitrarily fire 10 percent or so of them every year? Sure, that's going to keep everyone on their toes as they scramble to keep their jobs. But it may not be all that good in encouraging teamwork. And, as France's army found in World War I, the practice of decimation -- arbitrarily shooting 10 percent of your own troops to encourage the others to fight harder -- does not tend to raise morale. Forced ranking also seems to me to be based on the wrong premise -- that is, that companies need to be filled with high-performance people from top to bottom to succeed. That may not necessarily be true. Every organization really needs a mix of people. For example, organizations need a leavening of malcontents. They stir up things, get people thinking, challenge assumptions. Yet an organization composed of nothing but malcontents won't work. Sure, every company needs top performers. They are the yeast that causes the organization to rise. But companies also need the steady and the sturdy and people with limited imagination to take care of the millions of details that must be faced every day. It's the equivalent of taking out the trash. It's not inspiring work, but unless it gets done, it gets smelly. Comments? Telephone 713-220-2000 and touch code 1000.

Times Info Ltd-Asia Africa Intel Wire. Business Line (The Hindu) Copyright (C) 2001 Kasturi & Sons Ltd. All Rights Res'd NEW DELHI, Oct. 10 IN a fresh twist to the crisis facing the $220-million LNG shipping deal for Dabhol Power Company, German-based KG Finance Group has made a proposal to the promoters of Greenfield Shipping Company to bail out the project. "The promoters of Greenfield Shipping Company, however, rejected the proposal ab initio," sources familiar with the developments told Business Line. The bailout proposal was made by the German agency during discussions held in London recently between the representatives of the three promoters (Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, SCI and Atlantic Commercial Inc) and the lending consortium led by ANZ Investment Bank. As per the offer, the KG Finance Group would facilitate the completion of the 137,000-cubic-metre capacity tanker to be used for transporting LNG from Oman to Enron's power plant at Dabhol. The LNG carrier would be converted into a German asset by bringing it under a special purpose vehicle (SPV) registered in Germany. The tanker would be operated by German crew. The Greenfield Shipping Company is registered in the Cayman Islands and would fly a Maltese flag. The German entity had also proposed to tie up finances for the entire arrangement through a mix of public and private funding. KG Finance Group was of the view that the Greenfield Shipping Company had paid an "unbelievably higher price" for the LNG tanker by contracting it a rate of $220 million. In its reckoning, the vessel building price was at least $15 to 20 million higher than the market price prevailing then. Against this backdrop, KG Finance Group had told the representatives of the Greenfield Shipping Company assembled in London that the tanker would fetch not more than $65,000 per day as charter hire rates, the sources said. This was against the charter hire rate of $98,600 per day agreed with Dabhol Power Company. The German agency had also said that it would charge a commission of 3 per cent for finalising the deal. The proposal was turned down by the promoters of Greenfield Shipping Company on the grounds that transferring the asset from a Maltese flag to a German flag would deprive the tanker of depreciation benefits. "Besides, the project will not break even at a charter hire rate of $65,000 per day," the sources said. The offer made by KG Finance Group comes in the wake of a crisis facing the promoters of the LNG shipping project after the lenders suspended the last tranche of the project loan of $55 million, citing an event of default. The project promoters will not be able to take possession of the LNG carrier if the remaining project cost of $55 million is not paid to the shipbuilding yard. The crisis has been compounded by the fact that Enron is planning to exit from the project by selling its 20 per cent stake in the venture. While various permutations and combinations have been discussed between the joint venture partners, nothing has taken a concrete shape so far, dragging the venture into deeper uncertainty. While making its offer, the German entity had drawn attention to the not-so-rosy LNG market globally. The LNG vessel prices are now ruling at about $165 million. "Besides, about 24 LNG vessels are lying idle world- over. Even two new vessels delivered recently are lying idle without any commitment to charter," the sources said, pointing to the bleak scenario prevailing at the moment which has steeply driven down the charter hire rates for LNG ships.

CM rejects NCP plea for probe into Enron dispute 10/11/2001 The Times of India Copyright (C) 2001 The Times of India; Source: World Reporter (TM) MUMBAI: Maharashtra chief minister Vilasrao Deshmukh has rejected a demand by the Nationalist Congress party (NCP) for reconsideration of a judicial probe being set up into the Enron controversy. Mr Deshmukh told a press conference here on Wednesday, ``As far as we are concerned, the issue of a judicial probe into Enron is over.'' Deputy chief minister Chhagan Bhujbal, sitting adjacent to him, kept mum when Mr Deshmukh's attention was drawn to the demand by the NCP, the principal partner of the ruling Democratic Front. NCP president Sharad Pawar had stated at a public meeting last week that his party would not be responsible if the state had to pay arbitration costs to Enron running into hundreds of crores of rupees. Similarly, NCP spokesman Vasant Chavan had alleged that the decision to institute the judicial probe needed to be reconsidered. Mr Deshmukh's outright rejection of the demand could be another reason for tension between the Congress and the NCP, sources said. Hiking of water supply charges by the DF government is another major issue that has been hanging fire. Maharashtra Pradesh Congress committee president Govindrao Adik and other leaders had attacked the government's decision to the hike. When Mr Deshmukh was asked to state the government's response, he announced that the matter would be referred to the DF coordination committee. Copyright ? 2000 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.

COLUMBUS, Ohio -(Dow Jones)- Top officials from American Electric Power Co. (AEP) outlined the utility's growth objectives in a conference with financial analysts Wednesday, emphasizing its plan to lean on wholesale operations for future growth. AEP also noted how a planned corporate separation plan, expected to wrap up by the end of 2001 pending regulatory approval, will help by separating and clearly defining the company's unregulated operations. "That is clearly going to be the major growth driver for AEP," said Henry Fayne, executive vice president at AEP and the newly-named head of the company's regulated operations. Fayne is also the outgoing chief financial officer at AEP. AEP officials said the company is targeting 8% earnings per share growth on a year-to-year basis for an undefined period. Because regulated utility operations are typically a slow-growth business, AEP expects wholesale operations to increase their contribution to earnings by at least 10% each year going forward. On a shorter term basis, Fayne reiterated AEP's guidance for 2001 earnings in the $3.50 to $3.60 a diluted share range. A poll of 12 analysts by Thomson Financial/First Call, by comparison, shows the company earning $3.59 a diluted share for the year. AEP also maintained its 2002 earnings guidance, though it said a planned power plant acquisition announced this week should boost results by at least six cents. The company said Monday that it plans to buy two 2,000 megawatt coal-fired power plants in the U.K. from Edison International's (EIX) Edison Mission Energy unit for $960 million. With that deal, 2002 earnings should fall into the $3.80 to $3.90 a diluted share range, Fayne said. A Thomson Financial/First Call poll of 13 analysts puts 2002 earnings at $3.88 a diluted share. To achieve its longer term targets, AEP plans to lean heavily on its expanding wholesale trading operations. Currently, the company is the second largest wholesale electricity trader in the U.S. after Enron Corp. (ENE), and it ranks in the top ten in natural gas trading. The company expects to become a top-five natural gas trader as early as the fourth quarter this year, and to continue expanding electricity trading as the market evolves. And the company's aggressive growth plans shouldn't be deterred by current weakness in natural gas prices, or by wholesale power prices that are barely above generation costs in key U.S. markets, said Eric van der Walde, executive vice president of marketing and trading at AEP. The company continues to move into new markets and to use sophisticated analysis to devise market strategies, and because it isn't simply trying to sell electricity above cost, it isn't held back by sluggish markets, van der Walde said. "It's not negative for us to have markets where the prices are declining," he said. Fayne also noted that the performance at AEP's fleet continues to improve, which effectively adds more megawatts to its portfolio. Power plants in the company's eastern Midwest base, where it operates nearly 24,000 megawatts of power, ran at 91.8% capacity in 2001, up from 87.6% capacity a year ago. The company expects continued improvement for 2001. Aside from the U.K. power plant acquisition plan announced this week, AEP said it remains open to other future power plant purchases. Though the company doesn't believe it needs to always own power plants in areas where it markets power, like the West Coast, owning assets in those areas can still be helpful, said E. Linn Draper, AEP's president and chief executive. "We would be open to the idea of trading something here for something somewhere else," Draper said. "Nothing is sacred in terms of the portfolio. Anything is fair game." The company does plan in the near term to hold on to its large Cook nuclear plant, a 2,110-megawatt generator in Michigan that regained full operations at the beginning of 2001 after a three-year outage, Draper said. But because there has been so much consolidation in the nuclear power industry, the company is open to considering some method of outside management that might allow it to share resources with other nuclear utilities. -By Jon Kamp, Dow Jones Newswires; 312-750-4129; [email protected] Copyright ? 2000 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.

The good news from corp= orate America continues to trickle in, as does reports of success on this f= ifth day of bombing raids on Afghanistan. Traders liked what they heard fr= om companies such as Etrade and Genentech, and although Yahoo! made some gl= oomy comments about the market and announced layoffs, they did meet Wall St= reet expectations for earnings. Traders also like the economic stimulus pr= ogram in the works, and seem confident that steps being taken will help bri= ng recovery sooner rather than later. After a substantial decline in the w= ake of the tragedy on September 11th, stocks have made their way back to le= vels approaching pre-attack prices. Still, some analysts remain cautious t= hat we're not out of the woods just yet, and some discouraging earnings new= s may yet dampen traders spirits in the coming sessions. - - - - -MORE Brea= king News [IMAGE][IMAGE] [IMAGE]=09[IMAGE]=09 =09 [IMAGE] Today's Feature - Thursday Take a Breath and Review Y= our SituationEven in the absence of disaster, very few people know where al= l their assets are invested, what insurance they have, what debt they owe a= nd what they spend.

Reuters English News Service, 10/11/01 JOBS South Florida Sun-Sentinel, 10/11/01 OUTLOOK Enron Q3 EPS 43 cents vs 34 10/11/2001 AFX News (c) 2001 by AFP-Extel News Ltd NEW YORK (AFX) - Enron Corp is expected to report next Tuesday third-quarter earnings per share of 43 cents, compared with 34 cents a year earlier, according to the First Call/Thomson Financial consensus of 17 brokers. The integrated energy company is expected to meet near-consensus results driven by its wholesale services division, analysts said. Montgomery Securities analyst Daniel Tulis is calculating third-quarter EPS of 42 cents, 1 cent below consensus. Full-year EPS stands at 1.85. Enron's third quarter was marked by the unexpected departure of chief executive Jeff Skilling, for personal reasons, with Chairman Ken Lay reassuming the key position. Lay is likely to remain in the position until it is filled within 12-18 months, Tulis said. The company remains embroiled in arbitration proceedings in India after its 2.9 bln usd Dabhol power plant in India was closed. The plant's sole client, the Maharashtra State Electricity Board (MSEB), failed - and later refused - to pay bills that now total about 45 mln usd. blms/gc For more information and to contact AFX: www.afxnews.com and www.afxpress.com Copyright ? 2000 Dow Jones & Company, Inc. All Rights Reserved. UK: UPDATE 1-Rothschild exits base metals, precious unaffected. By Andy Blamey 10/11/2001 Reuters English News Service (C) Reuters Limited 2001. LONDON, Oct 11 (Reuters) - Blue-blooded banker N M Rothschild & Sons Ltd said on Thursday it would shut down its base metals trading operations except in Australia - the third base metals trader this week to announce cutbacks. Rothschild remains firmly committed to its precious metals activity, however, company managing director and group treasurer Geoffrey Spice told Reuters. The company, the merchant banking arm and UK branch of the Rothschild family's financial empire, chairs the twice-daily benchmark price-setting London gold fix. "In light of difficult trading conditions in the base metals markets, we have concluded that our limited base metals operation is no longer viable," company Chairman Sir Evelyn de Rothschild said in a statement. "We've been reviewing the situation for quite some time. We've found that trading conditions (in base metals) have been difficult and opportunities have been limited," Spice said. Rothschild would not be taking on any new positions in base metals but would see existing positions on its books through to fruition, according to clients' wishes, he said. Rothschild is a category 2 (associate broker clearing) member of the London Metal Exchange (LME); the company would maintain its LME membership while existing positions run their course and would review it in due course, Spice said. The move to exit base metals will involve the closure of Rothschild's metals sales desk in New York and a number of redundancies in the London and New York trading, sales and support areas, the company said. Employees were informed of the decision on Thursday afternoon; around 20 Rothschild staff in total would be affected by the move, Spice said. The company's Australian base metals activities would continue as normal, however, he added. "Australia has a very strong franchise and will continue to operate in the base metals market," he said. The Rothschild move follows news this week that the Bank of Nova Scotia will scale back its base metals trading desk and that Enron Metals plans to cut around 10 percent of staff as a part of a Europe-wide job cut programme. Base metals traders have been struggling in recent months in the face of falling business volumes and sagging metals prices as continuing economic gloom and uncertainty after the September 11 attacks on the United States leave buyers sidelined. PRECIOUS METALS STRONG Spice stressed, however, that the company's precious metals operations would continue as normal. "We have a very strong position in precious metals which will not be affected in any way," he said. "N M Rothschild remains strongly committed to our core business in precious metals and continues to be at the forefront of spot, forward and option bullion markets and a leading member of the London Bullion Market Association," the company statement said. Copyright ? 2000 Dow Jones & Company, Inc. All Rights Reserved. INDIA: London court gives Enron India unit respite in row. 10/11/2001 Reuters English News Service (C) Reuters Limited 2001. BOMBAY, Oct 11 (Reuters) - The Indian unit of U.S. energy major Enron Corp . said on Thursday it had obtained a ruling from a London court preventing a provincial government from legally challenging international arbitration proceedings. Enron's Indian unit, Dabhol Power Company, has taken a local Indian utility to the International Court of Arbitration in London for a breach of contract. The utility, the Maharashtra State Electricity Board, had signed a contract to buy the output from Dabhol's $2.9 billion power plant on the western coast of India. It later said it did not need all the power from the 2,184 MW plant, and that it was too expensive. But a local regulatory authority, the Maharashtra State Electricity Commission, said the power company's dispute with the utility fell within its ambit, and that Dabhol could not proceed with the arbitration. This sparked a round of litigation, which is now at a stage where the Bombay High Court must decide whether Dabhol can take the dispute to London. In order to prevent more litigation, Enron obtained an injunction from the Commercial Court in London which restrains the government of Maharashtra, which owns the utility, from also filing a suit in India challenging the international arbitration proceedings. "Over the past few months, the government of Maharashtra and other government entities have taken actions to avoid complying with their contractual obligations," Dabhol said in a statement received late on Thursday. "This has frustrated the rights of international investors that were legally agreed to by the relevant parties several years ago." Government officials were not be reached for comment. Copyright ? 2000 Dow Jones & Company, Inc. All Rights Reserved. ECUADOR: Three firms accept Ecuador oil contracts at WTI-$6.97. 10/11/2001 Reuters English News Service (C) Reuters Limited 2001. QUITO, Ecuador, Oct 11 (Reuters) - Anglo Energy, Enron and Rio Energy agreed to match the price of $6.97 below West Texas Intermediate (WTI) for Ecuador crude contracts for November, a Petroecuador official said Thursday. Petroecuador last week retendered eight three-month crude contracts, each for 12,000 barrels per day (bpd), following a price dispute with former contract holders that led Ecuador's state oil company to break the contracts. The company awarded Coastal Petroleum two contracts on Friday at WTI minus $6.97, with a floor price for WTI at $20 per barrel, and offered other interested companies the chance to match this price for November. Petroecuador will set the price of Ecuador's crude for December and January. Anglo Energy will take two contracts while Enron and Rio Energy will take one contract each, the official said on the condition of anonymity. It was not immediately clear what would happen to two crude contracts sought by Glencore. Glencore had yet to respond to the offer on Thursday, the source said. Copyright ? 2000 Dow Jones & Company, Inc. All Rights Reserved. UK: Asian clean tanker freight seen falling - brokers. 10/11/2001 Reuters English News Service (C) Reuters Limited 2001. LONDON, Oct 11 (Reuters) - Asian petroleum product trades are likely to benefit from falling freight costs next week, as a raft of surplus tankers makes its way towards Singapore, tanker brokers said on Thursday. "There's a lot of ships ballasting down from Japan, arriving from the middle of next week onwards," said a Singapore broker. "From October 15 to 20 there will be eight to 10 ships in the area. Rates will fall further." He said that intra-Asian freight rates had already started to slide from a spike that topped W280 at the start of the week to W260 on Thursday ($17.52 per tonne). He said that transpacific trade, which often serves to tighten up the intra-Asian market, was dead. "The only arbs that are open are gasoline to Singapore from Europe and jet going the other way," he said. "Cargill did 35,000 tonnes from Malacca to UK-Cont on the High Challenge: we're guessing jet." London brokers said Enron had also booked a ship, the Teekay Freighter, to shift 70,000 tonnes of gasoil from Jamnagar, India to Europe. Brokers said that the Mideast Gulf trade, which occasionally sucks surplus ships out of Asia, was also quiet. Glencore booked two tankers for 40,000 tonne clean cargoes from Yanbu to East Coast India at W235, down 15 points on week-ago levels. "Long Range trades from the Gulf are quiet," said a London broker. "Nothing's happening so it's difficult to know where rates stand, but basically it's going down." A panel of brokers from London's Baltic Exchange pegged the naphtha trade on 75,000 tonners from the Gulf to Japan at W189 late on Wednesday, following a fall of eight points from week-ago levels.

LOCAL DANIA RESIDENTS POKE HOLES IN PIPELINE PLAN David Fleshler Staff Writer 10/11/2001 South Florida Sun-Sentinel Broward Metro 3B (Copyright 2001 by the Sun-Sentinel) A proposal to build a natural gas pipeline from the Bahamas to Broward County drew harsh reviews Wednesday from an audience in Dania Beach. Not a single speaker spoke in favor of the project, although one or two were neutral, during a public workshop held by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission at the I.T. Parker Community Center. "It is totally insane to put a high-pressure natural gas pipeline through such a densely populated area," said Susan Epps, of Oakland Park. "The loss of life and property if there would be an accident would be catastrophic." The commission is preparing an environmental impact statement for the project. More workshops will be held once a draft is ready. The process is expected to take several months. Enron Corp. of Houston proposed the pipeline as a way to meet the state's growing demand for natural gas, a relatively clean and increasingly popular fuel for power plants. Two other companies have made similar proposals. Enron's representatives say construction of the pipeline would do minimal damage to the coral reefs in its path. And it is an extremely safe way to transport natural gas. But few people in the audience saw it that way. Dan Clark, a member of a Broward County group that monitors the health of coral reefs, said that the company's representatives painted too rosy a picture of the project's impact on coral reefs by claiming that drilling a path under the reefs would leave them unharmed. "What they failed to tell you is that they're going to have to assemble the pipe across the second reef and drag it across the second reef," he said. "At a time when we're losing these habitats, we don't want to lose any more, willingly." Some speakers questioned the wisdom of bringing in another source of fossil fuels, however clean it may be, rather than putting more effort in conservation and renewable energy. "Why don't we regulate people's use of energy?" asked Judy Kuchta, of North Beach in Hollywood. "Why do people have to waste energy playing stupid video games and watching mindless TV?" Several speakers worried about the project's effects on John U. Lloyd State Park, a popular beachfront park under which the pipeline would run. "The park simply can't sustain the additional degradation of pipeline construction and operation," said Sara Case, speaking for Save Our Shoreline, a Hollywood conservation group. "The beach is one of Broward County's most important sea turtle nesting areas. Shore birds are attracted to the park. We simply find it difficult to believe that significant environmental damage is not inevitable from this monumental project." David Fleshler can be reached at [email protected] or 954- 356-4535.

BUSINESS JOBS Bloomberg News 10/11/2001 South Florida Sun-Sentinel Broward Metro 3D (Copyright 2001 by the Sun-Sentinel) Enron Corp., the largest energy trader, plans to cut as many as 500 jobs in Europe, or as much as 10 percent of its work force there, to reduce costs and boost profit. The company has 5,000 workers in Europe and plans to trim jobs by 5 percent to 10 percent. "Business continues to grow in terms of traded volumes and numbers of transactions, but like any company, we are constantly seeking ways to do more with less," John Sherriff, chief executive of Enron Europe, said.

The 2/10 spread has moved from 104 to 94. It may be a good time to move the 3-10 to a cal 2 trade. Pira just gave their seasonal conference in NY and they are very bullish long term gas.

They have a tremendous amount of respect in the industry and affect how customers and producers hedge. The flow, which has been buyers over for the way backs, I think will get more pronounced, especially if the front goes down. In the past week, I've sold Duke 40,000/d Cal 6-10 and 25,000/d Cal 7-10. I've sold PGE maybe 30,000 day Cal 4-5. The only seller has been El Paso whom I believe is hedging production. He is trying to pressure the y/y spreads as a spec trade that I think was/is being done to front run the corp hedges. I've used it as an opportunity to put a lot of spreads away for inventory down the road. If you want to buy this strip back in the next 6 months, I think it's going to be much easier/cheaper to roll it closer.	[email protected]	[email protected]

Reuters English News Service, 10/11/01 UK: UK Coalpower keen for 500MW station at Hatfield. 10/12/2001 Reuters English News Service (C) Reuters Limited 2001. LONDON, Oct 12 (Reuters) - Coalpower, the company set up by former RJB Mining chief Richard Budge, says it would like to build a coal-fired power station near its newly acquired Hatfield colliery in South Yorkshire, northern England. "We are keen to build a 500 megawatt clean coal power plant and are talking to various people", Budge told Reuters on Thursday, adding the chances of such a station coming to fruition would be closely linked to the outcome of Britain's current review of its energy needs to 2050. "Let's see what comes out of the energy review - if it's positive for coal gasification it will not just be our plant that will be built, others will be." Coalpower acquired the Hatfield coal mine on Monday, beating off competition from U.S. energy group Enron and UK Coal (formerly RJB Mining) and is spending about five million pounds ($8.4 million) to restart production. Budge said Hatfield has the potential to become a long-life pit with its 100 million tonnes of contiguous coal reserves and he is looking for output in excess of 500,000 tonnes a year. "Hatfield is the optimum site for a coal gasification combined cycle plant", said Budge, adding Britain needed coal generation to maintain a balanced and diverse energy portfolio. The government has said it is concerned about Britain's projected dependence on imported natural gas. Conventional coal burning power stations are high in fossil fuel emissions, which many scientists believe contribute to global warming. But gasification combined cycle technology converts coal to a gaseous fuel from which most of the impurities are removed prior to combustion. Supporters of coal say the clean coal technology can address many of the environmental concerns of burning coal. Coal mining in Britain has been in decline for decades, but the fuel still accounts for about a third of its power generation and recent signs point to the industry enjoying a mini revival. A doubling in the price of British natural gas over the last year has led to a rise in coal demand as electricity generators seek out the cheapest fuel in a highly competitive market. The increased demand for coal has propelled prices to about 35 pounds a tonne compared with 22.50 #18 months ago. Copyright ? 2000 Dow Jones & Company, Inc. All Rights Reserved.

The damages claim would be filed by public prosecutor Ricardo Szelagowski, the newspaper cited provincial secretary for public services, Eduardo Sicaro, as saying. Azurix said earlier this week it will rescind the concession on Jan 2, but continue operating the service "until the provincial authorities, or the operator it designates, take charge of assets and operations". jms For more information and to contact AFX: www.afxnews.com and www.afxpress.com Copyright ? 2000 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.

(AP) - Enron will not be a partner in a proposed natural gas power plant here, the project's managing director said Thursday. But Gary Marcus, who owns Coburg Power, said losing the Texas-based conglomerate will not stop the project. "Enron never drove this deal," he said. "I invited Enron into the deal." Marcus said Enron's participation improved the quality of the plant's design but slowed the decision-making process. Marcus predicted he will find a new backer in less than six months and will have a license to build the project within a year. Enron backed out because the project did not meet its market strategy, Marcus said. Enron officials couldn't be reached for comment. Enron's departure will do little to appease local residents, who fear that the power plant will harm ground water and air quality. "I don't think it'll ever be built," said Kent Johnston of Coburg, a project opponent. "If the people of Coburg and Eugene have anything to say about it, it won't be." Added Joey Gayles, a committee chairman in the residents' opposition group, "We're going to fight (Marcus) tooth and nail." The proposed 40-acre site north of Coburg meets all criteria for construction of a 300-megawatt plant on 12 acres of the site, Marcus said. The remainder of the site would be used for buffer area and wetlands mitigation. An additional eight acres will be required for the 600-megawatt plant that Coburg Power wants to build, he said. The larger plant would require additional permits that might delay the project. Expanding the existing natural gas pipeline that runs under the site also would add to the plant's cost. The larger plant would generate the equivalent of all power currently consumed in Lane County. Marcus estimated the cost of the larger plant at $300 million to $400 million. The smaller plant would cost about $180 million, he said. Copyright ? 2000 Dow Jones & Company, Inc. All Rights Reserved. UK Crt Blocks Challenge To Intl Arbitration In Enron Spat 10/12/2001 Dow Jones International News (Copyright (c) 2001, Dow Jones & Company, Inc.) BOMBAY (AP)--A Commercial Court in London has restrained an Indian state government from blocking international arbitration proceedings by the U.S. power giant Enron to recover claims of up to $5 billion, a company statement said Friday. "The injunction facilitates a timely and impartial review by the international arbitration panel of the dispute between the Dabhol Power Company and the Maharashtra state government," said the statement issued in Bombay, India's financial capital. Wednesday's court injunction in London is expected to block the state government's move to settle the dispute in India through the state-owned Maharashtra Electricity Regulatory Commission. Enron said the original contract for the disputed Dabhol power project required international arbitration. The company accused the state government of using a delaying tactic by trying to halt the international arbitration in favor of a settlement procedure in India. Enron has a 65% stake in the Dabhol Power Co. Its 2,184-megawatt power project is India's biggest foreign investment. In phase one of the project, Enron supplied electricity from naphtha for its sole customer, the Maharashtra State Electricity Board, which has said it can't afford the prices negotiated seven years ago. The contract included a federal government guarantee to cover any nonpayment. Enron has said guarantee hasn't been met, despite two notices to the federal government. The second part of the project, more than 90% complete, involves building a new plant to produce electricity from liquefied natural gas, and a container ship port to import it. Houston-based Enron says it has halted construction for the second phase and it was costing hundreds of millions of dollars.

NEW DELHI -(Dow Jones)- The Commercial Court of London has restrained India's Maharashtra state government from filing a suit in India challenging the international arbitration proceedings initiated by Dabhol Power Co., reports the Hindu Business Line. Dabhol Power is an Indian unit of U.S.-based energy company Enron Corp. (ENE). The newspaper says Dabhol obtained the court order Thursday, and the state government has 23 days to respond. Dabhol is locked in a long-standing payment dispute with its sole buyer, Maharashtra State Electricity Board. Dabhol is a 2,184-megawatt power project located in the western Indian state of Maharashtra. Enron holds a controlling 65% stake in Dabhol. Costing $2.9 billion, the project is the single largest foreign investment in India to date.

India: Enron may seek $30 m to exit Greenfield 10/12/2001 Business Line (The Hindu) Fin. Times Info Ltd-Asia Africa Intel Wire. Business Line (The Hindu) Copyright (C) 2001 Kasturi & Sons Ltd. All Rights Res'd NEW DELHI, Oct. 11 ENRON is looking at a price of about $30 million for exiting from Greenfield Shipping Company, in which one of its affiliates, Atlantic Commercial Inc, is a 20 per cent equity partner. While Enron's 20 per cent stake in the $220-million LNG venture for Dabhol Power Company comes to $11 million, the Houston-based company is understood to have put up a price of $30 million for exiting from Greenfield, bankers familiar with the developments told Business Line. The $30 million price pegged by Enron for its 20 per cent stake comprises $11 million for equity and $19 million for swapping the company's share of the loan liabilities, the sources said. Though Atlantic Commercial Inc is yet to make an official statement on pulling out of the LNG shipping deal, it is understood to have conveyed to the project lenders led by ANZ Investment Bank that such a decision was imminent in view of Enron's plan to exit from Dabhol Power Company. The State-run Shipping Corporation of India (SCI) is a 20 per cent partner in Greenfield, while the remaining 60 per cent equity in the joint venture consortium is held by Japan's Mitsui O.S.K.Lines. In view of the controversy surrounding the power plant, the lenders to the LNG shipping deal have declared an event of default and suspended the last tranche of the project loan worth $55 million. The ANZ Investment Bank-led consortium has already pumped in $110 million out of a total loan commitment of $165 million for the 137,000 cubic metre capacity tanker being build at Mitsubishi's yard in Japan. The three promoters will now have to put in additional investments to the tune of $55 million to take possession of the vessel on the scheduled delivery date of November 15. The board of SCI has not been able to come to a conclusion on putting in extra funds in the project despite discussing the issue several times. A board meet held on Tuesday to discuss the issue again ended in stalemate, Government sources said. SCI's dilemma on making extra investments in the project also centre around the fate of Enron's equity in the deal. In the event of Enron pulling out of the LNG shipping project, its 20 per cent equity would have to be taken over by the two remaining partners. Besides, these two partners would also have to pool-in the additional investments of $55 million amongst themselves in proportion to their revised equity holdings. "However, there is a great question mark over whether Mitsui and SCI should agree to take over the equity of Enron", the sources said. During discussions held in London recently, Mitsui had clearly told the lenders that it was not in favour of putting in extra funds to salvage the LNG shipping deal. Moreover, with the consortium now looking at a charter hire rate of $60,000 to $65,000 per day as against the rate of $98,600 per day agreed with Dabhol Power Company, both SCI and Mitsui feels that the revised charter hire rates would render their investments unviable. According to estimates, at a charter hire rate of $60,000 per day, Greenfield is expected to earn about $22 million per annum. Out of this, $4-$5 million will be spent on operating expenses of the tanker. The remaining $17-18 million will fetch an internal rate of return (IRR) of 7-8 per cent for Mitsui at an equity stake of 60 per cent. "Mitsui feels that an IRR of this level was not sufficient for their investments", the sources said. Whereas, for SCI, the investments would fetch a return of 4-4.5 per cent. "This will be far below the Government norm of 12 per cent IRR for projects involving State-funding," the sources said. P. Manoj Copyright ? 2000 Dow Jones & Company, Inc. All Rights Reserved. India: Dabhol gets restraint order from UK court 10/12/2001 Business Line (The Hindu) Fin. Times Info Ltd-Asia Africa Intel Wire. Business Line (The Hindu) Copyright (C) 2001 Kasturi & Sons Ltd. All Rights Res'd MUMBAI, Oct. 11 THE Commercial Court of London has given an ex parte order restraining the Maharashtra Government from filing a suit in India challenging the international arbitration proceedings initiated by Dabhol Power Company (DPC). The Enron-promoted DPC obtained the order today and the State has 23 days to respond. Maharashtra has been restrained from "commencing or prosecuting or continuing or taking any steps in or otherwise participating in proceedings in any court or tribunal in India in restraint of or otherwise relating to the three arbitrations", the order said. The three arbitrations relate to State guarantees to the project. A DPC spokesman said now "the arbitration process in London would continue as originally contemplated and agreed by the State Government and DPC. This has no bearing on the on-going proceedings involving DPC, MSEB and MERC before the Mumbai High Court and Supreme Court". He also said Maharashtra is not a party to any of the on-going proceedings before the Mumbai High Court and the Supreme Court. "Over the past few months, the State Government and other Government entities have taken actions to avoid complying with their contractual obligations. This has frustrated the rights of international investors that were legally agreed to by the relevant parties several years ago. The injunction facilitates the timely and impartial review by the international arbitration panel of the dispute between DPC and the State," the company said. The arbitration panel had been constituted sometime ago and proceedings were expected to begin any time. However, the proceedings could not take off as a dispute over the jurisdiction of the Maharashtra State Electricity Regulatory Commission had dragged on to the Mumbai High Court and then the Supreme Court. Both courts had restrained DPC from continuing international arbitration pending resolution of the MERC jurisdiction issue. The State Government was expected to file a civil suit in the Mumbai High Court accusing the company of fraud and misrepresentation. Internal differences in the Government and the legal team over proving "fraud" had led to the resignation of the State counsel. Our Bureau Copyright ? 2000 Dow Jones & Company, Inc. All Rights Reserved. USA: Sempra's fiber/natgas technology could begin in Dec. 10/11/2001 Reuters English News Service (C) Reuters Limited 2001. SAN FRANCISCO, Oct 11 (Reuters) - A Sempra Energy unit said on Thursday its new system for running fiber-optic cable through natural gas pipelines, in turn leaving city streets intact, could begin commercial service in December. Putting fiber-optic lines in existing natural gas pipelines - which already have cleared rights-of-way - could tackle the telecommunications industry's "last mile" problem of connecting end users to outlying fiber-optic cable networks without tearing up roadways. A surge in demand for high-speed Internet access has led telecommunications companies to pour billions of dollars into vast nationwide fiber-optic systems that carry data to computers, phones and screens faster than traditional copper wires. Sempra Fiber Links, a unit of San Diego-based Sempra Energy, made the announcement after its first installation of the technology in the gas distribution system of Frontier Energy, a Sempra Energy unit in North Carolina. Sempra's technology involves encasing fiber-optic cable in a protective polyethylene conduit before inserting it through the same local gas lines serving utility customers. The company said installing the cable would not prevent a utility from servicing its gas lines or keeping them safe. Jennifer Andrews, a Sempra Fiber Links spokeswoman, said the company was discussing its fiber-in-gas system with gas utilities throughout the United States. SAVINGS Andrews said companies using the technology could save from 30 percent to 50 percent on last mile costs compared with traditional trenching and installation methods. Sempra Energy unit Southern California Gas Co., one of the largest gas utilities in the U.S. with about 18 million customers, plans to use fiber-in-gas technology in its system as soon as it is approved by the California Public Utilities Commission. Energy companies that have ventured into the fiber-optic business by building infrastructure and/or through bandwidth trade, include Williams Cos ., El Paso Corp. ., Enron Corp. , Dynegy Inc. , Duke Energy , Consolidated Edison Inc. and Montana Power Co. . In March 2000, Montana Power announced plans to divest its energy business and invest the proceeds into its broadband and telecommunications unit Touch America.
