A. INITIAL CONTACT
I.
Producer will contact Contract Administration (CA) in writing as to pipeline operating
pressures, capacity, seasonal restrictions, and costs associated with building a meter
station to produce into NFG's pipelines. Producer must provide a map showing the
location of the requested tie-in point.
2. CA will route the NFG Local Producer Meter Request form along with a map showing
the proposed tie-in location to the District Engineer and the local Operations Supervisor
Engineering will work with Operations to document the Pipeline Capacity, Pressure,
MAOP and Relief Set Pressure. The form should be returned to CA within two weeks.
CA will respond in writing to the producer concerning pipeline capacity, pressure, type
of meter required, estimated costs, and required paperwork (i.e., well package) to initiate
the process of building the station.
3. Upon drilling (or purchase) of the well(s), producer will forward the appropriate
information to CA with a letter confirming their request for the meter station and gas
purchase or transportation arrangements.
4. After reviewing this policy and the attached exhibits (i.e., Exhibit A - Contractor &
Supplier List and Exhibit B- Material Specifications List), the producer must decide
which approved contractor will be employed by the producer.
5. If the station is to be installed on a transmission facility, the producer will be required to
provide CA with a current tax map showing the current name and address of the
landowner and all adjoining landowners' names and addresses so that CA can comply
with FERC Order 609.
B. APPROVED CONTRACTORS
I. An approved contractor must be selected from the list shown in Exhibit A - Table I. The
contractor must be chosen appropriately making sure they are approved for the NFG
division which owns the subject pipeline and for the type of work to be done (i.e., plastic

F. PRE-FABRICATION OF METER STATIONS
I.
Gathering - meter stations can be pre-fabricated in contractor shops. Contractor must
notify NFG ' s area foreman at least 48 hours prior to assembly. It will be at the
foreman's discretion if inspection will be necessary at the shop during assembly.
2. Level I - same as Gathering.
3. Level 2 - meter stations can be pre-fabricated in contractor shops. Contractor must
notify NFG's area foreman at least 48 hours prior to assembly. NFG's area foreman ,
designated inspector, or engineer will be present to inspect during welding, X-ray, and
pressure testing procedures.
G. WELDING
I.
Gathering - not applicable during pre-fabrication of meter station. If welding is required
for line tap or station piping, it must be performed by an NFG certified welder according
to API 1104 & NFG Welding procedures.
2. Level I - any welding on the meter station, station piping, or line tap must be performed
by an NFG certified welder according to API 1104 & NFG Welding procedures.
3. Level 2 - any welding on the meter station, station piping, or line tap must be performed
by an NFG certified welder according to API 1104 & NFG Welding procedures. Weld
X-rays, or Radiographic Reports must be performed by an approved firm on 100% of all
welds in the shop during fabrication and in the field during installation. Producer or
contractor will notify the NFG area foreman at least 48 hours prior to any and all X-rays.
The NFG area foreman or designated inspector will be present during welding X-ray
procedures. The X-ray reports and film must be submitted to the area foreman and
attached with the Completion Report. (NOTE: The field X-ray al/d pressure testil/g
procedures should be scheduled simultal/eously thus allowil/g for these two evel/ts as
well as NFG il/spectiol/, meter il/stallatiol/, purge, al/d turn-ol/ to be accomplished 01/
the same day if possible. )
H. PRESSURE TESTING
I.
Gathering - once the meter station is installed in the field and prior to line tapping, the
meter station and station piping will be pressure tested to one and a half times or 150%
of the MAOP for a minimum of one hour. Longer tests should be considered for larger
diameters and longer lengths. (NOTE: For plastic pipe the MAOP will be 60 psig
ul/less otherwise specified thereby desigl/atil/g the test pressure at 90 psig.) Test
pressure must stabilize before timing begins for plastic pipe. Allow sufficient time for
fusion joints to cool properly before starting test. The testing medium, which in most
cases will be air but sometimes nitrogen or water, must be approved by the NFG area
foreman. The NFG area foreman will also determine whether spring gauges or dead
weight testers will be used. Spring gauges must be calibrated within 90 days prior to the
test and must indicate increments of two (2) psig or less. Dead weight testers will be
supplied by NFG where possible. The test pressure, duration, and test medium shall be
recorded on the Completion Report.
2. Level I - same as Gathering.
3. Level 2:
Test Pressure - 150 % of the MAOP, or fitting rating (whichever is greater) of the line
to be tapped.
Test Medium - normally water but air or inert gas may be used at the discretion of the
area foreman. Creek water may be used if relatively free of sediment.
Test Duration - a minimum of 12 hours in NY; 8 hours in PA. For short lengths of
pipe (i.e., < 100' ) when the entire circumference and length can be visually examined,
the test may be reduced to four (4) hours after stabilization.
-3-
H. PRESSURE TESTING (Cont.)
3. Level 2 (Cont.):
Test Gauges & Charts - a calibrated recording pressure gauge shall be used indicating
increments of five (5) psig or less. The recording gauge must be calibrated using a
dead weight tester at least hourly for the first and last two hours of the test. A
temperature recording gauge will be used to determine the effect of temperature on the
test.
Taps - final tie-in welds are exempt from the test.
Record Keeping - the test pressure, duration, and test medium shall be recorded on the
completion report. The pressure and temperature charts along with the hydrostatic test
report will also be attached. The recording chart shall be signed by the NFG employee
(and by the PSC staff member for NY stations) witnessing the test.
Notification - in NY the PSC must be notified at least five (5) business days prior to
testing. Either the contractor or NFG's Engineering Department will provide the
notification.
De-watering - the line must be de-watered with at least two (2) runs of a squeegee or
spherical pig. The test medium must be disposed of properly by the contractor. A run
of methanol is recommended during the winter. Any methanol collected at the
downstream end must be disposed of properly by the contractor.
I. LINE TAP
I. Gathering - the approved contractor will be permitted to tap NFG ' s gathering and low
pressure lines. Notice must be given to NFG's area foreman at least 48 hours prior to
tapping. It will be at the discretion ofNFG's foreman as to whether an NFG inspector
will be present during tapping. Any welding involved with tapping hot lines must be
done by a welder certified by NFG according to "API 1107 - Recommended Pipeline
Maintenance Welding Practices." Contractors tapping plastic lines must be qualified
according to section (8)(2) above.
2. Level I - same as Gathering. (NOTE: There may be occasions where due to the
sensitivity or future plans for certain pipelines NFG will reserve the right to utilize its
own crews for tapping.
3. Level 2 - NFG crews will perform any and all taps for Level 2 stations. The producer
will be invoiced.
J. DEPTH OF COVER - STATION PIPING
I. Gathering & Level I - the standard depth shall be 30 inches except in cultivated
farmland, which requires 40 inches. Also, #12 tracer wire and warning tape must be
installed with plastic pipe.
2. Level 2 - the standard depth shall be 42 inches.
K. INSTALLATION OF RECEIPT FACILITIES
