MAOP Sample Clauses
The MAOP (Maximum Allowable Operating Pressure) clause defines the highest pressure at which a pipeline or related equipment can be safely operated. This clause typically specifies the calculation method for determining MAOP, references applicable engineering standards, and may require regular verification or documentation of compliance. Its core practical function is to ensure the safe operation of pressurized systems by setting enforceable pressure limits, thereby reducing the risk of equipment failure or accidents.
MAOP. (i) From time to time, Operator may designate a maximum allowable operating pressure (“MAOP”) on each Pipeline, which may be changed by Operator in its sole discretion upon notice to Customer; provided, however, that if Operator should ever reduce the maximum operating pressure of a Pipeline below 180 psig, then Operator shall use all reasonable efforts to restore the Pipelines to a MAOP of at least 180 psig as quickly as reasonably possible. As of the date hereof, the designated maximum operating pressure on each of the Pipelines is 180 psig. If Operator reduces MAOP below 180 psig, then Operator and Customer will utilize the procedure in Section 28(a)(v) to identify and mitigate the physical and financial impacts of the reduction in MAOP in the same manner that a change in Dock Specification or Product Specification would be resolved.
(ii) During any time period in which the MAOP of the Pipelines is reduced below 180 psig, the Minimum Pipeline Throughput Volume shall be reduced proportionately to the extent that such reduced pressure impairs Customer’s ability to actually throughput Products at the Minimum Pipeline Throughput Volume. Customer shall not deliver any Products into a Pipeline at a pressure that exceeds or could cause the Pipeline to exceed its MAOP, and in the event that Customer determines that an ongoing delivery through a Pipeline may exceed the MAOP of that Pipeline, then Customer shall immediately shut down the delivery and cause the pressure to be reduced. Customer shall immediately notify Operator at any time that the MAOP of a Pipeline has been exceeded. Customer shall conduct all pumping operations in accordance with applicable U.S. Department of Transportation regulations, using adequately trained and qualified personnel. Customer shall maintain and make available for Operator’s inspection recording charts reflecting a true and accurate record of line pressure. Upon request, Customer shall provide Operator with dynamic volumetric pipeline monitoring or volumetric flow rates and cumulative total volumes of total volumes. In the event that the difference between pipeline monitoring readings or shipper and receiver total volumes exceed three percent (3%) or becomes greater than two percent (2%) for longer than four (4) hours, Customer shall shut down the transfer and shall not resume such transfer until the pipeline monitoring readings can be reconciled or the difference between shipper and receiver cumulative totals reconciles to wit...
MAOP. HPL shall operate the HPL Facilities at pressure sufficient to effectuate deliveries into the HPL Pipeline from TGPL. Such deliveries from TGPL shall in no event exceed the maximum allowable operating pressure (“MAOP”) of the HPL Pipeline.
MAOP. From time to time, Operator may designate a maximum allowable operating pressure (“MAOP”) on each Pipeline, which may be changed by Operator in its sole discretion upon notice to TRMC; provided, however, that if Operator should ever reduce the maximum operating pressure of a Pipeline below 180 psig, then Operator shall use all reasonable efforts to restore the Pipelines to a MAOP of at least 180 psig as quickly as reasonably possible. As of the date hereof, the designated maximum operating pressure on each of the Pipelines is 180 psig. TRMC shall not deliver any Products into a Pipeline at a pressure that exceeds or could cause the Pipeline to exceed its MAOP, and in the event that TRMC determines that an ongoing delivery through a Pipeline may exceed the MAOP of that Pipeline, then TRMC shall immediately shut down the delivery and cause the pressure to be reduced. TRMC shall immediately notify Operator at any time that the MAOP of a Pipeline has been exceeded. TRMC shall conduct all pumping operations in accordance with applicable U.S. Department of Transportation regulations, using adequately trained and qualified personnel. TRMC shall maintain and make available for Operator’s inspection recording charts reflecting a true and accurate record of line pressure. Upon request, TRMC shall provide Operator with dynamic volumetric pipeline monitoring or volumetric flow rates and cumulative total volumes of total volumes. In the event that the difference between pipeline monitoring readings or shipper and receiver total volumes exceed three percent (3%) or becomes greater than two percent (2%) for longer than four (4) hours, TRMC shall shut down the transfer and shall not resume such transfer until the pipeline monitoring readings can be reconciled or the difference between shipper and receiver cumulative totals reconciles to within two percent (2%).
MAOP. The term "MAOP" shall mean the Maximum Allowable Operating Pressure.
MAOP. HPL shall deliver the gas to the TEJAS Pipeline at pressures existing from time to time in the HPL Pipeline. TEJAS shall deliver gas to the HPL Pipeline Facilities at pressures existing from time to time in the TEJAS Pipeline pressure sufficient to effectuate deliveries at pressures existing in the HPL Pipeline from time to time, which shall in no event exceed the maximum allowable operating pressure ("MAOP") of the HPL Pipeline. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, each Party shall be responsible for the OPP for their respective pipelines.
MAOP. In the event that the MAOP of the Pipeline is increased (whether in accordance with revision of AS2885 or otherwise), the Service Providers will provide the Shipper with a minimum of three (3) Months’ notice of its implementation of the increased MAOP.
MAOP. HPL shall deliver the gas to the BEP Facilities at pressures existing from time to time in the HPL Pipeline, unless otherwise agreed by the parties in an applicable gas sales or transport agreement. The BEP Facilities shall include OPP equipment which shall be set at a pressure not to exceed the MAOP of the BEP Plant, as it may be modified from time to time.
MAOP. HPL shall deliver the gas to the COPANO Facilities at pressures existing from time to time in the HPL Pipeline. HPL's current established MAOP of the HPL Pipeline is 1022 p.s.i.g. If HPL modifies it's system such that its MAOP for the HPL Pipeline exceeds the MAOP of COPANO's Pipeline, HPL shall reimburse COPANO for any reasonable costs incurred for over-pressure protection ("OPP") for the COPANO Pipeline. If COPANO lowers the MAOP of the COPANO Pipeline below 1022 p.s.i.g. (the current MAOP of the HPL Pipeline), COPANO shall, at its sole cost and expense, install any required OPP for the COPANO Pipeline.
MAOP. HPL shall deliver the gas to the RNP Facilities at pressures existing from time to time in the HPL Pipeline. RNP shall deliver the gas to the HPL Facilities as pressure sufficient to effectuate deliveries at pressures existing in the HPL Pipeline from time to time. The RNP Facilities and the HPL Facilities shall include OPP equipment which shall be set at a pressure not to exceed the MAOP of the RNP Pipeline or the HPL Pipeline respectively, as they may be modified from time to time. Each Party shall properly operate, maintain, inspect, test, and document its respective OPP devices on an annual basis and shall provide such documentation to the other Party if requested.
MAOP. HPL shall deliver the gas to the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Facilities at the pressures existing from time to time in the HPL Pipeline at the Interconnect unless otherwise agreed by the parties in an applicable gas sales or transport agreement, however, the pressure will never exceed 1200 psig.
