Gas consumed in Denmark, Sweden and the Northern part of Germany originates from the gas producing fields in the Danish part of the North Sea and is piped from the these fields to Nybro gas treatment plant located on the Danish west coast.

DONG Naturgas offers access to its offshore pipelines and Nybro gas treatment plant for third parties requiring to ship gas from the producing fields to the market.

Please, refer to the link Gas System at the right hand side, which shows available offshore Delivery Points for third party access connected directly to the Danish market at the Redelivery Point Nybro.
It is however a precondition for access that certain necessary requirements are fulfilled at the Delivery Points.

Tariffs
The total tariff to be paid by shippers is a 100% capacity tariff ('send or pay' tariff) and is the summation of the annual entry and the exit tariffs stipulated in the table:

2010 annual tariffs	All tariffs in DKK per m3 /day per year
Delivery Point	Tyra East	South Arne	Harald
- Annual entry tariff	0	0	0
Redelivery Point	Nybro 1	Nybro 2
- Annual exit tariff	46.39	46.39

m³ shall correspond to the volume of gas which at 0°C and an absolute pressure of 1.01325 bar and without water vapor occupies the volume of one cubic metre, i.e. Nm³(normal cubic metre).

The annual tariffs are indexed every 1 January in accordance with the Danish consumer price index.

The total tariff is all inclusive (i.e. includes both capex- and opex-elements) and covers an annual standard transportation contract.

DONG Naturgas does also offer standard transportation contracts with a duration of not less than 30 days. The tariffs covering a standard short transportation contract can be calculated as the annual tariff divided by 365 and multiplied by the number of days covered by the contract.

Booking Procedure
Third parties may initiate a non-binding booking procedure (pre-booking) by down loading the request form (cf. link to pdf version to the right), fill it in and send it by facsimile to DONG Naturgas.

The time stamp printed by DONG Naturgas' facsimile machine on a correct filled-in request form serves as documentation of 'first come' among third parties who have pre-booked.

The sender of the request form will receive a receipt from DONG Naturgas including the following information:

1. Confirmation of the pre-booking.
2. Time stamp documenting the reception of the pre-booking.
3. Available capacity in the pre-booked booking period on the time of reception of the pre-booking.
4. Specification of the status of the pre-booking in relation to available capacity.

The pre-booking expires two days prior to the commencement date of the pre-booked booking period, however not later than 30 days after the time stamp and a transportation contract must be closed prior to expiration in accordance with time intervals where transportation contracts can be closed.

Pre-booking of capacity of one or multiple year duration will always receive an earlier time stamp than a pre-booking of capacity of shorter duration (less than one year) irrespective of its time stamp.
Pre-bookings may also expire without closure of a transportation contract.

Amendments to information 4) will on a continuing basis be announced to the sender.
 
The license holders of E&P licenses under development may submit to DONG Naturgas a request for non-binding pre-booking of capacity as a basis for an investment decision. Such pre-bookings will always be time limited.

Closing of Contracts
Transportation contracts of durations of one or multiple years can be closed at any time according to "first come - first served" principle (FCFS), cf. Booking Procedure beneath. It is however a condition that the booked capacity is constant for at least 12 consecutive months and that the booking period commences in the period 1 May to 1 October.

Transportation contracts of shorter duration can only be closed in the following time inter-vals:
