Tony, the idea we had discussed at our meeting with Drew was somehow  acquiring capacity on El Paso in order to access the South Needles  interconnect with SoCal.
Currently SoCal lets El Paso deliver to S. Needles  but does not extend the same privilege to TW.
I'm unsure how it would work.
TW does have a couple of interconnects with El  Paso's system.
I would simply say in the memo that one solution to the  constraint at Topock might be to get some shippers to switch to South  Needles, and deliver gas to South Needles after twisting SoCal's arm and  letting us in, or somehow acquiring capacity on El Paso (or otherwise using  their system) to access South Needles.
Obviously we will need to flesh this  out from an economic, regulatory and legal standpoint.
I will discuss it  with Jeff when he returns.
My apologies for the delay.
Call if you have any  questions or comments to discuss!
