⁸The energy value of coal's growth, as measured in BTU, was slightly less dramatic at 1,200% during this period. The growth came in the form of lower BTU subbituminous coal primarily from Wyoming.

¹⁴For Kansas, the Baker Hughes Rotary Rig Count was 25 on 12/29/00 and the average rotary rig count in December 2000 was 25. During 1999, the rig count reached a low of 3 in June. Source - Baker Hughes at: http://www.bakerhughes.com/investor/rig/rig_na.htm

¹⁵Personal Communication from David P. Williams, Kansas Corporation Commission. The 1999 average well head shut-in pressure for the field was 52.5 psig. The original estimated reservoir pressure for the entire Hugoton Field (Chase Group) was 435 psig.

¹⁸Storage deliverability is a function of remaining working gas levels. As working gas volumes decline, the maximum rate that gas can be delivered declines. Working gas levels below 700 bcf can result in late season deliverability below demand requirements. See: J. A. Dieter and David A. Pursell, Underground Natural Gas Storage, Simmons and Company International Energy Industry Research Paper, June 28, 2000. http://www.simmonsco-intl.com/research
