Re: New Counterparty Transaction
Russell: My risk group frequently uses the New Counterparty label for internal counterparties that do not have a trading book. This transaction was a hedge for the acquisition of the paper plant we announced recently. I'm not sure who the internal group is that did the transaction. Dutch Quigley should be able to help. John.
From: Russell Diamond 07/19/2000 05:22 PM To: John Arnold/HOU/ECT@ECT cc: Subject: New Counterparty Transaction John A trade came across our morning report listed as a 'New Counterparty'.

Andy Zipper@ENRON 07/19/2000 08:27 AM To: John Arnold/HOU/ECT@ECT cc: Subject: Re: By the version of EOL do you mean the new version of stack manager ? If you do, we should have finished testing by today. That means we will roll out today or tomorrow, but Louise wants a more developed roll out plan, so that might slow things down a bit. Not to make excuses, but we have had some serious technical problems with the new release and have had to redesign whole parts of the back end of the system. The problem is around how many things can be linked to a single product and stack manager performance, obviously a serious issue. It has taken us, obviously, a lot longer than we thought to fix it. I think there are still some minor issues that we should discuss, but they should not get in the way of release. If you mean by new version, the phase II website version with sexy content, we are scheduled (cum grano salis) to roll that out in mid august. any questions please feel free to call. -andy

Re: Market Opinion about AGA's
Interesting observation...but I'm not sure I agree. I think consensus opinion is that anything under 2.7 TCF is very dangerous entering the winter. A month ago, analysts were predicting we would end the injection season with around 2.6 - 2.7 in the ground. With the most recent AGA, those projections seem to be closer to 2.7. With supply of gas very inelastic to price in the short and medium term, you must look at the demand side of the equation. The market is trying to price out the right amount of demand (mostly through lost industrial load and fuel switching) such that supplies will be stored rather than burned. Each AGA number is another data point as to whether nat gas is high enough to price out enough demand to reach a comfortable level in storage entering the winter. A low AGA number indicates we haven't priced out enough demand and the market must go up. Certainly, the 97 throws a curve in the bull argument, but the number may be a function of very mild weather, a four day holiday weekend, and reporting noise rather than indicative of a structural shift in the supply/demand equilibrium. We'll know a lot more as the next two weeks' numbers come out. If we get two low injections, watch out. Enron North America Corp.
From: Frank Hayden @ ENRON 07/12/2000 04:39 PM To: John Arnold/HOU/ECT@ECT cc: Subject: Market Opinion about AGA's John, I think the AGA's are not as important to bulls as to bears. In the beginning of the season, AGA's were very important in framing the bull case. The current expectation is that we will go into the winter under stored. I don't believe any additional AGA news can significantly change that expectation. However, I believe Bears, as evidenced today, will feed more heavily off of bearish AGA news, than bulls will off bullish AGA news. At this juncture, I believe that the most potent bullish news has to come from the physical market and weather. I hope you don't mind me expressing my view point on this issue. Thanks, Frank

Re: El Paso Energy Corporation Reports Record Second Quarter Earnings Per Share
Good job....I've got 10% of my portfolio in CGP. Keep up the good work.
"Cooper, Sean" <CooperS@EPEnergy.com> on 07/11/2000 08:03:41 PM To: cc: Subject: El Paso Energy Corporation Reports Record Second Quarter Earnings Per Share http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/000711/tx_el_paso_2.html Tuesday July 11, 5:42 pm Eastern Time Company Press Release SOURCE: El Paso Energy Corporation El Paso Energy Corporation Reports Record Second Quarter Earnings Per Share HOUSTON, July 11 /PRNewswire/ -- El Paso Energy Corporation (NYSE: EPG <http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=epg&d=t> - news </n/e/epg.html>) today announced second quarter 2000 adjusted diluted earnings per share of $0.69, an increase of 73 percent over second quarter 1999 adjusted diluted earnings per share of $0.40. The second quarter 2000 results exclude $0.13 per share of one-time merger-related items. Diluted average common shares outstanding for the second quarter 2000 totaled 242 million. Consolidated adjusted earnings before interest expense and income taxes (EBIT) for the second quarter increased by 55 percent to $408 million, compared with $263 million in the year-ago period. EBIT from the company's non-regulated businesses more than tripled in the quarter to $246 million, and represented 60 percent of consolidated EBIT. ``Outstanding growth in Merchant Energy and continued strong performance in our other non-regulated segments produced these record results,'' said William A. Wise, president and chief executive officer of El Paso Energy Corporation. ``Reflecting our long-standing strategy of building a portfolio of flexible gas and power assets, Merchant Energy's earnings continued to accelerate in the second quarter.'' For the first six months of 2000, adjusted diluted earnings per share increased 84 percent to $1.40 per share, compared with $0.76 for the first six months of 1999. Consolidated EBIT for the six months, excluding non-recurring items, increased 55 percent to $798 million compared with $515 million in the year-ago period. Second Quarter Business Segment Results The Merchant Energy segment reported record EBIT of $152 million in the second quarter 2000, compared with $6 million in the same period last year and $50 million in the first quarter 2000. The physical and financial gas and power portfolio developed over the past several years is creating significant value in the current volatile energy environment. Enhanced trading opportunities around our asset positions, continued strong wholesale customer business, and management fees from Project Electron (the company's off-balance sheet vehicle for power generation investments) all contributed to the record second-quarter performance. The Production segment reported a 30-percent increase in second quarter EBIT to $52 million compared with $40 million a year ago, reflecting higher realized gas and oil prices and lower operating costs following the reorganization of its business in 1999. Weighted average realized prices for the quarter were $2.26 per million cubic feet (MMcf) of natural gas and $19.21 per barrel of oil, up 12 percent and 29 percent, respectively, from the year-ago levels. Average natural gas production totaled 512 MMcf per day and oil production averaged 14,275 barrels per day. The Field Services segment reported second quarter EBIT of $30 million, nearly double an adjusted $16 million in 1999. The increase was due primarily to higher realized gathering and processing margins, together with the acquisition of an interest in the Indian Basin processing plant in March 2000. Second quarter gathering and treating volumes averaged 4.1 trillion Btu per day (TBtu/d), while processing volumes averaged 1.1 TBtu/d. Coming out of one of the warmest winters on record, the Natural Gas Transmission segment reported second quarter EBIT of $190 million compared with an adjusted $187 million a year ago, reflecting the realization of cost savings from the Sonat merger. Overall system throughput averaged 11.3 TBtu/d. During the quarter, Southern Natural Gas received Federal Energy Regulatory Commission approval of its comprehensive rate case settlement filed in March. The International segment reported second quarter EBIT of $12 million compared with $16 million in 1999. Higher equity income from projects in Brazil and Argentina largely offset lower equity earnings from the company's investment in the Philippines. Telecom Update ``We have made substantial progress in the development of our telecommunications business, El Paso Global Networks,'' said William A. Wise. ``Reflecting our market-centric approach to developing new businesses, we have named Greg G. Jenkins, the current president of El Paso Merchant Energy, to head our telecommunications business. Our expertise in building businesses in rapidly commoditizing markets, as demonstrated by our Merchant Energy success, provides us with a key competitive entry point in the telecommunications marketplace.'' Quarterly Dividend The Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.206 per share on the company's outstanding common stock. The dividend will be payable October 2, 2000 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on September 1, 2000. There were 237,786,853 outstanding shares of common stock entitled to receive dividends as of June 30, 2000. With over $19 billion in assets, El Paso Energy Corporation provides comprehensive energy solutions through its strategic business units: Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company, El Paso Natural Gas Company, Southern Natural Gas Company, El Paso Merchant Energy Company, El Paso Energy International Company, El Paso Field Services Company, and El Paso Production Company. The company owns North America's largest natural gas pipeline system, both in terms of throughput and miles of pipeline, and has operations in natural gas transmission, merchant energy services, power generation, international project development, gas gathering and processing, and gas and oil production. On May 5, the stockholders of both El Paso Energy and The Coastal Corporation overwhelmingly voted in favor of merging the two organizations. The combined company will have assets of $35 billion and be one of the world's leading integrated energy companies. The merger is expected to close in the fourth quarter of this year, concurrent with the completion of regulatory reviews.

From: Vladimir Gorny 07/10/2000 02:14 PM To: John Arnold/HOU/ECT@ECT cc: Tanya Tamarchenko/HOU/ECT@ECT, Frank Hayden/Corp/Enron@Enron Subject: Forward-forward Vol John, Per your and Jeff's request, Research and Market Risk Groups have conducted an extensive analysis of the forward-forward vol methodology used in the Value-at-Risk calculation. We analyzed and compared two methodologies: the existing methodology - based on forward (implied) vols an alternative methodology - based on historical vols I would like to schedule about 30 minutes to walk you through the pros and cons of each methodology and get your input. Vlady.

Hey Liz, Thanks for letting me use the phone. A real life-saver. My brother had a Nokia world phone on the trip and it seemed to work better. It got reception some places where mine did not and is more user-friendly. On a different topic...Greg talked me into upgrading to first class for a flight in December to Australia. He talked me into it by agreeing to pay for half. Cliff found it funny and agreed to pay for the other half. I haven't expensed it yet so I'm having Barbara send it on. Thanks, John Liz M Taylor

Re: VaR
Let's meet at 4:00. Vince J Kaminski
06/01/2000 09:19 AM To: John Arnold/HOU/ECT@ECT cc: Vince J Kaminski/HOU/ECT@ECT, Tanya Tamarchenko/HOU/ECT@ECT, Jim Schwieger/HOU/ECT@ECT, Jeffrey A Shankman/HOU/ECT@ECT Subject: VaR John, We have been working for the last few days on VaR related issues. The focus is on Jim Schwieger's storage book as of 5/25 and 5/26 where we had some counterintuitive results. This book is a good candidate for a systematic review of the VaR process. It seems that the problem arises from forward - forward vols used by the VaR system. You can see in the attached spreadsheet that the VaR, on a cumulative basis, jumps on Jan 04, when an abnormal FF vol hits a relatively large position. This FF vol is also much different from the previous day number producing a big jump in VaR. This row (Jan 04) is in magenta font in the attached spreadsheet. Please, look at column D. The abnormal FF vol may result from one of the two factors: a. a bug in the code. We are working with the person in IT who wrote the code to review it. b. a poorly conditioned forward vol curve ( a kink or discontinuity in the fwd vol curve will do it). One solution I can propose, is to develop for the traders a fwd-fwd vol generator allowing them to review the fwd vol curve before it is posted. If it produces a weird fwd-fwd vol, it can be smoothed. Can you meet at 4 p.m. to review our findings? Vince

Doug: To confirm the pricing of the LNG dela:: I can show a $3.01 bid for the Nymex portion of 160,000 mmbtu/day for the time period Jan 2003-Dec 2014. The bid on Henry Hub basis for same time period is -$.0025 resulting in fix price of $3.0075; the bid on Sonat basis is -$.0175 translating into a bid of $2.9925. Notional volume = 70,128 contracts. PV volume = 37,658 contracts. Exposure per $.01 move = $3,760,000 John

Jeff: Sorry for my cryptic answer in regards to the LNG deal on Friday; I was a bit confused by the question. In terms of the gas pricing, this is a deal that should be done. Market conditions are very conducive to hedging a fair amount of the gas. Obviously, a deal this size would require Enron to wear a considerable amount of the risk in the short term, but the risk-reward of the position looks very favorable. I am certainly willing to sign off on this deal around the $3.00 level. John

Re: options
Andy: The problem if we limit the size on options to being what size is offered on the swap hedge, we will not be able to offer adequate size on the options. Optimally, I think we want to offer a minimum size of 100 across all strikes. If the swap is 4/4.5, one a day up, and someone buys half a day, making the market, 4/4.5 one a day by half a day, the size offered on a 10 cent out of the money call might be as low as 30 contracts, a much smaller size than most people want to trade. If we restrict to strikes with a lower delta, we face the problem of not offering enough strikes and not making a market in options that have open EOL interest that have moved closer to the money. Maybe the answer is to assume the swap hedge to be a penny wide two way wrapped around the EOL swap mid market. Thus if the front swap on EOL is 4/4.5 one a day by half a day, the input into the option calculator is 3.75/4.75, 100 up. In this case I think 100 is necessary because once a strike has open interest, we must continue to support it. Thus I anticipate having to make markets in deep itm options as the market moves. In terms of straddle strikes, I think the edge received from buying straddles struck on the EOL offer and vice-versa is not big enough to compensate for what I think the industry will view as a scam and another way Enron is trying to rip people off. Although striking on the mid-market is probably easier for the trader, I actually think striking in five cent increments makes more sense. It allows people to trade out of the position on EOL. Whereas if someone buys the 3085 straddle and the market moves to 3200, they have to call ENE to close the trade. If the trade is struck at 3100, we will have a market on both the 3100 call and put at all times. Secondly, I would anticipate non-volatility driven option traders may elect to sell either just the put or call in this scenario depending on their view of market direction.

re:mkts
Hey: Haven't had the best of months. Like you had some good positions but others wiped out everything. Unbelievable how the whole curve moves as one for 6 months and then separates completely. The z/f/g and f/g/h flies are amazing. Something definitely out of whack. Hard to believe cash in Z will be cantango to F and front spread, F/G, will be 40. Spreads definitely implying we will see some $10+ prints on daily cash at the hub this winter. Hell, already seeing it in the West. The system is just broken there. interesting to see if it is a sign of what can come in the east later. definitely more flexibility in the east so the blowouts won't occur until latter part of the winter. the inelasticity of demand continues to be unbelievable. who would have thunk it. Gas can be 3 times what it was one year ago and not a significant loss of demand. market definitely trained to buy the dips at this point. continues to be a very trending market. most days finish on the intraday high or low. Pira told the boys to hedge jv and cal 2 and the impact has been significant. i quote bids on term strips 5 times a day. understand they are changing their view somewhat tomorrow. wait and see if it relieves some back pressure. very surprised at lack of spec long interest in jv at 4.5 considering the scenario that's being painted.
slafontaine@globalp.com on 11/21/2000 01:06:40 PM To: jarnold@enron.com cc: Subject: re:mkts johnny, hope things re treating you well. this month has been frustrating for me-generally caught many mkt moves but had 2 postions that nearly cancelled all the rest. im finding it really really hard to assess risk now in oil and gas therefore im taking a step back esp in front of holidays and year end. was long mar gas vs backs which worked great but i took profits waayyy too early flat px i think is pretty clear-if weather stays normal to below we keep a flaoor at 5.80-6.00 bucks for another 40 days at least. if we have sustained aboves we drop like a rock in part due to back en d pressure. but spreads-what the hell do we do with em?????????? was just saying to mark silverman there is a huge opportunity here staring us in the face but i hve no idea what it is-i have equal arguements for why sprds shud fall or move out. any great insites? hope all is well and enjoy the long weeknd-we both deserve it. guess the curve will stop blowing out when/if we see the back end selling dry up??

Re: options
Andy: Just a couple of quick items that need to be addressed. First, what happens if the delta of the option is greater than the size of the hedge offered on EOL? Second, what strike are straddles traded at. Are they set at the nearest 5 cent interval or are they mid-market of the EOL quote?

Dutch: The increase in position and subsequent position limit violation was due to two factors. First, a long position was moved into the long-term exotics book due to the nature of the position. I am currently using the ltx to hold longer-term strategic positions. The large increase in position is a reflection of my view of the market. Second, a large customer transaction originated by Fred Lagrasta's group was transacted at the end of the day Monday and was not able to be hedged until this morning. Hence a large position increase occurred for yesterday's position and a corresponding decrease occurred today. John

Re: Nymex NG Swaps
Andy: This past weekend we released a new version of the EOL software that, unfortunately, had a bug. The effect was to lengthen the time delay between numbers changing and when they would show up on the internet to an unacceptable level that increased the number of failed trades. We made the decision to take some of the more volatile products temporarily offline until the fix could be made. I do not anticipate this to be a concern going forward. Thanks for the feedback.

New curve generation methodology
I am changing the way the curve is generated starting in Jan 2004 to better replicate seasonal fundamentals. There are convincing arguments as to why the summer/winter spreads should tighten over time. However, in the previous methodology they blew out. For instance summer/winter in Cal 3 was .232 while Cal 10 was .256. I have added a seasonality dampening function that both contracts the summer/winter spread and applies a premium to the electric load demand months of July and August over time. The formula for the curve remains the same except for a premium lookup for the month as well as for the year. These premiums are as follows: Jan -.008 Feb -.004 Mar -.001 Apr .002 May .003 Jun .004 Jul .004 Aug .004 Sep .003 Oct .002 Nov -.003 Dec -.006 These premiums start in Jan 2004 On Wednesday Jan 2003 settled 2.959, the 3/4 spread was marked at .0375, the 4/5 spread was marked at .0475. In the old methodology Jan 2003 = 2.959 Jan 2004 = 2.959 + .0375 = 2.9965 Jan 2005 = 2.9965 + .0475 = 3.044 In the new methodology Jan 2003 = 2.959 Jan 2004 = 2.959 + .0375 - .008 =2.9885 Jan 2005 = 2.9885 + .0475 -.008 = 3.028 The only change in the formula is
from: Month x = Month (x- 1 year) + lookup on year on year table to Month x = Month (x- 1 year) + lookup on year on year table + lookup on month premium table The seasonality premiums will change over time and I will let you know when I change them

Re:
most bullish thing at this point is moving closer to everyone's psychological $4 price target and that everybody and their dog is still short. next sellers need to be from producer community. saw a little this week with williams hedging the barrett transaction but wouldnt say thats indicative of the rest of the e&p community. short covering rallies will get more common here. velocity of move down has slowed significantly for good (except maybe in bid week). my concern is if we go to $4 and people want to cover some shorts, who's selling it to them? might feel a lot like it did when we were trying to break $5.

Please read the following problem very carefully, and write in a number at the end. You should be ready to defend your answer. Only a number is allowed, not an algebraic equation. Acquiring a Company In the following exercise you will represent Company A (the acquirer), which is currently considering acquiring Company T (the target) by means of a tender offer. You plan to tender in cash for 100% of Company T's shares but are unsure how high a price to offer. The main complication is this: the value of Company T depends directly on the outcome of a major oil exploration project it is currently undertaking. Indeed, the very viability of Company T depends on the exploration outcome. If the project fails, the company under current management will be worth nothing--$0/share. But if the project succeeds, the value of the company under current management could be as high as $100/share. All share values between $0 and $100 are considered equally likely. By all estimates, the company will be worth considerably more in the hands of Company A than under current management. In fact, whatever the ultimate value under current management, the company will be worth fifty percent more under the management of A than under Company T. If the project fails, the company is worth $0/share under either management. If the exploration project generates a $50/share value under current management, the value under Company A is $75/share. Similarly, a $100/share value under Company T implies a $150/share value under Company A, and so on. The board of directors of Company A has asked you to determine the price they should offer for Company T's shares. This offer must be made now, before the outcome of the drilling project is known. From all indications, Company T would be happy to be acquired by Company A, provided it is at a profitable price. Moreover, Company T wishes to avoid, at all cost, the potential of a takeover bid by any other firm. You expect Company T to delay a decision on your bid until the results of the project are in, then accept or reject your offer before the news of the drilling results reaches the press. Thus, you (Company A) will not know the results of the exploration project when submitting your price offer, but Company T will know the results when deciding whether or not to accept your offer. In addition, Company T will accept any offer by Company A that is greater than the (per share) value of the company under current management. Thus, if you offer $50/share, for instance, Company T will accept if the value of the company to Company T is anything less than $50. As the representative of Company A, you are deliberating over price offers in the range of $0/share (this is tantamount to making no offer at all) to $150/share. What price offer per share would you tender for Company T's stock? $______ per/share

You plan to tender in cash for 100% of Company T's shares but are unsure how high a price to offer. The main complication is this: the value of Company T depends directly on the outcome of a major oil exploration project it is currently undertaking. Indeed, the very viability of Company T depends on the exploration outcome. If the project fails, the company under current management will be worth nothing--$0/share. But if the project succeeds, the value of the company under current management could be as high as $100/share. All share values between $0 and $100 are considered equally likely. By all estimates, the company will be worth considerably more in the hands of Company A than under current management. In fact, whatever the ultimate value under current management, the company will be worth fifty percent more under the management of A than under Company T. If the project fails, the company is worth $0/share under either management. If the exploration project generates a $50/share value under current management, the value under Company A is $75/share. Similarly, a $100/share value under Company T implies a $150/share value under Company A, and so on. The board of directors of Company A has asked you to determine the price they should offer for Company T's shares. This offer must be made now, before the outcome of the drilling project is known. From all indications, Company T would be happy to be acquired by Company A, provided it is at a profitable price. Moreover, Company T wishes to avoid, at all cost, the potential of a takeover bid by any other firm. You expect Company T to delay a decision on your bid until the results of the project are in, then accept or reject your offer before the news of the drilling results reaches the press. Thus, you (Company A) will not know the results of the exploration project when submitting your price offer, but Company T will know the results when deciding whether or not to accept your offer. In addition, Company T will accept any offer by Company A that is greater than the (per share) value of the company under current management. Thus, if you offer $50/share, for instance, Company T will accept if the value of the company to Company T is anything less than $50. As the representative of Company A, you are deliberating over price offers in the range of $0/share (this is tantamount to making no offer at all) to $150/share. What price offer per share would you tender for Company T's stock? $______ per/share
