§3374 Clauses Prohibiting Certain Sales, Transportation, and Commingling

Summary

Makes certain first-sale contract terms for natural gas invalid when the gas is covered by this chapter. Contracts cannot bar mixing that gas with gas under the Commission’s jurisdiction under the Natural Gas Act. They cannot stop selling or shipping the gas to people the Commission regulates or block interstate sale or transport. They also cannot end the contract or let a party end it just because the gas was mixed, sold, or transported. "Natural gas covered by this chapter" means three types: gas not committed to interstate commerce as of November 8, 1978; gas whose sale in interstate commerce is allowed under sections 3362(a) or 3371(b) or by an assignment under section 3372(a); and gas whose interstate transportation is under orders in section 3362(c) or section 3363(b), (c), (d), or (h) or is authorized by the Commission under section 3371(a).
