Maximum working gas level
has the meaning ascribed to it in Section 6, paragraph 5 of the GT&Cs.

Minimum working gas level
has the meaning ascribed to it in Section 6, paragraph 5 of the GT&Cs.

Natural gas
Mixture of hydro­carbon compounds (mainly methane) and other gaseous compounds (such as nitrogen and carbon dioxide). Natural gas is found in natural under­ground reser­voirs. It is an environ­men­tally friendly energy source due to its high purity. As natural gases in the different reser­voirs have different compo­si­tions, they have different combustion charac­te­ri­stics.

Natural gas speci­fi­cation
has the meaning ascribed to it in Section 14 of the GT&Cs.

Natural gas storage service
has the meaning ascribed to it in Section 5 of the GT&Cs.

Nomination
Prior infor­mation given by storage customer about the natural gas quantities to be injected or withrawn within specific periods in accor­dance with Section 10 of the GT&Cs and the operating manual storage.

Non-binding mainte­nance forecast
has the meaning ascribed to it in Section 17, paragraph 2 of the GT&Cs.

Normal condition
Normal condition is the reference condition used to compare natural gases in different operating condi­tions. It is indicated by the suffix “n” and is deter­mined by the natural gas pressure in normal condition pn = 1013.25 hPa = 1.01325 bar as well as the natural gas tempe­rature in normal condition Tn = 273.15 K = 0 oC.

Normal cubic metre or m³ (Vn)
Volume of a specific quantity of natural gas in normal condition.

Notifi­cation of retrieval
has the meaning ascribed to it in Section 15, paragraph 2 of the GT&Cs.

Operating manual storage
as published on BEB´s website and amended from time to time.

Opera­tional flow order
has the meaning ascribed to it in the operating manual storage, Secion VV, paragraphs 6 and 9.
