This past winter was the first “curtailment” where I had an opportunity to supply N6 in place of gas for five or six years. It wasn't really a curtailment but more a need to back out higher priced gas the customer had not planned on. I put about 50 truck loads into four plants in two states in the space of 10 days. One of the trucks was late, otherwise it was a perfect delivery.
