Questar Regulated Services Purchases
Instrument Manufactured by Colorado Affiliate
-- Sophisticated Gas Measurement Devices Designed to Cut Costs

LYONS, Colo. — Questar Baseline recently announced the sale of nine remote-controlled BTU-measurement instruments known as R.A.M.S. (Real-Time Applications Management System) to Questar Regulated Services.

     R.A.M.S. is designed to quickly acquire, measure and broadcast data in real time. The instruments will be installed in Questar Gas's distribution system to analyze C1 to C9 hydrocarbons, nitrogen and carbon dioxide in natural gas. Seven of the R.A.M.S. units will be used to replace outdated BTU-analysis technology; the other two will be used in new installations to ensure the quality of gas being supplied to customers.

     "Real-time measurement allows our customers to better determine gas quality, BTU content, and system balancing and control," said Questar Baseline president Bob Forsberg. "Even small discrepancies can have large financial implications — easily justifying the investment in a R.A.M.S. system."

     Designed as an instrument platform, the R.A.M.S. also provides two-way communications which allows data and control information to be published while remote commands for diagnostic and system adjustments are being received. Audit-quality data, chromatograms and diagnostic information are formatted for use by standard computer programs. The testing procedures comply with AGA guidelines.

     "A key feature of R.A.M.S. is the simplicity of the user interface," said Jack Schons, Baseline manager of sales and marketing. "Baseline's pre-programmed software runs in a Microsoft Windows environment, which saves the customers time and money because there's no proprietary system to learn. Just about anyone can operate a R.A.M.S. interface."

     Applied Technology Services (ATS), a subsidiary of Salt Lake City-based Questar InfoComm Inc., (Questar InfoComm is a wholly owned subsidiary of Questar Corp., a $2.3 billion integrated energy resources and services company headquartered in Salt Lake City.) is performing all R.A.M.S. installations and startups. Installation of all nine units should be completed by the end of summer 2000.

     Questar Baseline, also a subsidiary of Questar InfoComm Inc., was established in 1969 and is located in Lyons, Colo. It manufactures, sells, installs and services a complete line of advanced gas-monitoring instrumentation in a wide range of industrial applications.
