Pipeline and Terminal Reporting Changes Meeting February 11, 2004 The Petroleum Registry of Alberta Energizing the flow of information Pipeline and Terminal Reporting Changes Meeting February 11, 2004

Agenda Introductions Purpose of the Meeting Reporting Changes Background Design Changes Implementation Other

Purpose of the Meeting Inform the Pipeline and Terminal Operators of the changes to the pipeline and terminal reporting Discuss the Implementation Process and Timing of the changes Capture any other input from the Pipeline and Terminal Operators

Background of Reporting Changes Gas Pipeline Issues: TCPL is required to report many “paper” pipelines in order for the Registry to accommodate the large number of meter stations and “auto” population of activities. ATCO also has large files with many meter stations and “auto” population of activities --- requires processing after Registry hours. Volumetric Changes to a single meter station require the entire PL to be resubmitted – results in large amount of processing in order to change one number. Some pipeline to pipeline activities are not able to be reported under the current setup and rules.

Background of Reporting Changes – con’t Oil & NGL terminal/pipeline Issues Liquids Pipelines and Terminals are unable to report DISP’s to Alberta facilities when they control the measurement of the product. Other facility operators are incorrectly reporting REC from these TM and PL facilities using: Wrong volumes Incorrect facility ID’s

Background of Reporting Changes – con’t Changes required to reflect the true business process for pipelines Funding Shared equally Industry $ 42 K DOE $ 42 K EUB $ 42 K Total cost $126 K

Summary of Changes For terminals: The terminal operator is in control of reporting the majority of volumes received at and disposed from the terminal. When two terminals are involved then the receiving terminal is in control and will report the received volume. When a pipeline is involved then the pipeline is in control of reporting both receipts from and dispositions to the terminal. For pipelines: The pipeline operator is in control of reporting both receipts into and dispositions from the pipeline unless there is another pipeline involved. When two pipelines are involved then the receiving pipeline is in control and will report the received volume. Please note: None of the above impacts reporting when the receiving or delivering facility/entity is not reporting in the Registry.

Implementation Steering Committee approval was received January 21, 2004 Development has commenced and is to be completed and system tested by March 31st Acceptance Testing will occur in April Conversion, by the Registry, to the new process is estimated at 5 days and will take place right after the EUB deadline – approx. May 20th

Implementation - con’t Prior to implementation of the changes, cleanup and validation is needed on existing data Pipeline & Terminal operators need to validate existing volumetric filings and confirm reporting can be done under new rules. Exceptions should be sent to ann.hagedorn@gov.ab.ca Pipeline operators need to clean up outstanding EUB non-compliance issues, where possible. Including Pending transactions

Implementation Schedule Task Date Required Complete verification of volumetric filing using new reporting rules February 28, 2004 Facility Operators cleanup EUB non compliance items March 31, 2004 Registry Development Complete Registry Acceptance Testing April 1 – 30th Pipeline & Terminal Operators test batch file submissions April 15 – May 15th Registry Conversion May 20 – 25th Go Live with new process May 26th
