1. The Petroleum Registry of Alberta Energizing the flow of information
Training Session
September 27, 2004

2. Non Operators – Retrieving data from the Registry

3. Retrieving data from the Registry
Non operators have a need to know for a well, well group or unit where they have an working interest ownership in:
the gross volume and/or energy and
their net share of volume and/or energy
Operators must submit volumetric data, which identifies the gross volume and/or energy at each operated facility and well.

4. Retrieving data from the Registry (con’t)
Operators must submit allocations identifying individual ownership for gas & by product crown royalty triggers
Operators can submit allocations identifying individual ownership for all products and activities reported. (Partner reporting)
The number and type of allocations submitted by the facility operator determines what net volume and/or energy data can be retrieved from the Registry. Only data that has been submitted can be retrieved.

5. Retrieving data from the Registry (con’t)
Crown Royalty Allocations only means that non operating partners (Working Interest Owners):
Can retrieve their net volume and energy gas and by-product crown royalty information from the Registry.
Can use the information to compare to or accrue for the gas & by-product crown royalties charged by DOE.
Can use the gas dispositions (sales) to confirm the volume and energy against revenue received.

6. Retrieving data from the Registry (con’t)
Allocations for all products and activities means that non operating partners (WIO) can in addition to the crown royalty related information:
Retrieve all their net volume and energy information for all products and activities from the Registry eliminating the need for a partner reporting volume package from the operator.
Use this information to book/record their volume share of production, inventories, sales etc. for oil and other products.

7. Allocation – WIO report
This report provides by facility, stream and production month:
the gross and net owner (WIO) share of volumes and/or energy for each applicable product and activity.
the calculated net volume and/or energy is based on the gross volumetric record and the applicable allocation.

8. Allocation – WIO report (con’t)
This report can be used to:
Validate information against revenues received on cheque exchange day
Confirm your share of gross is correct
Book accruals for non operated properties
This report should be requested each month after the EUB deadline (18th-20th) but before cheque exchange day (25th)

9. Allocation – WIO report (con’t)
The data on the report is limited to the allocations submitted by the facility operators.
If data is missing from the report.
Contact the operator to confirm if allocations have been filed.
Confirm if the operator is submitting allocations for partner purposes, such as gas production or oil related items (inventory etc.)
Currently not all operators and/or their vendor systems are ready and able to report allocations for non royalty trigger items. Some upgrades required will not be implemented until 2005.

13. Volumetric Facility Activity report
This report provides by facility and production month:
the gross volumes and/or energy for each applicable product and activity.
information previously available on “S” reports

14. Volumetric Facility Activity report (con’t)
This report can be used to:
Identify gross volumes, hours and energy at facilities and wells.
Determine if your volumes are reasonable at the facility level, i.e. your share of production compares to your share of disposition.
Cumulative months of data can identify treads of production increase or decline.

17. Volumetric Facility Activity report PDF

18. Allocation – OAF report
This report provides by facility, stream and production month:
the net owner (WIO) share of volumes and/or energy for each applicable product and activity.
the Registry calculated and operator submitted net volume and/or energy.

19. Allocation – OAF report (con’t)
When the WIO report information does not match revenue volumes received, this report can be used to:
Identify if the operator submitted owner volumes were recalculated by the Registry.
Review with the operator instances when differences between submitted and calculated volumes are too large to be associated with rounding issues.
