55

Receipt Operator Allocation Total

Delivery Operator Allocation Total

• Net Allocated Quantities matches to measured flows of 2,500.

• Operator is allocated the difference between measured flows and scheduled quantities. In

this example a due shipper imbalance was created on the OBA.

LINK® System Customer Interface Impact of OBA Nominations on Allocations

• OBA Nominations appear on the allocation screens and reports as

scheduled quantities.

• The OBA’s allocated number is the imbalance on these screens and reports.

• The “Variance” column on the Allocation screen should not be referenced as

the imbalance because it includes scheduled quantities from the OBA

contract.

• The OBA nomination allows the pipeline to evaluate imbalance resolution for

scheduling purposes.

• We will now look at what happens with high measurement

56

TABS ALLOCATION EXAMPLE (LOW AND HIGH PDA)

DELIVERIES IN

RECEIPT OUT

IMBALANCE

90

LINK® System Customer Interface TABS Allocation Example ( Low and High PDA)

• Verbiage can be confusing as gas placed into a TABS pool (service point) is called “Deliveries In”. Gas taken out of a TABS pool (service point) is called “Receipts Out”.

• Allocations are generated based on TABS contract and Operational Impact Area (OIA).

• The system has internal algorithms for allocating TABS pools so no PDA is applicable. The allocation algorithms are as follows:

– Deliveries into the service point equals the allocation at the supplying physical receipt points.

– Supply from another TABS customer is allocated the same as the scheduled nomination.

– Receipts out of the service point are kept whole preventing the shipper from incurring an imbalance at the receipt point.

91

LINK® System Customer Interface

TABS Allocation Example - Deliveries In (Low PDA)

• WVU Gas ranks to keep WVU with the Upstream Contract to be kept whole.

111

LINK® System Customer Interface

Upstream Contract Example (Upstream Entity – High PDA)

• WVU Gas questions why their PDA rankings did not work.

• It is explained that if you have the Upstream Contract in the activity it treats it as a separate line item and therefore gets allocated as a separate line item at the Receipt Operator level and the allocation from the Receipt Operator Level is carried down at the Upstream Level.

• WVU Gas has two options, they can call the Receipt Operator and have them change the PDA or WVU Gas can -0- the nom with the Upstream Contract and create a new activity with WVU Gas only in the Upstream Name and then they would be able to rank at the Upstream Level and Receipt Shipper Level

112
