The Petroleum Registry of Alberta Energizing the flow of information

The Petroleum Registry of Alberta

Non Operators –

Retrieving data from the Registry

The Petroleum Registry of Alberta

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.

The Petroleum Registry of Alberta

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.

The Petroleum Registry of Alberta

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.

The Petroleum Registry of Alberta

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.

The Petroleum Registry of Alberta

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.

The Petroleum Registry of Alberta

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)

The Petroleum Registry of Alberta

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.

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

The Petroleum Registry of Alberta

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.

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.

The Petroleum Registry of Alberta

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.
