12. Observed Improvements Peak day in March had only 31% of jobs completing within 2 hours

13. Observed Improvements Peak day in May had 66% of jobs completing within 2 hours

14. Observed Improvements April’s On-line response time improved 500% as a result of: • Tuning of the On-line Volumetric Edit Submission • Tuning Allocation database indexes

15. 3. Registry Statistics(Nov 02- Apr 03) • 7236 User IDs established • 16.2 million on-line “hits” (50,000/hour at peak periods) • Monthly batch transactions(e.g. March 2003) • DOE 22,250 • EUB 20,414 • Industry 23,419 • TOTAL 66,083 • Service Desk calls to March 03: over 23,000 • Training • # of Learners and Supervisors 4,920 • # of folders studied 81,848 • # of folders completed 75,839 • Total number of online courses 62 • Total number of active job aids 43 • Registry Communications • Broadcast Messages 150+ • Tips 40+ • Alerts 60+

16. Registry Service Desk Statistics • Average calls/day 200 • Average call duration 6.9 minutes • Average speed of answer <30 seconds • Target < 75 active assignments • Staffing from 10 at peak, now reduced to 6

17. Current “Hot Topics” • USA Passwords • Training Modules & Red Folders

18. Registry USA Passwords • Have you changed your PRIMARY_USA password? • Currently 519 USA passwords have expired and still require changing. • You must change your USA password in the Registry now to avoid problems later • After approximately June 15, 2003 these USA passwords will only be changed by contacting Client Registry in Edmonton. You will not be able to use the Registry and do it yourself. • The PRIMARY_USA id and the BACKUP_USA id are the only two that can make security and access changes for your BA in the Registry. • The USA at your BA can reset the password for another (working) user as necessary.

19. Training Modules There are more than 19,600 red folders with content that has been updated, but not yet reviewed. • WHY SHOULD I CHECK FOR RED FOLDERS? • Additional job aids and case studies are being added on an ongoing basis. Online courses are being modified to keep current with Registry changes. Learners are notified within the Performance Support System through RED FOLDERS. • Helps you keep pace with changes, staying up to date will save time in the long run • We have added an evaluation question that is directly related to the new material – answer the question correctly and the folder will return to a black (complete) status.

20. EUB NON-COMPLIANCE UPDATE

21. EUB Non Compliance • CAPP letter requesting EUB: • Maintain shadow billing until non-compliance reports are working correctly • Review metering difference over 20% and oil imbalance • Grace Period for pending amendment due to auto populated volumes

22. EUB Non Compliance Shadow Billing Extended • Registry changes are expected to be implemented by the end of June 2003 • EUB extension of shadow billing to September production month • Payable invoices will be generated for the October production month • EUB expects all outstanding errors from Registry inception to be corrected or they will be subject to fees

23. Metering Difference over 20% and Imbalance Errors EUB has agreed to the following: • Oil • No change • The EUB does not concur with a request for a tolerance • Gas • No fee on metering differences greater than 20% if the volume does not exceed 15 103m3 • Exception • Metering difference 100% or over regardless of volume will continue to be subject to the non-compliance fee • Water • No fee on water metering differences • EUB will monitor and if necessary a revised enforcement mechanism may be developed • If required, any enforcement action would be applied only to production monthsfrom the date of implementation • The EUB reserves the right to require amendments if determined by audit

24. Grace Period – Pending amendment due to auto populate • Following further review and discussion Industry and EUB agreed to monitor the levels of such fees and seek other means of resolving the issue.

43. Questions and Answers

44. Gas Received From a Pipeline • Gas flowing in to and out of a pipeline must be through a meter station. • There are many different subtypes of meter stations • All meter stations are set-up by the pipeline operator • Each meter station subtype has specific reporting rules • Each meter station is set-up with a unique ID AB MS ####### • Each meter station reports gas flowing in a single direction

45. Gas Received From a Pipeline • Subtypes of meter stations • 631- Field Receipt • 632 – Interconnect with Auto populate • 633 – Interconnect with No Auto populate • 634 – Interconnect Non Reconciled • 635 – Summary or Non Reporting Receipt • 636 – Non Reporting • 637 – NEB Regulated Field Receipt • 638 – NEB Regulated Interconnect Applicable to Producers Applicable to Pipelines only Reported in the “from/to” field only

46. Gas Received From a Pipeline(Fuel Gas) • Field meter stations indicate the gas is received from the field into the meter station and then into the PL • Interconnect meter stations indicate the gas is coming from (off) a pipeline • Interconnect meter stations can be between two pipelines ie. gas moves from Nova PL to Atco PL ….or • Interconnect meter stations can be between one pipeline and a production facility ie. gas moves from Nova PL to BT, GP or IF for fuel

47. Gas Received From a Pipeline • Subtype 632 used when the pipeline (meter station operator) does not control the measurement of gas. • Subtype 633 should be used when the pipeline (meter station operator) controls the measurement of the gas. • In both instances The connecting facility operator will be named as CSO (Common Stream Operator). The CSO will report the MS receiving gas from the disposing PL and the other facility (BT, GS, GP, IF or PL) will report the receipt from the MS. • Currently auto-populating to upstream facilities is not working for these MS subtypes. This and other additional changes are being looked at to streamline the MS reporting but are not currently available.
