Introduction

To maintain GGSs:

1. Select Master > Entities > Maintenance to reach GGS Maintenance, or highlight the GGS in Explorer and click either the Master, Production Master, or DOI buttons on the right-hand menu.

You can create and/or maintain GGSs in this screen.

Master

To create a new Gathering System, including the use of the Copy button, a user will need to have a Corporate role with Full Access to the GGSCreate and the GGSMaintenanceEdit security components. To delete a Gathering System a user will need to have a Corporate role with Full Access to the GGSDelete and the GGSMaintenanceEdit security components. To edit an existing Gathering System that is attached to a Control Group a user will need a Control Group role with Full Access to the GGSMaintenanceEdit security component. To edit an existing Gathering System that is not attached to a Control Group a user will need a Corporate role with Full Access to the GGSMaintenanceEdit security component.

The Master tab within GGS Maintenance captures both mandatory and optional fields that may vary by province. All fields are self-explanatory.

Production

The Production tab is where the GGS is put on or taken off production.

Analysis

Gas Flow

This tab is enabled when the GGS is linked to a gas flow enabled control group.

FIELD	DESCRIPTION

FIELD	DESCRIPTION
IPS Adjustment Option	This is a drop-down list with options including Adjust theoreticals by prorating actuals (excl Rem Whole), Adjust theoreticals by prorating actuals, or No adjustment option being used. The default value is No adjustment option being used and when not a Gas Flow facility, the other two options do the same thing. For a Gas Flow facility, using Adjust theoreticals by prorating actuals (excl Rem Whole) will ensure that any Remain Whole volumes being delivered into the facility are not adjusted as part of this. Note: This option is set to No adjustment option being used and is protected when the Allocation Method for products is not Ideal Product Shrinkage.
Allocate Consumption By Usage ID	This is a drop-down list with options including Yes or No . Default is No. Tips If you want the theoretical volumes used in production allocation to be adjusted for consumption or you want to use the various gas shrinkage reports ( Gas Shrinkage Summary Report , Gas Shrinkage Activity Details Report ), you should set Allocate Consumption By Usage ID to Yes. Only when consumption is allocated to the Usage ID is it allocated down to the entity/owner level (see Consumption Allocation for more information ).
Recombination Required At Well	This is a drop-down list with options including Yes or No .
Automatically Update Gas Flow Dispositions	This is a drop-down list with options including Yes or No . Default is Yes. Tips If you have products other than Raw Gas being processed at the gathering system, you should set Automatically Update Gas Flow Dispositions to No. Without this set to No, you will not be able to add any receipts/dispositions for the other product(s). Note: This also means that if you make any changes to the Gas on the standard GGS Balance screen, you will have to click the Update Gas Flow Dispositions and Save button on the Gas Flow Balance or manually update the Gas Flow Balance to ensure that the two Balance screens are in sync.
Gas Revenue Type	This is a drop-down list with options including Gigajoule or Sales Volume.
Split Order By Delivery	This is a drop-down list with options including Yes or No . When this option is Yes, Production Orders will be generated for each non-consumption disposition instead of a single Production Order per product. Note: This option is only taken into account when the facility is using the IPS allocation method.
Produce Gasflow Inlet File	This is a drop-down list with options including Yes or No .
Use Derived Analysis	This is a drop-down list with options including Yes, Net, or No. Select Yes to have the application create and use a derived analysis when no analysis is found. A derived analysis is calculated based on the composition of the product's theoretical volumes coming into the gathering system. Note: A Net derived analysis for Raw Gas will also be created, but not used, so that it can be viewed. Select Net to have the application create and use a Net derived analysis for Raw Gas when no analysis is found. A Net derived analysis is like the derived analysis except that any products, other than Raw Gas, that are produced at the gathering system are netted off the Raw Gas theoretical volumes prior to the calculation of the analysis. Note: Liquid volumes produced at the gathering system are converted to their gas equivalent (by component using GPSA factors) prior to being netted from the theoretical volumes. For all products other than Raw Gas, the Net option will behave the same as Yes. If there are no non-Raw Gas products being produced from the gathering system, the Net derived analysis will be the same as the derived analysis. If No is selected, an actual analysis must be entered, either on the disposition(s) or as a production analysis. Run the Sales Meter Component Details report to view the calculated derived analyses and the analyses used for dispositions, production, etc.
CO2 Allocation Option	This is a drop-down list with options including Do not allocate, All wells/tracts or Wells/tracts exceeding CO2 Threshold .
Theoretical Heat Method	This is a drop-down list with options including Wellhead heat or Wellhead net of liquid.

Maintain Products at a GGS

A row will be automatically added for RAWGAS with an Allocation Method = Not Applicable.

To Add a Product to the Grid:

1. Select a product from the drop-down list.

2. Select an Allocation Method then click the Add button.

Alternatively, you can click the Add Multiple Products button to add more than one product at a time.

To Remove a Product from the Grid:

1. Select the checkbox next to the product and then click the Delete Row(s) button.

COLUMN	DESCRIPTION

COLUMN	DESCRIPTION
Product	This is a drop-down list with options including: RAWGAS - Raw Gas (Only valid for Gas Flow properties) OIL - Oil WCOND - Wellhead Condensate GAS - Gas CO2 - Carbon Dioxide C02MX - Carbon Dioxide Mix CO2SP - Carbon Dioxide Spec C1MX - Methane Mix LITEMIX - Lite Mix H2O - Water COND - Condensate LPGNGL - LPG/NGL C2 - Ethane C2MX - Ethane Mix C2SP - Ethane Spec C3 - Propane C3MX - Propane Mix C3SP - Propane Spec C4 - Butane C4MX - Butane Mix IC4MX - Iso-Butane Mix IC4SP - Iso-Butane Spec NC4MX - Normal Butane Mix NC4SP - Normal Butane Spec C4SP - Butane Spec C5 - Pentane C5MX - Pentane Mix C5SP - Pentane Spec IC5MX - Iso-Pentane Mix IC5SP - Iso-Pentane Spec NC5MX - Normal Pentane Mix NC5SP - Normal Pentane Spec C6 - Pentane Plus C6MX - Pentane Plus Mix C6SP - Pentane Plus Spec SUL - Sulphur
Allocation Method	This is a drop-down list with options including Not Applicable, Gathered Volume, Grouped Component, Component, Ideal Product Shrinkage, and Balance Only. See Gas & By-Product Allocations for more information. Note: Balance Only can only be used for products OIL, H2O and WCOND. See Oil and Water at Gas Plants or GGS for more information.
Components	This field is only populated for products using the Grouped Component allocation method. It is auto-populated with a comma-delimited list of the components included in the product. Note: The column header has a +/- icon that can be used to expand/collapse the size of the column.
Enter Components	This column will contain a Enter Components link for products using the Grouped Component allocation method. Select the Enter Component link to maintain the list of components to be included in the product.
Track Inventory	This is a drop-down list with options including Yes or No .
GEF	This field is auto-populated from GPSA Component Factors (Administration > Work Management Control > GPSA Component Factors). This field is modifiable and can be entered for all products other than RAWGAS, OIL, WCOND, GAS and H2O.
Report As	This is a drop-down list with options including Yes or No .
Override Delivery Code	This is an optional field.
Report As Product	This optional field allows you to override how the product is reported on the Petrinex submissions. It is enabled for Alberta gathering systems, Manitoba gathering systems after the MB Petrinex Implementation D ate, Saskatchewan gathering systems, and British Columbia gathering systems after the BC Petrinex Implementation Date . Select available options from the drop-down list: C02MX - Carbon Dioxide Mix CO2SP - Carbon Dioxide Spec C1MX - Methane Mix LITEMIX - Lite Mix COND - Condensate LPGNGL - LPG/NGL C2 - Ethane C2MX - Ethane Mix C2SP - Ethane Spec C3 - Propane C3MX - Propane Mix C3SP - Propane Spec C4 - Butane C4MX - Butane Mix C4SP - Butane Spec C5 - Pentane C5MX - Pentane Mix C5SP - Pentane Spec C6 - Pentane Plus Note: If the product is already at its lowest level (MX/SP), Report As Product is disabled. Petrinex groups products together before balancing, therefore when the Qbyte Metrix product is i.e. IC4-MX and NC4-MX, Petrinex will group them as C4MX. Report As Product is also disabled for products OIL, WCOND, GAS and RAWGAS.
Has Analysis	This is a display-only field. Entered will be displayed when an analysis is available in the text. When an analysis is not available, None will be displayed.
Enter Analysis	Select the Enter Analysis link to add an analysis for product inventory.

Add Multiple Products

The following window is displayed when the Add Multiple Products button is clicked (in Edit mode from the GGS Maintenance Gas Flow tab). Products can be searched by product code, description and parent product.

To Display Child Products:

1. Select the Include Child Product checkbox and then the Search button.

2. Select a product or multiple products by selecting a row(s) and then the Select and Return button to return to the previous screen.

The Allocation Method will be defaulted to what is selected as the Allocation Method on the previous screen.
If the product already exists in the previous screen, the Allocation Method will not be overwritten.

Enter Components

The following pop-up is displayed when the Enter Components link is clicked for a product using the Grouped Component allocation method. When a product is set to use the Grouped Component allocation method, by default, all components are included. The client must use the Enter Components link to modify the list of components to be included in the product.

Indicate which components are to be included in the product by setting the Selected column associated with each component and clicking the Apply button. At least one component must have Selected = Yes for the Apply to be successful. Clicking the Revert button will undo any changes made on the Enter Components screen since it was last launched, but will remain on the Enter Components screen.
