Overview

Gas Flow Balance is used for Batteries and Gathering Systems attached to a Gas Flow Control Group as a supplement to their general Balance screens. The screen can be reached from the Explorer when a Gas Flow Battery or Gathering System is selected, or from the Battery Balance - Gas tab or GGS Balance. The products balanced on this screen are determined by the products set up on the Battery Maintenance - Gas Flow or the Gathering System Maintenance - Gas Flow tab, accordingly.

For more information on how to receive or dispose of oil, wellhead condensate, and water at a gathering system, see:

Summary Balance

The Balance area displays the overall balance of the facility across all products: Receipts, Shrinkage, Consumption, Processed Gas and Metering Difference.

Clicking the Notes button will pop-up the Notes window to view/update notes for the facility/production date.
Clicking the Balance button will run a preliminary calculation of by-product equivalent shrinkage etc. to calculate the volumes that appear in the Summary Balance.
Clicking the Market Master button will launch the Market Master screen. Once you are on the Market Master screen, clicking the Cancel button will bring you back to the Gas Flow Balance.

If the facility is out of balance, Not Balanced will be displayed just above the Production Date with a Balance Checks link next to it.

Product Balance

The Product Balance grid displays a summary for each product. To view/update the Receipt and Disposition details for a specific product, highlight the product.

1. Click the Edit button to open the Product Balance grid to edit and update Gains/Losses or Closing Inventory.

The Gains/Losses and Closing Inventory fields allow data entry.
Action buttons include: Save, Revert and Cancel.

2. Click the Show Selected Only button to display the Product Balance section for the selected Product. There may be a large number of products being displayed, and therefore this button allows you to isolate the product that is being balanced.

When the Show Selected Only button is selected, the Product Balance grid only displays the selected product. The button label changes to Show All and two new buttons are displayed on either side called Previous Product and Next Product.

Click the Previous Product and Next Product buttons to balance the products one at a time.
Click Show All to display all the products again.
