Project Overview - Definitions

The following key definitions and abbreviations apply:

The “APMC Report Submissions” being addressed in this project are Single Shipper Invoices, Tariff Invoices and Equalization Statements.

• “Single Shipper Invoice” refers to the financial statement from a pipeline operator that details the sales transactions at a single shipper pipeline facility for the purchase of receipt volumes from the shipper. Also known as “Producer Statement” or “Final Invoice”.

• “Tariff Invoice” refers to the invoice from a pipeline operator that details the tariff charges incurred at a pipeline facility for transportation and administration services incurred for shipping APMC product.

• “Equalization Statement” refers to the statement received from pipeline operators that details the equalizations charged or paid based on the blended quality of the stream.

“Pipeline Operators” refer to industry Business Associates who operate oil pipelines, custom treating and/or terminal facilities in Alberta. Pipeline Operators are responsible for submitting monthly APMC Report Submissions to the APMC.

6

Project Overview - Why

• The APMC currently receives APMC Report Submissions monthly from

Pipeline Operators in various formats and mediums that are manually

entered into APMC systems. The process for loading, verifying, and

reconciling APMC Report Submissions information is currently a manual

process. The APMC wants to capture this data in Petrinex via a machine-

readable format that will improve the efficiency and accuracy of the process

that pipeline operators would be responsible for submitting.

• This project will introduce changes that will standardize, automate and

support processes related to these submissions for the DOE/APMC and

Pipeline Operators.

Project Overview – Consultation/

Communication Activities

• May 4, 2015 – AB Crown Shippers’ Balance Project Change Leader Meeting: APMC advised pipeline

operators of their interest in obtaining Single Shipper Invoices, Tariff Invoices and Equalization Statements

in a standard format. APMC requested Industry volunteers for consultation/ design meetings.

• July 9, 2015 - APMC sponsored Consultation Meeting #1 with industry/vendor working group to review

requirements, validate available information, review concepts and approach.

• July 29, 2015 – APMC sponsored Consultation Meeting #2 with working group to review additional

requirements and obtain input for Business Case.

• August 27, 2015 – APMC email to Pipeline Operators outlined proposed project, provided listing of data

elements and requested comments.

• September 18, 2015 – APMC/Petrinex email to Pipeline Operators confirmed project approval, provide

high-level project plan, invited participation in additional working group design activities.

• September 18, 2015 – APMC/Petrinex sends report submission data spreadsheet to Industry volunteers to

identify the specific data each pipeline operator currently submits to the APMC. Input provided was used to

identify draft standardized data and terminology for reporting through Petrinex.

• November 19, 2015 – APMC/Petrinex sponsored Industry Working Group Design Meeting reviewed draft

standardized data and terminology, screen mockups and draft CSV and XML schemas. Minutes were

issued with updated documentation and draft Reporting Guide for final comments.

• December 17 2015 – Change Leader Meeting #1 invitation. Included IS specs and draft Reporting Guide.

• August 4, 2016 – “Go Live” for July 2016 Delivery Month.

Discussions with POs and system vendors may take place if/as necessary to address any specific concerns.

A Discrepancy Report and online query processes will be made available to

POs to facilitate identification and resolution of differences.
