Where to Start

10

You have new gas supply that you want to tie into our system:

• Three distinct processes to complete:

• Tie-in of new receipt point

• Set up a production source

• Apply for service at location

• Contact either the Tie-in Coordinator or your Field Contact Person • Email: [email protected]

Page 11: NorthRiver Midstream Inc.€¦ · Processing services in Northeast BC for over 60 years. Our focus on operational excellence, safety of our people, communities, ... on the floating

New Tap

• Completion of the “Tap Application Form” is required for all new physical tie-ins. The form is available online at our web site at:

Tap Application Form – New Tie-ins • The Tie-in Coordinator will coordinate all the required internal processes and

guide you through the F.E.E.D. Process to determine scope, schedule and costs • Once the tie-in is approved, construction completed and the tap in place, the

Producer’s meter station will require inspection • Following completion of the tie-in inspection and the necessary requirements

approved, the MTS Technician will inform the Tie-in Coordinator to proceed with start-up

• A “Start-Up Notice” will be authorized by the Tie-in Coordinator through a Production Facilitation Notice and gas flow may commence

• Once this is complete, final costs will be billed out

11

Page 12: NorthRiver Midstream Inc.€¦ · Processing services in Northeast BC for over 60 years. Our focus on operational excellence, safety of our people, communities, ... on the floating

Production Source Setup

• The Receipt Point Operator (RPO) will send a “Request for New Production Source” form to Volume Accounting to set up a new production source. This is available on our website:

Request for New Production Source

• Production sources are created based on unique producer/shipper relationships behind a receipt point

• Gas well analysis is also required to calculate an initial conversion factor for daily allocation estimates

• Once this is complete, a “Start-Up Notice” is emailed to the RPO

12

Page 13: NorthRiver Midstream Inc.€¦ · Processing services in Northeast BC for over 60 years. Our focus on operational excellence, safety of our people, communities, ... on the floating

Production Source Setup

13

• The RPO is responsible for installing, maintaining and operating the:

• Receipt point • Metering, monitoring and sampling equipment • Pressure control equipment • Electronic flow measurement and communications

• Lack of compliance by the RPO to NorthRiver instructions will be considered to be non-compliance by the Shipper(s) and subject to further action

For more information go to:

Receipt Point Operator (RPO) Roles & Responsibilities

Page 17: NorthRiver Midstream Inc.€¦ · Processing services in Northeast BC for over 60 years. Our focus on operational excellence, safety of our people, communities, ... on the floating

Outage Information

17

• The Area Operating Committee (AOC) is a group consisting of shippers and NorthRiver Operations staff in the specific operating areas: Fort St. John and Fort Nelson

• The AOC negotiates an annual outage schedule for their respective facilities to mitigate the amount of down time at the plant

• Annual and Weekly Planned Outage Schedules are posted initially as Notices and made available on the web site under Informational Postings

• The Outage Coordinator phone number is: 250-262-3439

• For more information, go to: Informational Postings

Page 18: NorthRiver Midstream Inc.€¦ · Processing services in Northeast BC for over 60 years. Our focus on operational excellence, safety of our people, communities, ... on the floating

Measurement

18

• NorthRiver measurement data is finalized on the 5th working day of each month

• Types of measurement and recording devices used: • Orifice meters • Gas turbine meters • Ultrasonic meters • EFM – electronic flow measurement • Charts

Page 19: NorthRiver Midstream Inc.€¦ · Processing services in Northeast BC for over 60 years. Our focus on operational excellence, safety of our people, communities, ... on the floating

Receipt Point Operators

19

• RPO’s submit Raw Gas Transmission (RGT) receipt point daily estimates for each producer at a production source so Shippers are aware of the expected volumes of raw gas or quantity of residue gas to be allocated to their supply account each gas day

• RPO’s provide a Receipt Point (RP) analysis according to designated frequency

• RPO’s provide the actual volumes of raw gas, residue gas, and hydrocarbon liquids produced from each production source for the previous month based on the floating calendar Measurement and Allocation Deadlines

Page 20: NorthRiver Midstream Inc.€¦ · Processing services in Northeast BC for over 60 years. Our focus on operational excellence, safety of our people, communities, ... on the floating

Daily Estimate Allocations

20

• Raw gas from the gathering system is processed at the plant and the resulting products are allocated back to the production sources using the raw splits provided by the RPO

• Daily allocations are deemed estimates until measurement is finalized. After the flow month is completed, the Receipt Point Operators will provide NorthRiver with the final splits at the receipt points

• Daily estimates are used for: • operational balancing of the pipeline

• Measurement & Allocation Month End Deadlines can be found at: Measurement and Allocation Deadlines

Page 21: NorthRiver Midstream Inc.€¦ · Processing services in Northeast BC for over 60 years. Our focus on operational excellence, safety of our people, communities, ... on the floating

Month End Allocations

21

• The “component recovery efficiency methodology” is used to calculate the amount of liquids in the gas stream

• Plant fuel gas is allocated based on the quality/quantity of:

• acid gas

• raw volume

• propane/butane

• condensate

Page 22: NorthRiver Midstream Inc.€¦ · Processing services in Northeast BC for over 60 years. Our focus on operational excellence, safety of our people, communities, ... on the floating

Invoicing

22

• General service invoice is generated for: • RGT • Treatment • Liquids Recovery, Stab and Frac

• Stab – stabilization • Frac - fractionation

• Transmission • Overproduction charges/credits

• Invoices are published on the web site as per the Measurement and Allocations deadlines posted on the website

• Payment is due on the 25th day of the current month or five business days after receiving the invoice

Page 23: NorthRiver Midstream Inc.€¦ · Processing services in Northeast BC for over 60 years. Our focus on operational excellence, safety of our people, communities, ... on the floating

Invoicing - Taxation

23

Carbon Tax (CBT) • B.C. Government tax applied to all emissions from combustion of fossil fuels in B.C. • Tax rate is derived from the amount of greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) generated

from burning fossil fuels • Applied to both RGT and TREAT service and calculated monthly. It is pro-rated to each

producer based on the total amount of fuel used at the plant and any compression in the gathering system

Motor Fuel Tax (MFT) • B.C. Government tax applied to “marketable gas” • Tax is based on the amount of fuel used to operate compressors and the pipeline. It is

pro-rated based on the total amount of fuel used divided by the amount of gas transported for each shipper for the month

• Applied to transportation services only
