2. MEASUREMENT
2.1 Unit of Measurement and Metering Base - The volumetric measurement
base shall be 1 cubic foot of gas at a pressure base of 14.73
pounds per square inch absolute, at a temperature base of 60
degrees Fahrenheit, and without adjustment for water vapor.
The cutoff for closing measurement is five Business Days after the
business Month (NAESB WGQ Standard 2.3.7). Measurement data that
is missing or late at the cutoff is to be estimated. (Estimate
missing or late measurement data and treat actual as prior period
adjustment, with the measuring party to provide the
estimate.)(NAESB WGQ Standard 2.3.13) For treatment of measurement
prior period adjustments, treat the adjustment by taking it back to
the production Month. A meter adjustment becomes a prior period
adjustment after the fifth Business Day following the business
Month (NAESB WGQ Standard 2.3.11). For reporting measurement prior
period adjustments, report it with the restated line item with the
new total quantity for the Day and Month (NAESB WGQ Standard
2.3.12).
2.2 Measurement data corrections should be processed within 6 Months of
the production Month with a 3-Month rebuttal period. This standard
shall not apply in the case of deliberate omission or
misrepresentation or mutual mistake of fact. Parties' other
statutory or contractual rights shall not otherwise be diminished
by this standard (NAESB WGQ Standard 2.3.14). This 3-Month
rebuttal period shall begin with the interested party issuing a
written notification that a measurement dispute exists. These
disputes will apply to measurement errors that involve quantities
that Transporter has direct custody transfer responsibilities over,
as well as volumes measured by other companies that have been
audited by Transporter.
2.3 Measurement data available upstream of aggregated points should be
sent to the allocating party and used to allocate the aggregated
volume back to the upstream points (NAESB WGQ Standard 2.3.8).
2.4 Transporter's measurement information provided via electronic
delivery mechanism (EDM) shall conform to the requirements of the
Data Dictionary standards as set forth in NAESB WGQ Standards 2.4.4
and 2.4.5.
