Confirmation Instructions

  1. Hello, and welcome to this brief tutorial on confirmation instructions.
  2. In the following slides, we're going to discuss the active versus passive role of operators, cover the confirmation deadlines,
  3. point out a few specifics related to confirmations in the PNT scheduling model.
  4. Then we are going review the screen and provide an example of how to submit confirmation.
  5. One of the first decisions that operators on Southern Star will need to make is the decision to be either an active point operator or a passive point.
  6. Operator.
  7. Active point operators will submit a separate communication expressly confirming or reducing each nomination transaction for every cycle every day.
  8. Passive point, operators are relieved of their obligation to send a However, passive operators will still have the ability to make reductions for any cycle
  9. on any day.
  10. The point operator election form found under downloads must be completed and sent to Southern Star indicating the point operators choice to be active or passive.
  11. Southern star has five cycles for every gas day, the confirmation deadline for the timely cycle is 430 PM on the day before flow.
  12. For the evening cycle, it's 8.30 p.m.
  13. the day before flow.
  14. The ID1, 2, and 3 cycles occur on the Day of Flow.
  15. And the time for ID 1 is 12. 30 pm, the Time for Id 2 is 5 p m, And The Time For ID 3 is 9.00 30 pm.
  16. There are a few specific points to be made about confirmations.
  17. First, confirmation in the pathed non-threaded scheduling model occur at the shipper level.
  18. Therefore, contract data is not included on the confirmation screen.
  19. So if a specific shipper uses multiple contracts to flow gas on a single location, the operator is only going to see the total at that location not the
  20. contract detail.
  21. Secondly, confirmations can be made past the end date of the nomination.
  22. CSI will default to the current month end-date.
  23. However, operators can shorten this date range.
  24. On this slide, we see the confirmation screen.
  25. At a glance, We see, the search criteria section at the top.
  26. This is where the operator will choose a begin date and cycle.
  27. And the results can be filtered by a specific location or location zone.
  28. To see only unconfirmed nominations, just click the box to show un-confirm only.
  29. The confirmation summary grid is next, and this lists the total quantities by location.
  30. The final grid is the location grid, and it will display nominations by shipper.
  31. It includes the confirmation type, which is active or passive, as we discussed earlier.
  32. And includes a flow direction, the begin date of the nomination.
  33. it also includes then shippor name and quantity as well as other location and cycle specific information.
  34. So to perform a confirmation, the operator will set the search criteria and select retrieve.
  35. In step two, operator reviews all unconfirmed quantities and makes any necessary reductions.
  36. The third step is to set desired end date.
  37. And in step four, to choose the items to confirm, box beside confirm will confirm all line items, or each item can be confirmed individually by checking
  38. the box associated with it.
  39. The final step in the process once all confirmations are done is to hit the submit button and submit the confirmation to Southern Star.
