once they are aware of off spec gas. . The party responsible for odorisation is to be denoted via a check box for each pipeline. Further details yet to be discussed such as details of liabilities Metering Discussed the details included in the metering clause including: ownership, operation, maintenance, obligations, audit and correction, tolerance thresholds, calibration. Discussed the differences between allocation and metering. Discussed the obligation to provide the metering service should be with the pipeline operator, rather than the primary shipper. Discussed that a secondary shipper should have a right of recourse for inaccurate metering. Commented the baseline for the standard will be referenced to the Measurements Act. Discussed a preliminary approach to this term as: Ownership, operation and maintenance provisions for meters are accounted for in primary contracts and the responsibility for this service will not be required to be transferred in an operational contract to the purchaser of the secondary capacity contract. Audit and correction provisions can be standardised, including: Provision against pipeline operator Thresholds set by lowest common denominator Independent auditor Reasonable request (set by tolerance levels) The person in error pays Applicable period is yet to be determined, this may be included in Billing provisions. There may be technical details that can be further standardised in the secondary contract. Reference to a metering and measurement ‘manual’ of All - Research and understand detailed requirements for the metering and measurement clause to determine what details are required, which details can be standardised, and which need to be pipeline specific. GMRG – add to “parking lot” to revisit at a later stage: There may be an opportunity to improve allocation procedures, particularly where there are separate receipt and delivery meters at interconnection points between pipelines. If a single shipper has both a primary and a secondary operational contract with a pipeline operator, how the interaction between these contracts including aggregation and netting is to be managed.
