Purpose of Report

Each transporter of natural gas operating within the State of Louisiana shall prepare this report each month. The report shows the acquisitions and dispositions of natural gas including deposits to and withdrawals from underground gas storage facilities. Physical custody is the basis for reporting all movement within the state.

General Instructions

4.An Operator, Company or Plant facility code may be used only once within each group, unless a field code is also used. If multiple transactions occurred with the same operator, company or facility during the month, summarize the transactions by field, and report the volume as one total.

5.Groups with multiple lines should begin with line number 1. Use additional line numbers when two or more items are entered under the same group code. (Ten items in one group would be numbered from 1 to 10.) Enter the group code on the first line and draw a continuation arrow through the group code column of all lines in that group.

6.Use the continuation sheet (Form R-A) when there is not sufficient space on Part 1 for all lines within a group code.

7.Report all natural gas volumes in MCF at 15.025 pounds absolute pressure and at 60 degrees Fahrenheit/15.5 degrees Celsius.

8.Do not delay filing this report if code numbers are not available. These numbers can be obtained by calling the Office of Conservation, Production Audit Section. (See item 12 below.)

9.Remarks should be shown in the specified area only. Use the remarks section to explain irregular entries or

variations due to unusual circumstances. Attach a letter of explanation where space provided is not sufficient.

10.Pages should be numbered sequentially when the report has been completed.

Disposition of the Share-in-Kind portion is shown to the transporter. The transporter reports acquisition from the Share-in-Kind operator or royalty owner on the Form R5T. Only share-in-kind transactions where the party takes physical custody from the operator will be subject to the reporting as described herein. The share-in-kind party taking possession of gas from the field shall report acquisition of the gas on the Form R5D. Disposition of the share-in-kind gas by the operator is shown as a transfer to other operator or a delivery to the transporter, etc.

8.The Shortage and Overage on this report is computed by subtracting the total dispositions from the total acquisitions. The acceptable tolerance on all overage/shortage is 2%.

The instructions for Form R5T, in accordance with LAS 43:XIX.101 thru 145 and 3301 thru 3317 as adopted pursuant to Title 30 f the Louisiana Revised Statutes contemplate accurate measurement of gaseous hydrocarbons at all points of custody transfer as well as imports and exports from the state.

9.Total Acquisitions and Adjustments (Group Code 250) must equal Total Dispositions and Adjustments (Group Code 299).

Making Corrections on Reports - Do not use any type of correction fluid to cover figures to be changed or corrected.

File the corrected report giving the pertinent information with respect to the Transporter or Plant name and code number, report month and enter only the lines that contain corrected data, the Group code and original line number and the description for those items to be corrected. If a line is to be added, enter the line within the proper group code in line number sequence.This line number should be the next number after the last line number entered within that group code on the original report. Lines may be deleted by entering the line as it appeared on the original report with a volume of zero. IMPORTANT: The total acquisition and adjustment volume must agree with the total disposition and adjustment volume on said report. Mark the correction box with an "X" on said report.
