R5T Form PDF Details

The R5T form, a critical document within the State of Louisiana, performs the essential function of tracking monthly natural gas transportation activities, specifically detailing both acquisitions and dispositions of the resource. Compiled by transporters operating within the state, the R5T form meticulously records natural gas movements, including those to and from underground storage facilities and across state and federal offshore areas, ensuring a comprehensive account of gas flows. This thorough reporting mechanism, governed by the Office of Conservation, not only mandates adherence to a specified reporting format and timeline but also emphasizes accuracy and transparency by requiring verification through certification. Furthermore, accompanying instructions bolster the form's utility by guiding preparers on proper completion techniques, from the systematic arrangement of acquisition and disposition group codes to the reporting of volumetric measurements and the processing of corrections. Completing the R5T entails a meticulous logging of volumes received, transferred, and adjusted within a given month, thereby playing an indispensable role in the state's broader objective of ensuring natural gas resource management aligns with legislative and environmental standards. The form's design, which also includes provisions for outlining underground gas storage activities in Part 2, reinforces Louisiana's commitment to monitoring and regulating natural gas storage and movement, underpinning the state's overarching goals of conservation and responsible resource management.

NOTE: An operator or royalty owner taking Share-in-Kind gas from the field should report acquisition of the pro-rata on the Form R5D. Monthly Gas Disposition Report. 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.

b)Acquisitions from Natural Gas Transporters (Group Code 208)-Report all volumes acquired from other gas transporters. Enter the company's transporter code number, complete company name and total volume received.

c)Acquisitions from Gas Plants (Group Code 212)-Report volumes acquired or reacquired from processing plants. Enter the plant facility code number, plant operator name and plant facility name. Leave the Field Code column blank. NOTE: Transactions involving By-Pass Gas should be reported on the Form R5T as follows:

1)Pipe Line By-Pass-Gas is diverted before entering the plant inlet meter and is not reported on the Form R6. The Form R5T should show acquisition of two separate volumes. The "By-Pass" volume is received directly from the operator in the field. The volume metered at the tailgate of the plant is reported as an acquisition from the plant.

2)Plant By-Pass-Gas is diverted after entering the plant inlet meter and is reported on the Form R6. This gas by-passes only the plant process and is metered at the tailgate of the plant. The R5T report shows acquisition of the entire volume from the plant.
