Report volumes separately for crude oil, condensate and pentanes plus, propane, butane, other. Inventories should be actual physical volumes in lines at the end of the reporting month. Report, by province or region of origin, both crude oil, condensate and pentanes plus held in lines.
2. Held In Tanks
Inventories reported must be in pipeline tankage only in cubic metres. Do not include pipeline fill. Report volumes separately for crude oil, condensate and pentanes plus, propane, butane, other. Inventories should be actual physical volumes in tanks at the end of the reporting month. Report, by province or region of origin, both crude oil, condensate and pentanes plus held in tanks.
3. Shipper
Report closing inventories owned by the shipper in cubic metres. This includes all inventories in lines and tanks. Report volumes separately for crude oil, condensate and pentanes plus, propane, butane, other.
4. Carrier
Report closing inventories owned by the carrier in cubic metres. This includes all inventories in lines and tanks. Report volumes separately for crude oil, condensate and pentanes plus, propane, butane, other.
Note: Volumes Held in Lines plus Volumes Held in Tanks must equal total of Volumes Shipper plus Volumes Carrier.
Section A: Total Closing Inventories must equal Section C: Summary of Deliveries, page 2, line 6, Closing Inventories.
Revisions to Inventories:
It is noted that the inventory figures are sometimes subject to revision. When such revisions are made, respondents should be guided by the following:
- Minor adjustments of under 200 cubic metres; the opening inventory of the month following the month in error would remain unchanged, with the difference being absorbed in the losses and adjustment item for the current month.
- Major adjustments of over 200 cubic metres; the opening inventory of the month following the month in error should be reported correctly. Revised figures for the previous (incorrectly reported) month should also be provided.
