Section 1 – Closing inventories
- Held in lines
Inventories reported must be in pipeline lines only in cubic metres. Do not include volumes held in tanks. 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. - 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. - Shipper
Report here 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. - Carrier
Report here 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 to volumes Shipper plus volumes Carrier. Section A: Total closing inventories must equal to Section 4: Summary of Deliveries, column one, 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.
Section 2 – Cubic metre kilometres
1. Cubic metre kilometres
One cubic metre of product moved one kilometre; metric tonne kilometres are calculated by converting cubic metre kilometres of product to the equivalent weight in metric tonnes. Only trunk line system cubic metre kilometres are included because of the difficulty of collecting reliable and consistent data for gathering systems together with the fact that gathering systems have a very short average commodity mile movement. As a result, their inclusion would add only a very small percentage to the total. The average kilometre per cubic metre is the distance each cubic metre of product travelled. Volumes are reported in thousands of cubic metres.
Therefore you calculate the cubic metre kilometres by multiplying the number of cubic metres of product by the distance travelled.
