  3. Background • These changes reflect the second and final phase of the previously announced Alberta Royalty Framework changes for Allowable Costs (the first phase incorporated the AC1 adjustments in early 2009). • The Registry changes for Phase II (AC2-5) went live effective February 4th, 2010. • The Department of Energy implementation is scheduled for the weekend of February 13th, 2010. • Submissions to PRA will be accepted and processed, however will not be ‘confirmed’ until after February 13th.

  4. Allowable Costs 2009 – What’s Changed?

  5. What’s Changed – AC2? For Production Year 2009 and Onward: • AC2 is used to report both capital and operating costs for the year. • All FCC’s are required to report operating costs using the AC2. • Operating & capital costs must be allocated to working interest owners even if the costs are zero for the year. • Capital and operating costs can be allocated to other delivering (ERCB) facilities. • Custom Processing Adjustment Factor (CPAF) can be reported for capital & operating costs.

  6. AC2 2009 screen has two views: Capital Cost & Operating Cost The Capital Cost view is the same as pre 2009 AC2 data with the addition of Allocations to Other Delivery Facilities. These allocations to other delivery facilities are for situations when some of the AC $ are applicable to other ERCB facilities within the same royalty network.

  7. The Operating Cost view contains data previously submitted on the AC4. (AC4 is not valid for 2009 & forward) For 2009 & forward all FCC’s must submit Operating Costs. Allocations to WIO, Other Delivery Facilities & CPAF sections are new to Operating Cost reporting

  8. What’s Changed – AC3? For Production Year 2009 and Onward: • AC3 used to reallocate capital and operating costs to other BAs (royalty clients). • AC3 used to reallocate capital and operating costs to other ERCB facilities. • Custom Processing Volumes cannot be reallocated.

  9. The 2009 AC3 reallocates both the capital & operating $ from the AC2 You can allocate to more facilities or to another BA (WIO) CPAF volumes cannot be reallocated effective 2009.

  10. What’s Changed – AC4? For Production Year 2009 and Onward: • The AC4 is not valid. • All operating costs are reported using the AC2 starting 2009 and forward.

  11. What Has Changed – AC5? For Production Year 2009 and Onward: • AC5 has only one view available called Custom Processing Fees Paid. • AC5 no longer includes Energy Adjusted Gas Equivalent Volume. • AC5 no longer requires the type of custom processing (excess capacity, compressing, gathering, and processing) to be reported. • AC5 no longer requires the exception type.

  12. The 2009 AC5 is simplified from previous years’ submissions. There is only one type of cost allowed: Custom Processing Fees Paid.
