MichCon Update on Potential Supply Curtailments (posted 09-24-09)
Impact on MichCon Gathering Shippers
September 24, 2009
Dear MichCon Gathering Shippers,
Please read this carefully. As previously communicated, storage positions nationally and on Michigan Consolidated Gas Company (MCGC) are at record levels, and future supply cuts on MCGC may be necessary. Should this occur, MCGC, as the downstream pipeline, will administer the cuts and communicate such changes to MichCon Gathering. Cuts will be based on the type of service and priority each shipper holds on MCGC, not MichCon Gathering. As such, MCGC will determine the MichCon Gathering Producer/Shipper, location (i.e. Kalkaska MCGC or Merit Plant MCGC), and amount of cut required, and communicate this information to the MichCon Gathering Producer/Shipper. The MichCon Gathering shipper will be required to identify and adjust their wellhead nominations, and production must be reduced accordingly.
Activity Summary Screen
Once an Activity Summary Screen has been submitted with a date range, e.g., "BEG DATE: 04/01/2007 DEFAULT END DATE: 04/30/2007," that date range cannot be modified. If you want to change previously submitted nominations for a prospective date:
1. Clear your Activity Summary Screen (ALT/C)
2. Enter the new date range
3. Click on QUERY
All of the nominations which have been submitted for that date range will be on the screen. Enter your nomination changes and re-submit the NEW ACTIVITY.
Sales at Interconnects
Title Transfers cannot be transacted at an Interconnect. If you are bringing gas to MichCon from an Interconnecting Point and selling the gas to a third party on MichCon you do not have to enter a nomination in eNominatorSM. Your trading partner can pick the gas up at the Interconnect Point and reference the Upstream Company (UP NAME) and Contract Number (UP K).
eNominatorSM Frequently Asked Questions
Where can I see the total of my Buys, the parties I purchased gas from, and the location?
Where can I see the total of what I sold, to whom and where I sold it?
There are a couple of ways to get the total of your Buy and/or Sell transactions: 1) to get ALL of the information, run the NN08 "Daily Activity Grouped by Service Requestor." Report NN08 shows submitted nominations grouped by Buys, Paths, and Sells. Buys will be sorted by Alphabetical Up Name, and sells will sorted by Alphabetical Dn Name. 2) From the Activity Summary Screen, click on the location summary tab. To copy the data to Excel, click in the uppermost square of the grid to select the entire grid, then right click and select "copy", then paste into Excel.
How can I get a report into Excel so that I can manipulate the data?
To get a report into an Excel spreadsheet, find "Report Export File Type" in the lower half of the reporting screen and change it to "Excel Data Only." You may then sort and use the data according to your preferences. In the future, all reports will be able to be directly downloaded as an Excel worksheet.
Why doesn't the Total K Rec Qty on the Path Summary add up to the total of my buys?
That total is not the total of your Buys. The Path Summary is a listing of all of your Pathed nominations and therefore will not include any transactions which do not have a Path, e.g., Buys that you did not transport; gas that you "Bought" and then immediately "Sold," otherwise known as Title Transfers.
I need a report like the Nom 48 in ConQuest. What report can I use to get that information?
There are a number of reports in the system to satisfy your request. For instance, the NN08 report. The NN08 report does not include Adjusted volumes. Any adjustments to your submitted nominations are available on the NN20 "Nom Change History" which will be automatically emailed to you any time a change is made by MichCon. Please refer to the online version of our eNominatorSM User Guidebook, Section 2.2 where you will find a list of the most commonly used reports, along with a description of the reports.
My NominatorSM Screen is Too Small. How can I adjust it?
To make your eNominatorSM screen size larger, you need to set the Window Size in the Citrix Interface Settings. To do this, go to the Citrix Application page. The Citrix Application page has the EBB and eNominator-CAW icons on it. On the Application page banner line, you will see four icons, one of which is a "?" question mark. Click on the icon to the left of the "?" icon, which is the "customize user interface settings" icon.
In the "Settings" page, set the Window Size in the Connection Preferences to either "Standard - Full Screen" or select "Percent of screen" and enter a percentage.
Nominating Agency RightsClick "OK" to close the "Settings" window, and then re-open eNominatorSM.
As part of the transition from ConQuest to the new EBB, it will be necessary for DTE to establish nominating agency relationships within the new system. As we previously communicated, only one entity (either the shipper or the shipper's agent) will be permitted to nominate on any given contract. With few exceptions, the shipper generally allows one agent to nominate on all of their contracts. Therefore, as we establish agency rights within the new EBB, we will assume that where a shipper does utilize a nominating agent, that agent will be permitted to nominate on all of the shipper's contracts. If shippers would like to specify agents at the contract level, as opposed to across the board, please contact John Imesch at 313-235-5602. Shippers who are satisfied in having the single agent nominate on all contracts do not need to take any action. Thank you for your assistance.
