A= Associated Gas Production quantities  
B = 1 - Shrinkage Factor 
C= Own Consumption quantities 
D= Gas quantities delivered under Existing Offtake Commitments  
E= Liquids extracted from Associated Gas (if metered or accounted for)  
F= Flare Gas delivered to Third Party Flare Commercialisation Project  
G= Flare Gas delivered for Producer’s Approved Flare Out Project  
H= Measured or accounted Flare Gas quantities going to the Flare Stack 
In all cases, Unaccounted Flare Gas quantity includes Vented Gas.  For the Flare Payment 
Amount calculation, all negative results from the use of the material balance shall be deemed 
to be “zero”.   
The Unaccounted Flare Gas data shall be corrected to a standard temperature of 60oF and a 
pressure of 14.73 psi. 
4.8 
Producers Compounded Flare Gas Quantity 
The Compounded Flare Gas Quantity is used as the basis for calculating the Flare Payment 
Amount.  During the Transition Period described in Section 4.9 of these Guidelines, the 
Compounded Flare Gas Quantity is equal to the Accounted Flare Gas Quantity defined in 
Section 4.9 (d).  Once the metering equipment has been installed as per these Guidelines, the 
Compounded Flare Gas Quantity is equal to: 
Compounded Flare Gas Quantity = Flare Gas quantity going to the Flare Stack + Unaccounted 
Flare Gas quantities
