Transition Period 
For the purpose of the metering application described in Section 4.8, a transition period of 24 
months shall be granted to Producers and Processing Facilities to comply with the provisions 
of these Guidelines. Where, during the Transition Period, meters are not installed or are not 
in compliance with Section 4.6 (b), Producers shall be required to apply the accounting 
methods described below: 
a. 
Accounted Associated Gas Production 
The Associated Gas Production is calculated as follows:  Quantities of Crude Oil and/or 
Condensate produced related to the Flare Site multiplied by the GOR applicable to the Flare 
Site based on the latest well test results.  
b. 
Accounted Own Consumption 
The Own Consumption quantity shall be derived from fuel consumption values provided in 
the data sheets of the original equipment manufacturers and, where applicable, re-injected 
Associated Gas volumes reported by the Producer. The Own Consumption of each equipment 
shall be computed using the following variables as input: 
1. 
Capacity, efficiency (at full load and partial load), derating curve, and any other 
relevant parameter   
2. Time equipment was in active service over the reporting period 
3. Actual operating capacity for the period under consideration 
4. Calculated energy output using applicable data from (1) to (3) above 
5. Gas consumption in Mscf/d as a function of energy output calculated in (4), data 
sheet input identified in (1) from the original equipment manufacturers, and the 
heating value of the gas based on the gas analysis described in Section 4.3 of 
these Guidelines.
