Request / Explanation

Please change the Passport screens to include a Net FDD value.

Before the Flow Day Diversions (FDD) in the Passport system were streamlined, the scheduled quantities throughout El Paso’s system netted out the FDD transactions because the “flow from” transaction had a negative quantity, and the “flow to” transaction had a positive quantity. Now, there is only one positive FDD transaction that is added into the total scheduled quantity being displayed on screens, reports, and other Passport functions.

We Value Your Input

The El Paso Corporation will be implementing a change in the Flow Day Diversion (FDD) Net reporting in Passport 2005 and we would like your input on the implementation that will best meet your needs.

We have come up with 3 options for review, but we also want to consider other options you may suggest.

Pros

Delivery and net totals easily viewed for all locations at one touch of a button

Can include separate HEEN and Flowing Gas delivery location totals for quick reference

Option 2: Net Total on Totals Tab

New Totals Tab

•Filters will determine if something is displayed in Totals area:

•If there is no filter FDD net will be blank

•If anything but delivery or receipt location is selected FDD net will be blank

•If Delivery or receipt locations are selected, then the FDD net will be the Scheduled quantity according to the pair of locations selected minus any FDDs flowing out of the Delivery location, plus any FDDs flowing into the Delivery location.

•Example:

•Del Filter on Loc 1 (Sched = 86769, FDD Net = 73769)

•Del Filter on Loc 2 (Sched = 29177, FDD Net = 29177)

•Rec Filter on Loc 1 (Sched = 13000, FDD Net = 0)

Pros

Net totals displayed on the main Nominations or Confirmations screens

15

Option 2: Net Total on Totals Tab

Net totals are only meaningful at a location level and viewing such totals at a broader or narrower level may cause confusion

May cause system performance issues with Passport which could delay implementation to deal with those issues

Limited export options for the net totals data
