WEBVTT 00:00:07.030 --> 00:00:08.070 Good morning and thank you 00:00:08.070 --> 00:00:09.490 for attending this webinar. 00:00:09.490 --> 00:00:11.860 You may submit questions throughout the presentation 00:00:11.860 --> 00:00:14.240 by clicking the Q&A button in the center 00:00:14.240 --> 00:00:16.030 of the bottom of your window. 00:00:16.030 --> 00:00:18.450 You will see both the questions and responses 00:00:18.450 --> 00:00:20.020 after they have been answered. 00:00:20.020 --> 00:00:21.870 Some questions may be held for answer 00:00:21.870 --> 00:00:23.980 until the end of the presentation. 00:00:23.980 --> 00:00:27.060 Presentations and webinar recordings are all available 00:00:27.060 --> 00:00:30.890 by navigating to our RRC regulatory webinars from the oil 00:00:30.890 --> 00:00:32.950 and gas workshops and seminars page 00:00:32.950 --> 00:00:35.620 on the Railroad Commission of Texas website. 00:00:35.620 --> 00:00:37.940 Our presenter this morning is Deborah Davis, 00:00:37.940 --> 00:00:39.910 manager of the production audit section, 00:00:39.910 --> 00:00:41.850 and the administrative compliance department 00:00:41.850 --> 00:00:43.660 of the oil and gas division. 00:00:43.660 --> 00:00:45.780 All right, let's go ahead and get started. 00:00:45.780 --> 00:00:47.380 Deborah, whenever you are ready. 00:00:48.830 --> 00:00:50.210 Good morning. 00:00:50.210 --> 00:00:52.200 As Molly just mentioned, my name is Deborah Davis. 00:00:52.200 --> 00:00:55.040 I'm the Production Manager and in today's class, 00:00:55.040 --> 00:01:00.000 we're gonna be going over the Form P-18 and the Form T-1. 00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:02.740 At any time, if you have any questions as Molly mentioned, 00:01:02.740 --> 00:01:04.230 there is the Q&A. 00:01:04.230 --> 00:01:07.650 I do have, responding to the Q&A questions, 00:01:07.650 --> 00:01:10.190 Shantay Washington for the P-18s 00:01:10.190 --> 00:01:11.920 and Connie Liscano for the T-1s 00:01:12.930 --> 00:01:15.080 and we'll go ahead and get started. 00:01:15.080 --> 00:01:18.423 So what is a P-18 report? 00:01:21.950 --> 00:01:25.960 We're gonna also talk about when is the P-18 report due? 00:01:25.960 --> 00:01:28.240 Who needs to file a report? 00:01:28.240 --> 00:01:31.193 And how to properly file the P-18 report? 00:01:32.420 --> 00:01:35.270 So what is the P-18 report? 00:01:35.270 --> 00:01:38.740 The P-18 report is a monthly report that is filed 00:01:38.740 --> 00:01:42.110 to notify the Railroad Commission of the amount of water 00:01:42.110 --> 00:01:44.770 and oil and condensate that was received 00:01:44.770 --> 00:01:47.040 and skimmed for each month. 00:01:47.040 --> 00:01:49.050 As we mentioned, monthly. 00:01:49.050 --> 00:01:51.973 So they are due at the Commission monthly. 00:01:52.930 --> 00:01:54.713 When is the P-18 report due? 00:01:55.690 --> 00:02:00.690 The P-18 report due is, it's due the 15th of each month 00:02:01.350 --> 00:02:02.890 from the previous month. 00:02:02.890 --> 00:02:07.230 So for an example would be your June 2020 00:02:07.230 --> 00:02:09.990 is due by the end of, excuse me, 00:02:09.990 --> 00:02:14.870 is due by July the 15th, 2020 in the Austin office. 00:02:14.870 --> 00:02:18.700 So whatever you pick up the previous month, 00:02:18.700 --> 00:02:20.540 that following month by the 15th, 00:02:20.540 --> 00:02:22.940 you are required to submit that. 00:02:22.940 --> 00:02:27.940 And just keep in mind, if you don't submit it by the 15th, 00:02:28.130 --> 00:02:31.493 you will possibly receive a delinquent notice. 00:02:32.360 --> 00:02:34.400 If you receive a delinquent notice and you know 00:02:34.400 --> 00:02:36.450 that you have submitted it to the Commission, 00:02:36.450 --> 00:02:37.897 go ahead and give us a call. 00:02:37.897 --> 00:02:41.370 And the reason we say that is, sometimes what happens 00:02:41.370 --> 00:02:43.780 is we continue to receive the same reports 00:02:43.780 --> 00:02:47.840 over and over again and there may be an issue going on, 00:02:47.840 --> 00:02:49.880 such as there could be the issue 00:02:49.880 --> 00:02:52.080 that there's something lacking, 00:02:52.080 --> 00:02:53.650 that's something that's not correct 00:02:53.650 --> 00:02:55.890 and we'll talk a little bit more about that 00:02:55.890 --> 00:02:59.220 once we go into the presentation. 00:02:59.220 --> 00:03:01.500 Who needs to file a report? 00:03:01.500 --> 00:03:04.730 The person that's gonna be filing the P-18 is gonna be 00:03:04.730 --> 00:03:06.860 the operator of the facilities 00:03:06.860 --> 00:03:09.340 for which the skim liquid hydrocarbons 00:03:09.340 --> 00:03:13.160 are sold or disposed of by injection 00:03:13.160 --> 00:03:17.060 or other approved method if the facility serves 00:03:17.060 --> 00:03:20.083 more than one lease or gas unit. 00:03:21.060 --> 00:03:26.060 If a facility serves only one oil lease or gas unit, 00:03:26.210 --> 00:03:29.420 any liquid hydrocarbons removed from the facility 00:03:29.420 --> 00:03:32.280 must be recorded on the PR report 00:03:32.280 --> 00:03:34.810 which is the monthly production report 00:03:34.810 --> 00:03:38.290 from that oil lease or the gas unit. 00:03:38.290 --> 00:03:42.680 But remember that the P-18 report must be filed. 00:03:42.680 --> 00:03:46.400 So on Thursday, I'll be giving the presentation 00:03:46.400 --> 00:03:48.360 about the form PR. 00:03:48.360 --> 00:03:50.670 So on the monthly production report, 00:03:50.670 --> 00:03:55.670 which is the PR, the code eight represents the scam. 00:03:55.780 --> 00:03:59.030 So any scam is anything that's recorded off 00:03:59.030 --> 00:04:00.523 of this form of the P-18. 00:04:03.180 --> 00:04:04.300 And now we're gonna talk 00:04:04.300 --> 00:04:06.703 about how to properly file the P-18. 00:04:11.330 --> 00:04:14.600 So, just remember that this is salt water, 00:04:14.600 --> 00:04:18.790 all salt water accepted into the system is to be reported 00:04:18.790 --> 00:04:22.443 on Section II, lines two through five. 00:04:23.850 --> 00:04:25.890 This volume will be broken down 00:04:25.890 --> 00:04:29.180 into the volume of salt water coming in 00:04:29.180 --> 00:04:32.230 from producing properties that is oil, 00:04:32.230 --> 00:04:34.560 oil leases or gas wells. 00:04:34.560 --> 00:04:37.740 So just remember in Section II, line three these properties 00:04:37.740 --> 00:04:41.053 will be individually identified in Section V. 00:04:43.260 --> 00:04:45.640 The volume of salt water coming in 00:04:45.640 --> 00:04:48.680 from non-producing properties, for example, 00:04:48.680 --> 00:04:53.680 like plants, wash pits, reserve pits, et cetera, 00:04:54.210 --> 00:04:57.200 that's gonna be in Section II, line four. 00:04:57.200 --> 00:04:58.780 These non-producing properties 00:04:58.780 --> 00:05:02.542 are not to be individual identified in Section V, 00:05:02.542 --> 00:05:05.083 since they cannot be allocated back. 00:05:06.550 --> 00:05:10.140 Salt water systems are not to accept material 00:05:10.140 --> 00:05:14.010 for backing trucks or other haulers if the material 00:05:14.010 --> 00:05:17.350 was obtained by cleaning storage tank bottoms. 00:05:17.350 --> 00:05:20.050 If such material is removed from the producing properties, 00:05:20.050 --> 00:05:23.440 it must be hauled to an appropriate reclamation plant, 00:05:23.440 --> 00:05:25.403 according to the Commission procedures. 00:05:26.620 --> 00:05:28.950 In addition, just remember that the salt water systems 00:05:28.950 --> 00:05:32.180 are not authorized to haul liquid hydrocarbons 00:05:32.180 --> 00:05:35.840 from producing properties except for the small amount 00:05:35.840 --> 00:05:40.620 which may be entrained in the salt water. 00:05:40.620 --> 00:05:42.570 So we just wanna make sure that you're not using 00:05:42.570 --> 00:05:45.400 the P-18 report for the wrong information. 00:05:45.400 --> 00:05:49.790 And it's for skim liquid but just make sure that you are 00:05:49.790 --> 00:05:52.440 only accounting for the part that you're supposed to. 00:05:58.920 --> 00:06:01.360 So we're gonna go over a couple of the terms 00:06:01.360 --> 00:06:06.360 that are used on the P-18 and these are just the popular 00:06:06.680 --> 00:06:10.330 terms that we at the Commission, we get calls about. 00:06:10.330 --> 00:06:14.210 So we just wanted to break those terms down. 00:06:14.210 --> 00:06:17.412 So skim hydrocarbons, those are the oil and gas 00:06:17.412 --> 00:06:20.810 condensate accumulations that result 00:06:20.810 --> 00:06:24.540 from the saltwater disposal skimming operations. 00:06:24.540 --> 00:06:27.260 So that's what the hydrocarbons are. 00:06:27.260 --> 00:06:30.530 For allocation, that means that you're charging back 00:06:30.530 --> 00:06:33.880 to where those leases were recovered, that amount, 00:06:33.880 --> 00:06:36.640 the charge back of the scrubber oil, 00:06:36.640 --> 00:06:39.460 the skim hydrocarbons recover from the plant 00:06:39.460 --> 00:06:41.920 or the saltwater disposal system. 00:06:41.920 --> 00:06:44.090 So that's when you're allocating back 00:06:44.090 --> 00:06:46.430 what you have collected. 00:06:46.430 --> 00:06:48.870 Tolerance is the amount of scrubber oil 00:06:48.870 --> 00:06:53.320 that may be recovered for the saltwater disposal system 00:06:53.320 --> 00:06:56.800 must be allocated to the producing properties. 00:06:56.800 --> 00:07:01.230 So if you have producing properties, this is the tolerance 00:07:01.230 --> 00:07:05.073 it allows you in order to allocate back. 00:07:06.020 --> 00:07:10.080 Identifiable slugs are the volumes of liquid hydrocarbons 00:07:10.080 --> 00:07:13.500 that is received at the disposal facility where the origin 00:07:13.500 --> 00:07:18.500 of such liquid hydrocarbons can be identified clearly. 00:07:18.940 --> 00:07:22.050 So that means that they have an RRC number 00:07:22.050 --> 00:07:25.853 that's associated, so you're able to identify those slugs. 00:07:27.210 --> 00:07:28.943 For producing properties, 00:07:30.410 --> 00:07:34.930 a producing property is one that has an RRC lease number 00:07:34.930 --> 00:07:39.930 and that's either an oil lease number or a gas ID. 00:07:40.430 --> 00:07:43.310 So just remember all those producing properties, 00:07:43.310 --> 00:07:46.530 those are the ones that's gonna be allocating back 00:07:46.530 --> 00:07:47.860 on the PR report. 00:07:47.860 --> 00:07:50.240 So you're gonna be using either the five-digit 00:07:50.240 --> 00:07:53.960 oil lease number or the gas ID, which is six digits. 00:07:53.960 --> 00:07:56.423 So those are considered producing properties. 00:08:02.630 --> 00:08:03.640 So we're gonna go over 00:08:03.640 --> 00:08:06.600 where can you locate the P-18 report? 00:08:06.600 --> 00:08:09.640 So just keep in mind the P-18 reports, 00:08:09.640 --> 00:08:13.290 they are received to the Commission hard copy 00:08:13.290 --> 00:08:16.130 and that's the only way that those reports 00:08:16.130 --> 00:08:19.290 should be submitted to the Commission but due to the COVID 00:08:19.290 --> 00:08:23.730 right now we are accepting those P-18s by email. 00:08:23.730 --> 00:08:25.940 And the reason we're doing that is because we know a lot 00:08:25.940 --> 00:08:28.660 of people are working from home and so they don't have 00:08:28.660 --> 00:08:32.160 the capability to send those by hard copy. 00:08:32.160 --> 00:08:36.060 But once you return to the office, you are required 00:08:36.060 --> 00:08:39.500 to submit those P-18s the hard copy version 00:08:39.500 --> 00:08:44.500 because we need the hard copy with original signatures 00:08:45.540 --> 00:08:48.440 and also all the attachments that go along with the P-18s. 00:08:49.760 --> 00:08:53.140 We're just doing the temporary accepting those emails 00:08:53.140 --> 00:08:55.680 for the convenience to avoid receiving 00:08:55.680 --> 00:08:58.190 the delinquent notices because we know that you have 00:08:58.190 --> 00:09:00.610 the data but just unable to submit it 00:09:00.610 --> 00:09:02.700 to the Commission at this time. 00:09:02.700 --> 00:09:06.680 So to locate that P-18 report, you're gonna go under 00:09:06.680 --> 00:09:10.600 the Oil and Gas, then you go to the drop down 00:09:10.600 --> 00:09:11.913 and go to Forms. 00:09:13.640 --> 00:09:17.760 Once there, in alphabetical order, 00:09:17.760 --> 00:09:20.463 we're gonna go to the Oil and Gas Forms Library. 00:09:22.810 --> 00:09:25.680 We'll go down to where it says P-18 00:09:25.680 --> 00:09:28.053 and it's the Skim Oil Condensate Report. 00:09:37.780 --> 00:09:40.270 While completing the P-18 report, just remember 00:09:40.270 --> 00:09:42.280 that you must have an active P-5 00:09:42.280 --> 00:09:43.760 with the Railroad Commission. 00:09:43.760 --> 00:09:46.090 You have to have an active P-5 to do any kind of business 00:09:46.090 --> 00:09:48.150 with the Railroad Commission. 00:09:48.150 --> 00:09:51.310 So, also you have to have the saltwater disposal 00:09:51.310 --> 00:09:53.610 P-18 specialty code. 00:09:53.610 --> 00:09:58.200 So sometimes you may hear the abbreviation SWD, 00:09:58.200 --> 00:10:01.100 that stands for the salt water disposal. 00:10:01.100 --> 00:10:06.100 So that is a requirement in order to do the skimming 00:10:06.580 --> 00:10:08.990 and have a skimming facilities you must have 00:10:08.990 --> 00:10:13.150 that specialty code and also again the active P-5. 00:10:13.150 --> 00:10:14.800 When submitting the report, 00:10:14.800 --> 00:10:17.910 also remember to use blue or black ink. 00:10:17.910 --> 00:10:20.340 The reason we request that blue or black ink is because 00:10:20.340 --> 00:10:23.630 when we do the images, when we upload this information 00:10:23.630 --> 00:10:26.430 into the Neubus, if it's lighter colors, 00:10:26.430 --> 00:10:29.900 it won't pick up as far as a clear image 00:10:29.900 --> 00:10:31.720 of the report of the P-18. 00:10:31.720 --> 00:10:34.840 So that's the reason why we are requiring that you use blue 00:10:34.840 --> 00:10:38.380 or black ink and please do not use pencil 00:10:38.380 --> 00:10:40.530 because of course this is a government document. 00:10:40.530 --> 00:10:43.700 At any time, those figures could be erased 00:10:43.700 --> 00:10:47.750 and on the form actually it tells you to use ink. 00:10:47.750 --> 00:10:51.200 So please make sure that you are using blue or black ink. 00:10:51.200 --> 00:10:53.530 As far as the font size, 00:10:53.530 --> 00:10:57.560 we suggest that you use the size 10 to 12 font size 00:10:57.560 --> 00:11:01.563 and that's because it's legible when that image is uploaded. 00:11:02.750 --> 00:11:06.870 Remember to use only whole numbers on the P-18 report. 00:11:06.870 --> 00:11:09.710 So remember, don't use any negatives. 00:11:09.710 --> 00:11:13.510 Don't use any decimals, don't use any fractions, 00:11:13.510 --> 00:11:15.083 only whole numbers. 00:11:16.360 --> 00:11:19.270 Reports should be legible for scanning. 00:11:19.270 --> 00:11:23.890 Again, we use a third party, so the company is Neubus. 00:11:23.890 --> 00:11:26.300 So if it's not legible for scanning, 00:11:26.300 --> 00:11:27.700 that's when we run into the problem 00:11:27.700 --> 00:11:31.610 and we may have to require that additional P-18 00:11:31.610 --> 00:11:34.310 to be submitted to the Commission if it's not legible. 00:11:37.330 --> 00:11:39.160 So what we're gonna do is we're gonna go ahead 00:11:39.160 --> 00:11:42.533 and go over a form P-18. 00:11:46.200 --> 00:11:48.660 So at the top left, 00:11:48.660 --> 00:11:52.680 we require that you put your operator name and the address. 00:11:52.680 --> 00:11:57.010 Now as far as the address, a lot of people have consultants 00:11:57.010 --> 00:11:59.150 or agencies submit for them. 00:11:59.150 --> 00:12:04.150 So whatever address you want your P-18 00:12:04.400 --> 00:12:08.180 as far as the hard copies, if there's a discrepancy, 00:12:08.180 --> 00:12:09.470 whatever address you want, 00:12:09.470 --> 00:12:11.450 that's the address you're gonna wanna put on here. 00:12:11.450 --> 00:12:16.200 Although it says exactly shown on P-5 in parentheses, 00:12:16.200 --> 00:12:19.340 what happens is because there's several agents 00:12:19.340 --> 00:12:22.950 that submit the P-18s and if there's like an error 00:12:22.950 --> 00:12:26.460 that's going on, like a no signature or decimals 00:12:26.460 --> 00:12:29.310 or things like that, if we use the address 00:12:29.310 --> 00:12:33.850 that the P-5 has, a lot of times the agent 00:12:33.850 --> 00:12:36.000 does not receive that P-18. 00:12:36.000 --> 00:12:38.720 So it's up to you, what address you want, 00:12:38.720 --> 00:12:41.810 any kind of discrepancies as far as the hard copy, 00:12:41.810 --> 00:12:43.580 not our letters, just the hard copy 00:12:43.580 --> 00:12:45.430 when you're submitting these reports. 00:12:47.910 --> 00:12:51.160 For the reporting period, that's gonna be the month 00:12:51.160 --> 00:12:53.460 and the year that you're filling out 00:12:53.460 --> 00:12:55.273 the information, the data for. 00:12:56.750 --> 00:12:59.830 For the RRC district, that's gonna be the district 00:12:59.830 --> 00:13:01.883 where the facility is located. 00:13:03.170 --> 00:13:07.120 You'll check correct your report if it's gonna be corrected. 00:13:07.120 --> 00:13:09.870 If it's just the original, just leave that as is, 00:13:09.870 --> 00:13:12.270 no check mark is needed. 00:13:12.270 --> 00:13:16.420 For the operator, that's gonna be your P-5 operator number. 00:13:16.420 --> 00:13:18.663 So that is a six-digit number. 00:13:20.130 --> 00:13:23.500 For the name of the gathering system or facility, 00:13:23.500 --> 00:13:27.400 that's gonna be the name that your company has 00:13:27.400 --> 00:13:29.440 for that facility. 00:13:29.440 --> 00:13:34.130 So as our example, we have Oil in the Water, 00:13:34.130 --> 00:13:36.990 that would be the facility name that we have. 00:13:36.990 --> 00:13:40.600 For the system serial number, the first two digits, 00:13:40.600 --> 00:13:42.470 that's gonna be the district. 00:13:42.470 --> 00:13:45.900 The four digit that's following is going to be the system 00:13:45.900 --> 00:13:49.090 serial number that you're assigned by the Commission. 00:13:49.090 --> 00:13:54.090 If it's your very first one, you will not have a four-digit 00:13:54.720 --> 00:13:57.420 after the district, so you can always represent that 00:13:57.420 --> 00:13:59.560 with putting the word new. 00:13:59.560 --> 00:14:01.620 Once we were receive your first P-18, 00:14:01.620 --> 00:14:04.320 that's when you're assigned that system serial number. 00:14:05.250 --> 00:14:06.780 For the location, 00:14:06.780 --> 00:14:09.330 we want this to be very descriptive as possible. 00:14:09.330 --> 00:14:11.880 If you can give us the section and the block, 00:14:11.880 --> 00:14:13.920 the survey and the county, 00:14:13.920 --> 00:14:17.140 what helps us is if someone had to go to this location, 00:14:17.140 --> 00:14:19.310 the more information is put on here, 00:14:19.310 --> 00:14:22.780 that's what is valuable for the Commission. 00:14:22.780 --> 00:14:27.470 For the lease or the ID number, that's going to be 00:14:27.470 --> 00:14:29.410 the five-digit for the oil lease number 00:14:29.410 --> 00:14:31.540 or the six-digit for the gas. 00:14:31.540 --> 00:14:34.430 If you have not received an RRC lease number 00:14:34.430 --> 00:14:35.770 from the Commission, 00:14:35.770 --> 00:14:39.220 you can provide us with a drilling permit number. 00:14:39.220 --> 00:14:41.990 So you have to have one of the three numbers there. 00:14:41.990 --> 00:14:45.240 You can't leave it blank 'cause we can't process it. 00:14:45.240 --> 00:14:49.240 So if it has an RRC lease number for the five digits, 00:14:49.240 --> 00:14:50.950 make sure you provide that. 00:14:50.950 --> 00:14:53.440 Now as long as there's a drilling permit number, 00:14:53.440 --> 00:14:56.460 we can't continue on until that lease number 00:14:56.460 --> 00:14:58.010 has been assigned but still you need 00:14:58.010 --> 00:14:59.763 to provide that to the Commission. 00:15:01.400 --> 00:15:05.460 In Section I, the important things that we need 00:15:05.460 --> 00:15:08.820 in Section I are number two, 00:15:08.820 --> 00:15:12.460 where it's the injection into the disposal well. 00:15:12.460 --> 00:15:16.260 The name and the well number of the disposal wells, 00:15:16.260 --> 00:15:19.240 and then the authorization for the disposal well, 00:15:19.240 --> 00:15:23.540 if you can provide us with the UIC permit number. 00:15:23.540 --> 00:15:25.310 And this information is very valuable 00:15:25.310 --> 00:15:30.310 because we do verify data with the UIC department. 00:15:30.320 --> 00:15:32.140 So that's the reason for the importance 00:15:32.140 --> 00:15:34.303 of having that information. 00:15:39.210 --> 00:15:42.330 Now, we're gonna go ahead and go into Section II 00:15:43.480 --> 00:15:47.090 of the P-18 and this is gonna take us 00:15:47.090 --> 00:15:49.610 through Section II through Section IV. 00:15:49.610 --> 00:15:52.100 It's all in the same part of the form. 00:15:52.100 --> 00:15:55.890 So for number one, does the system receive sea salt water 00:15:55.890 --> 00:15:58.240 for more than one operator? 00:15:58.240 --> 00:16:01.930 So if you are collecting for more than one operator, 00:16:01.930 --> 00:16:04.920 you're going to check Yes. 00:16:04.920 --> 00:16:09.690 If you are not receiving from any other operators 00:16:09.690 --> 00:16:12.843 and it's just your own, you will check No. 00:16:13.890 --> 00:16:15.850 Number two is important 'cause a lot of times 00:16:15.850 --> 00:16:18.603 we don't receive that information for some reason. 00:16:19.550 --> 00:16:23.170 We're needing to know the number of wells or leases 00:16:23.170 --> 00:16:27.210 that we're receiving salt water from. 00:16:27.210 --> 00:16:29.853 So for example, this one says 54. 00:16:30.950 --> 00:16:35.283 So this number represents the numbers that should be listed 00:16:36.210 --> 00:16:38.583 on the additional page when we go to Section V. 00:16:40.030 --> 00:16:42.100 So number three is gonna be water received 00:16:42.100 --> 00:16:46.070 for producing properties during the reporting period. 00:16:46.070 --> 00:16:48.663 So you'll provide us the amounts. 00:16:49.760 --> 00:16:52.880 Water received from non-producing properties. 00:16:52.880 --> 00:16:56.300 So the difference on your producing, 00:16:56.300 --> 00:16:58.010 that's gonna be your producing 00:16:58.010 --> 00:17:02.723 that has the RRC lease numbers, the non-producing is not. 00:17:03.660 --> 00:17:06.310 So you're gonna put whatever volumes you have 00:17:06.310 --> 00:17:08.780 for your non-producing properties. 00:17:08.780 --> 00:17:12.130 The total barrels of water received during the period. 00:17:12.130 --> 00:17:15.778 As you can see they're in quotations, 00:17:15.778 --> 00:17:17.080 excuse me, the parentheses, 00:17:17.080 --> 00:17:20.300 we have lines three plus line four. 00:17:20.300 --> 00:17:23.700 That's gonna give you your total for line number five. 00:17:23.700 --> 00:17:27.630 So as you see, they have 5,000 plus the 2,000, 00:17:27.630 --> 00:17:31.013 which equals the line five of the 7,000. 00:17:32.740 --> 00:17:36.410 For number six is gonna be the total liquid hydrocarbon skim 00:17:36.410 --> 00:17:38.923 for water received during the reporting period. 00:17:39.760 --> 00:17:41.303 On this one, it has 100. 00:17:42.240 --> 00:17:44.450 The tolerance of the liquid hydrocarbons 00:17:44.450 --> 00:17:47.700 not required to be allocated back to the lease. 00:17:47.700 --> 00:17:52.700 So this is gonna be your line three times the 0.0005 00:17:54.190 --> 00:17:58.410 and that's gonna give you the tolerance, 00:17:58.410 --> 00:18:02.393 which is one of the terms that we talked about previously. 00:18:03.580 --> 00:18:07.300 The excess skim liquid hydrocarbons to be allocated 00:18:07.300 --> 00:18:09.920 or credited back to leases. 00:18:09.920 --> 00:18:12.940 To get that number, it's gonna be line number six 00:18:12.940 --> 00:18:15.710 minus line number seven and that's gonna give you 00:18:15.710 --> 00:18:18.753 the total number that you need to put on line number eight. 00:18:19.960 --> 00:18:24.480 Liquid hydrocarbons received as identifiable slugs credited 00:18:24.480 --> 00:18:29.200 to leases and/or gas wells from which they were processed. 00:18:29.200 --> 00:18:31.000 You'll provide the number there. 00:18:31.000 --> 00:18:33.520 And then for the line number 10, 00:18:33.520 --> 00:18:36.290 we also have the calculation and that's gonna be 00:18:36.290 --> 00:18:39.520 the line eight minus line nine is gonna give us 00:18:40.510 --> 00:18:42.380 the line number 10 number 00:18:42.380 --> 00:18:45.570 and that's gonna be the excess skim liquid hydrocarbons 00:18:45.570 --> 00:18:48.790 not credited on line number nine 00:18:48.790 --> 00:18:51.980 but to be allocated back to the properties. 00:18:51.980 --> 00:18:54.580 So that again is gonna be line number eight 00:18:54.580 --> 00:18:55.933 minus line number nine. 00:18:57.530 --> 00:19:01.440 So section number three, storage and run data. 00:19:01.440 --> 00:19:05.860 So this part right here is usually the part that we get 00:19:05.860 --> 00:19:08.770 a lot of kickback on where you may receive 00:19:08.770 --> 00:19:13.080 the delinquent notices in the discrepancy notices. 00:19:13.080 --> 00:19:15.640 So the delinquent notices that we send out 00:19:15.640 --> 00:19:18.700 are computer-generated, our discrepancy letters, 00:19:18.700 --> 00:19:21.460 the staff actually sends those out manually. 00:19:21.460 --> 00:19:22.830 And so when we run into problems, 00:19:22.830 --> 00:19:27.080 this is where we usually see several of those problems. 00:19:27.080 --> 00:19:28.240 The liquid hydrocarbons 00:19:28.240 --> 00:19:31.180 and storage beginning of reporting period. 00:19:31.180 --> 00:19:34.510 So this number comes from the end of the month 00:19:34.510 --> 00:19:37.470 from your previous filing. 00:19:37.470 --> 00:19:40.220 So we have noticed that this is where we run 00:19:40.220 --> 00:19:42.080 into the problems because we notice that they're not 00:19:42.080 --> 00:19:44.280 picking up the correct number to start with. 00:19:45.751 --> 00:19:48.900 Number two is the liquid hydrocarbons skimmed 00:19:48.900 --> 00:19:53.580 during the reporting period but were not returned to leases. 00:19:53.580 --> 00:19:55.740 The total liquid hydrocarbons sold 00:19:55.740 --> 00:19:57.510 during the reporting period 00:19:57.510 --> 00:19:59.810 and the line number four, to get line number four 00:19:59.810 --> 00:20:04.120 it's gonna be line number one plus line number two, 00:20:04.120 --> 00:20:07.900 minus line number three, will give you line number four. 00:20:07.900 --> 00:20:11.380 So line number four for your next filing month, 00:20:11.380 --> 00:20:13.480 which is showing the 75, 00:20:13.480 --> 00:20:15.990 it's going to be for your next month filing, 00:20:15.990 --> 00:20:19.620 you're gonna start Section III off with that 75. 00:20:19.620 --> 00:20:22.673 Section number four is your gatherer data. 00:20:23.690 --> 00:20:25.200 So on here, you're gonna tell us 00:20:25.200 --> 00:20:27.970 if any liquid hydrocarbons were sold. 00:20:27.970 --> 00:20:30.860 What is the name of the company, the amount 00:20:30.860 --> 00:20:33.680 and the RRC number can be the T-1 number 00:20:33.680 --> 00:20:38.220 or if it was from another P-18 but we need to know the form. 00:20:38.220 --> 00:20:42.300 So that's why on this example, they have T-1 dash 00:20:42.300 --> 00:20:46.110 and then the district and the four digits after. 00:20:46.110 --> 00:20:48.630 So you definitely need to provide us with that 00:20:48.630 --> 00:20:53.313 because we do reference this when we do our spot audits. 00:20:54.170 --> 00:20:56.620 And then of course you need your signature. 00:20:56.620 --> 00:20:59.430 Print your name, make sure your printed name is there 00:20:59.430 --> 00:21:02.190 because sometimes we can't rent those signatures. 00:21:02.190 --> 00:21:04.520 Date, put your title in the telephone number 00:21:04.520 --> 00:21:07.653 of whoever we can contact if we have any issues. 00:21:12.160 --> 00:21:15.300 For Section V, now we have noticed that we're getting 00:21:15.300 --> 00:21:17.310 a lot of kickbacks on those session fives 00:21:17.310 --> 00:21:20.020 because a lot of people what they're doing 00:21:20.020 --> 00:21:22.760 is they're not filling out all the sections 00:21:22.760 --> 00:21:24.180 that are required. 00:21:24.180 --> 00:21:26.150 So in the upper right-hand corner, 00:21:26.150 --> 00:21:27.830 you're gonna put your system serial number, 00:21:27.830 --> 00:21:30.580 which is from the previous page, 00:21:30.580 --> 00:21:32.183 the district in the four digits. 00:21:34.236 --> 00:21:38.370 Separate the districts, make sure you only have district one 00:21:38.370 --> 00:21:42.370 information on this page or the various districts. 00:21:42.370 --> 00:21:45.250 For the field name, use the field name 00:21:45.250 --> 00:21:48.090 that comes off the proration schedule. 00:21:48.090 --> 00:21:52.440 For column number two, that's going to be the lease name 00:21:52.440 --> 00:21:55.630 or the gas well name that you're signed 00:21:55.630 --> 00:21:57.430 with the Railroad Commission, 00:21:57.430 --> 00:21:59.223 that's gonna come off of your P-4. 00:22:00.150 --> 00:22:02.730 The name of the operator of leases, 00:22:02.730 --> 00:22:07.370 whoever you're picking up from, use their whole P-5 name 00:22:08.540 --> 00:22:10.640 and then for the column number four, 00:22:10.640 --> 00:22:13.250 the lease or the RRC ID number, 00:22:13.250 --> 00:22:16.710 that's gonna be the five digit for the oil lease number 00:22:16.710 --> 00:22:20.513 or the six digit for gas or the drilling permit number. 00:22:21.490 --> 00:22:23.970 For column number five, that's gonna be what's allocated 00:22:23.970 --> 00:22:26.220 to the lease or the gas well. 00:22:26.220 --> 00:22:29.720 Column number six, that's the slugs that are credited back 00:22:29.720 --> 00:22:32.380 and you're not gonna always have slugs. 00:22:32.380 --> 00:22:35.330 And column seven, that's gonna be the water received 00:22:35.330 --> 00:22:38.480 from the leases or the gas wells. 00:22:38.480 --> 00:22:41.210 And then at the bottom, as you notice, there's the totals. 00:22:41.210 --> 00:22:44.530 So column five, you're just adding the 94 plus the three, 00:22:44.530 --> 00:22:49.530 that's where the 97 came in, the two and then the 5,000. 00:22:50.550 --> 00:22:51.930 The instructions are located 00:22:51.930 --> 00:22:54.310 in the bottom portion of this report. 00:22:54.310 --> 00:22:56.990 There are some forms that are listed on here 00:22:56.990 --> 00:22:58.310 that are outdated. 00:22:58.310 --> 00:23:02.340 We are in the process of getting the P-18 report updated 00:23:03.200 --> 00:23:05.640 because this is a form that is an old form. 00:23:05.640 --> 00:23:08.513 So we will be getting that information updated. 00:23:10.250 --> 00:23:12.860 So P-18 discrepancies that we do run into. 00:23:12.860 --> 00:23:15.240 As I mentioned before the out of balance. 00:23:15.240 --> 00:23:16.630 That's if you're not starting off 00:23:16.630 --> 00:23:18.583 with the correct amount in Section III. 00:23:20.340 --> 00:23:22.603 If you don't have a reporting period listed. 00:23:23.480 --> 00:23:26.640 No signature on the certification 00:23:26.640 --> 00:23:29.260 or if you're using negative, decimals or fractions, 00:23:29.260 --> 00:23:32.630 those the issues that we're running into with discrepancies. 00:23:32.630 --> 00:23:35.530 So again, if you receive a delinquent notice, 00:23:35.530 --> 00:23:39.370 just call in first, if you feel that you have submitted 00:23:39.370 --> 00:23:43.430 the report to the Commission and there may be this issue 00:23:43.430 --> 00:23:47.410 that you have some kind of discrepancy that's causing us 00:23:47.410 --> 00:23:49.360 where we're not able to process it in. 00:23:49.360 --> 00:23:52.010 So that's why you're receiving the delinquent notice. 00:23:53.200 --> 00:23:56.610 Improper formatting of the pages. 00:23:56.610 --> 00:23:59.290 Make sure that that is on landscape. 00:23:59.290 --> 00:24:01.710 If you're missing information or put unknown 00:24:01.710 --> 00:24:06.170 in that Section V, make sure that you don't list unknown. 00:24:06.170 --> 00:24:07.880 If you're picking up from a facility, 00:24:07.880 --> 00:24:10.560 you should have that RRC information. 00:24:10.560 --> 00:24:13.803 So make sure that you have that listed on that Section V. 00:24:14.780 --> 00:24:16.800 The gatherer data in Section IV. 00:24:16.800 --> 00:24:20.840 That's the information where if you have to put the T-1 00:24:20.840 --> 00:24:23.440 information in those amounts that were picked up 00:24:23.440 --> 00:24:25.560 or other P-18s. 00:24:25.560 --> 00:24:28.960 If the report is too dark, the shaded areas are too light. 00:24:28.960 --> 00:24:31.100 It's not legible for scanning, 00:24:31.100 --> 00:24:33.950 that's another one of our discrepancies that we run into. 00:24:35.320 --> 00:24:37.980 So we're gonna show you where you can locate 00:24:39.020 --> 00:24:41.180 the online research query. 00:24:41.180 --> 00:24:43.690 So if you go to the data online research query 00:24:46.040 --> 00:24:47.480 and then we're gonna go to the Oil 00:24:47.480 --> 00:24:51.543 and Gas Image Records menu, you'll launch the application. 00:24:53.460 --> 00:24:55.270 And then you can go to where it says 00:24:55.270 --> 00:24:58.903 Skim Oil Condensate Form P-18. 00:25:00.520 --> 00:25:01.660 This is our Neubus system. 00:25:01.660 --> 00:25:04.350 This is a third-party company that we use, 00:25:04.350 --> 00:25:07.480 where once you submit your P-18s, we upload those 00:25:07.480 --> 00:25:10.000 and these are where public or anyone else 00:25:10.000 --> 00:25:12.300 that wants to go out and review your P-18s 00:25:12.300 --> 00:25:14.150 that are submitted to the Commission. 00:25:16.230 --> 00:25:19.870 So you can put your system serial number 00:25:19.870 --> 00:25:21.120 or the reporting period 00:25:21.120 --> 00:25:24.740 or even if you just have the operator number, 00:25:24.740 --> 00:25:27.510 sometimes people are looking 00:25:27.510 --> 00:25:29.280 and they may not have your operator name. 00:25:29.280 --> 00:25:31.960 So there's various options that they can look up 00:25:31.960 --> 00:25:35.637 and they can use as far as how to look at those P-18s. 00:25:37.320 --> 00:25:41.830 You'll select Action, View Document 00:25:43.750 --> 00:25:45.250 and then your image will show. 00:25:48.780 --> 00:25:50.900 Just remember, in order to print this, 00:25:50.900 --> 00:25:53.870 you do have to download and it's gonna download 00:25:53.870 --> 00:25:56.680 the whole image and of course on this one it says, 00:25:56.680 --> 00:26:00.550 pages one of two, so you have your cover page 00:26:00.550 --> 00:26:02.323 in the Neubus Section V. 00:26:06.010 --> 00:26:10.360 For Q&As, so allocation of non-producing. 00:26:10.360 --> 00:26:13.390 So the non-producing, just remember that does not go 00:26:13.390 --> 00:26:18.390 on the producing line and you do not put it on Section V. 00:26:20.370 --> 00:26:24.113 They are only included in Section II, line four. 00:26:25.290 --> 00:26:29.220 So, these includes water from properties of out of state. 00:26:29.220 --> 00:26:31.040 So, sometimes you may receive waters 00:26:31.040 --> 00:26:33.740 from Louisiana or other states. 00:26:33.740 --> 00:26:36.850 So, that's considered non-producing properties. 00:26:36.850 --> 00:26:41.380 Delinquent notices are received for a sold well 00:26:41.380 --> 00:26:43.370 if the previous operator didn't submit 00:26:43.370 --> 00:26:47.500 all of their delinquent reports prior to selling. 00:26:47.500 --> 00:26:49.413 But if you received delinquent notices 00:26:49.413 --> 00:26:51.980 and you are the new operator, get in touch with us 00:26:51.980 --> 00:26:55.160 because we'll be able to work with you. 00:26:55.160 --> 00:26:56.680 You're not gonna be required to submit 00:26:56.680 --> 00:27:00.120 for someone else's reports that they haven't submitted. 00:27:00.120 --> 00:27:03.190 Just remember when taking over a saltwater disposal 00:27:03.190 --> 00:27:07.730 from a non-compliant operator, that there are those issues 00:27:07.730 --> 00:27:09.480 if they didn't submit the report, 00:27:09.480 --> 00:27:11.690 so just communicate with us. 00:27:11.690 --> 00:27:14.230 You have our contact information, 00:27:14.230 --> 00:27:18.313 it's gonna be 512-463-6726. 00:27:19.830 --> 00:27:23.076 And just any unusual situation that you have, 00:27:23.076 --> 00:27:25.370 just go ahead and contact us 'cause a lot of times 00:27:25.370 --> 00:27:28.610 it's the back and forth of the reports that we receive. 00:27:28.610 --> 00:27:30.710 And we're not really getting anywhere 00:27:30.710 --> 00:27:34.320 and it's the operators are just sending the same reports. 00:27:34.320 --> 00:27:36.270 So just reach out to us so we can figure out 00:27:36.270 --> 00:27:38.790 what exactly is causing those discrepancies 00:27:38.790 --> 00:27:40.773 or causing those delinquent notices. 00:27:41.810 --> 00:27:46.060 Here are useful links for if you need a copy of the P-18 00:27:46.060 --> 00:27:49.990 or if you need to search the P-18s under the Neubus 00:27:49.990 --> 00:27:52.383 which is the Neubus is what I just went over. 00:27:53.960 --> 00:27:56.360 We also have that data online research query. 00:27:56.360 --> 00:27:59.120 The link to that and then if you don't have 00:27:59.120 --> 00:28:02.750 the T-1 registered number, we have the link for that 00:28:02.750 --> 00:28:04.500 and that again is under our Neubus. 00:28:06.290 --> 00:28:08.520 So the contact information again 00:28:08.520 --> 00:28:10.230 is our production audit department. 00:28:10.230 --> 00:28:14.820 This is our general number, 512-463-6726. 00:28:17.350 --> 00:28:22.350 Our general email is productionreporting-info@rrc.texas.gov.
