Transactional Tracking - EPSQ in Pools

This project is to address problems which cause pools to be scheduled below EPSQ (Elapsed Pro Rated Scheduled Quantity)

Four development phases

Each phase will be implemented independently

6

EPSQ in Pools - Breakdown by PhasePhase 1 – will prevent poolers from reducing their nomination/confirmation below EPSQ in Cycles 3 and 4 In test for June 2009

Phase 2 – will prevent pools from being scheduled below EPSQ due to CBL (Contract Balancing) or CPR (Confirming Party Reduction – used in pools) reduction reason codes In development for 3Q 2009

Phase 3 – will prevent capacity reductions from taking pool transactions below EPSQ To follow phase 2

Phase 4 – will prevent underconfirmations by operators from reducing pool transactions below EPSQ To follow phase 3

All phases anticipated to be implemented in 20097

WestPipe Connect StatusLaunched Fall 2008 with the goal of completely rewriting Xpress by September 2011Phased approach System framework (in development)

Customer needs and preferences are at the forefront of the new design

Security system (in test) Allocations system – customer access (June/July 2009) Remainder of 2009 focused on necessary internal framework Remaining core systems (2010 and 2011)
