Assessable petroleum receipts relating to natural gas

5(4)    
For the purposes of calculating assessable petroleum receipts relating to natural gas under regulation 16 , the upstream stage of an integrated operation is a series of phases ending when all of the following actions have been completed:


(a) the recovery of project natural gas;


(b) any multiple use of units of property that are used in the recovery of project natural gas;


(c) the storage of recovered project natural gas before use in the production of sales gas, if the storage occurs before the sale referred to in paragraph 24(1)(f) of the Act;


(d) any multiple use of the units of property that are used to store recovered project natural gas (including units of property that are used to store recovered project natural gas before use in the production of sales gas, if the storage occurs before the sale referred to in paragraph 24(1)(f) of the Act);


(e) the transportation of project product for the recovery mentioned in paragraph (a);


(f) any multiple use of units of property for transportation referred to in paragraph (e).

5(5)

(a) the storage of recovered project natural gas, if the storage occurs after the sale referred to in paragraph 24(1)(f) of the Act;


(b) any multiple use of the units of property that are used to store recovered project natural gas (including units of property that are used to store recovered project natural gas, if the storage occurs after the sale referred to in paragraph 24(1)(f) of the Act);


(c) the production of project sales gas;


(d) any multiple use of units of property that are used in the production of project sales gas;


(e) the transportation of project product for the production mentioned in paragraph (c);


(f) any multiple use of units of property for transportation mentioned in paragraph (e);


(g) the storage of project sales gas at or adjacent to the place at which it is produced;

Note:

Phases are explained using subregulations 6(1) and (2) .

In general terms, a phase is a part of an operation during which the ratio of project product to total product flowing through the operation remains the same (and is expected to remain the same). The upstream and downstream stages of an integrated operation may include a number of phases, but each stage ends when the actions associated with the last phase have been completed.
