Transferring OBA balances from GMS to LINK

As part of the LINK transition, all OBA cumulative imbalances will be moved to the delivery point in LINK. Preliminary imbalances will be entered and updated into LINK as follows:

• On October 3rd, the GD30 estimated cumulative imbalance will be copied from GMS and displayed in LINK for September 30th gas day -> OBAs can access the GMS Estimate Statement of Deliveries Report to confirm the imbalance that is being brought over. Shippers can see this imbalance in LINK->Flowing Gas->Imbalance->Shipper Imbalance Summary screen in LINK.

• On October 13th (after September month end closed), the previously copied imbalance in LINK for GD30 will be overwritten with the actual SOD GD30 GMS imbalance -> OBAs can access the GMS Actual Statement of Deliveries Report to confirm the imbalance that is being brought over. OBAs can see this imbalance in LINK->Flowing Gas->Imbalance->Shipper Imbalance Summary screen in LINK.

Westcoast strongly recommends that shippers have their OBA accounts cleaned up as much as possible prior to end of day GD30.
