Gas Commercialization Mapping (GCM) Service

The Gas Commercialization Mapping (GCM) Service highlights potential areas where gas volumes are available that could lead to further gas commercialization, including a table of licensees to contact and initiate discussions towards contracting flared or vented gas towards a potential project.

The produced map and table includes vented and flared gas volumes within a single geographic area, for a static instance of 12 months within a radius of 5, 10 and 15 km.

The GCM Service may be requested no more than twice a year per geographic area due to the seasonal production nature of the vented and flared gas volumes.

• This service is request based only and not a monthly service
• For all requested reports, there will be a minimum two-month delay in volumetric information to allow for any major amendments to be completed.
• For definitions of activities and product types related to the volumetric information please see Directive PNG032: Volumetric, Valuation, and Infrastructure Reporting in Petrinex and Directive PNG017: Measurement Requirements for Oil and Gas Operations.
• A fee may be charged as per Directive PNG030: Fees for Data and Related Services.
