Basic Components of the Gas Transmission Scorecard

In the very volatile industry of gas production, there will definitely come the need to use a gas transmission scorecard, especially when it involves the process of benchmarking access systems to gas transmission in a particular area.When it comes to the development of gas markets, it becomes a must to establish gas transmission arrangements. In layman’s terms, this means that both entry and exit zones for gas transmission should be established for the proper development of gas markets. These entry and exit zones, of course, should be fully functional. This should be one of the highlighter aspects that are included on the gas transmission scorecard. What’s to be done here is that the current gas transmission access systems, or the entry and exit zones, are evaluated and placed against a certain group of criteria. This way, you can easily determine just how much of the goal has been achieved as well as the extent of improvement your system needs to take on.To do this, the first thing to do is come up with an entry-exit system and define it. In its most basic form, an entry-exit system actually refers to a particular transportation scheme that can be aptly used in a homogenous zone, with focus on the quality of gas, of course. Within this transportation scheme, trading should be facilitated via a virtual hub. Moreover, both entry and exit capacities should be covered and paid for at just about any point, as long as this point is still within the zone. The entry-exit system should also encourage access to gas; otherwise, the purpose of establishing one would be defeated. Furthermore, access to gas should be established at the most cost-efficient way possible.Aside from this, there are still other areas that the gas transmission scorecard should place focus on. One of these is area. In defining area on the gas transmission scorecard, it is a must to pay attention to the simplicity brought about by both the entry and the exit points. Services, of course, should also be included on the scorecard, particularly on the quality of the services offered by the organization. For instance, it is important to conduct an appraisal on the services that are considered essentials to make the trading system as efficient as possible. As long as it is needed, appraisals should be done on the capacity of entry and exit, tolerance margins, balancing, load factor conversion, flexibility, allocation of resources and more.Another aspect to focus on should be capacity booking. The process of booking and trading entry and exit points is not as easy as it seems. Thus, this process has to be subjected to evaluation and analysis as well. Commodity trading should also be included since this very well pertains to gas exchange management. Transparency is another key component on the gas transmission scorecard. The rates that come with the components of commodity trading should have transparency, and this should be analyzed as well.These are just some of the many aspects that can be included on the gas transmission scorecard. The most important thing to do here is to choose aspects that are relevant to the goals and objectives that you want to achieve. This way, these aspects would be properly aligned on your scorecard, and gas transmission can be evaluated the way it should be.
