OTIS
Parties can obtain online information about their deliveries/withdrawals by using the Online Transmission Information Service (OTIS).
GTS provides real-time (to 5 minutes) non-audited measurement data, allocations and estimates of hourly volumes and the gas composition. A shipper can obtain this information in respect of all points for which he has contracted entry and exit capacity. For end users this relates solely to the measurement data of their ‘own’ measuring point and for suppliers solely to measuring points where they supply gas. The information is only available at measuring points where sufficient data are available in order to be able to make the final allocation for an individual shipper at this point. This is the case for most gas delivery stations connected to an end user.
In addition to this, the total measurement per point to RNB distribution networks is available on a real-time basis to shippers with an LB licence. If a shipper knows his own market share at an RNB point, he can use this to estimate his share of the gas withdrawn. GTS also supplies historical data of volumes and gas qualities at the measuring points for which the party has booked transport capacity. This last-mentioned data ultimately form the ‘fiscal data’, the data which form the basis for the invoice that GTS sends to its shippers.
Although the data provided via OTIS is collected with the greatest possible care, Gas Transport Services cannot accept any liability for possible inaccuracy of the data supplied. In this case, it must be remembered that there is a small chance of incorrectly supplied data due to technical breakdowns.
Additional for connected parties
The basic version of NIMBUS-IM is standard. In this basic version, NIMBUS-IM will provide you with non-accountable, real-time physical metering data as well as with allocated data, an estimate of the hourly volume of gas made available at the relevant measuring point(s) for the current hour and data concerning the gas quality.
For connected parties with specific operational processes, an extended version of NIMBUS-IM is available on request. This extended version not only provides the connected party with the basic data, but also with the other analysis results (up to level C6+) of the gas chromatograph.
Request for OTIS
A party can get access to OTIS by completing the application form and sending it to GTS. An access certificate will then be provided.
