All reports shall be completed in accordance with good gauging practices, having complete BS & W, Density, pressure and temperature data recorded, so that net volumes and/or weights may be calculated. Comparisons of the mass of the Crude Petroleum delivered at the Gorm "E" Platform and Nybro Gas Treatment Plant with mass of Finished Products redelivered from storage tanks at the Terminal shall be made for each Month. Tank volumes used in such comparisons after recalculation to mass shall be determined by gauging the contents of each of the storage tanks at 0.00 hours the first day of each Month, or, if a redelivery is at that time being made out of a tank, by taking the content of that tank just before starting such redelivery. In case of any material discrepancies, prompt action shall be taken to determine their source and customary reconciliation procedures shall be taken with a view to correcting such discrepancies where possible. Reference is also made to Exhibit G, the Allocation Procedure, concerning reconciliation under the Allocation Procedures. Exhibit B - Measurements, Tests and Sampling 14
