Sui Gas Transmission Company Limited was formed in 1954 with the primary responsibility of gas purification at the Sui field in Balochistan and its transmission to the consumption centres at Karachi. Two distribution companies were established in 1955 and were responsible for the distribution of gas to consumers in Karachi and in other towns along the route of the transmission pipeline between Sui and Karachi. In 1985, these two distribution companies were merged to form Southern Gas Company Limited and later, in 1989, Southern Gas Company Limited and Sui Gas Transmission Company Limited were merged to form the Sui Southern Gas Company Limited. Today, half a century of professionalism and progress has made the SSGC one of the largest integrated natural gas transmission and distribution companies in Pakistan, serving the entire Southern region of the country, comprising the provinces of Sindh and Baluchistan.  Core Business The main activity of the company is transmission and distribution of gas in Sindh and Baluchistan

Fixed Asset FIXED ASSETS PROCESS

FUNCTION To maintain and control the fixed asset of the company

Working of Fixed Asset: Budget Proposal The budget section of finance department prepares capital expenditure budgets annually for all the department of SSGCL. Whenever a budget is to be prepared for any department, the budget section notifies the department to prepare list of assets required by them & forward it to the budget section. On receiving the requirements, the budget team examines it & discusses all particulars with the related head of department & staff giving special consideration to the justification of fixed asset requirement & funds available with the company. At this stage, the budget team may reduce the requirements of fixed assets of the department, which may be considered to be necessary as that may be defined to latter period.

The budget [in the form of budget proposal] is now sent to GM & SGM for its approval/changes which may be made by them & finally to the M.D for its approval the case of transmission project which exceeds Rs.100 million approval is then sought from the government by filing PC-1 form & after its approval , same procedure is followed for others. When the budgets for all the departments have been finalized and approved by MD, then agenda is prepared by budget section, which is reviewed by finance committee, the board of directors’ grants approval to the agenda and now the budgets are authorized to be followed. Each department is now intimated through inter departmental note (along with a copy of their budget) that the budget has been approved.

Fixed Asset purchasing process: In order to purchase an asset, fixed asset requisition (FAR) is required to be filed by concerned department, which should be approved by the head of that department. FAR contains details of assets required by the department. The FAR is now forwarded to Procurement department, where Deputy Manager checks whether the FAR falls within the budget. The procurement department invites quotations through tender (if not available in store) and on the basis of commercial and technical evaluation and lowest bidders, a supplier is selected (all such procedures documented in Evaluation Report) and then Purchase order (PO) is prepared and sent to supplier. All assets are received by the KT stores department, where quality inspection is conducted (however not documented) and then a Material Receiving Statement (MRS) is generated and a copy of which is forwarded to the finance department.

Depreciation and Adjustment Process Once an asset has been capitalized, working for its depreciation starts. Full year depreciation is charged for the first year regardless of its purchase data. The company uses the straight line method of depreciating except for meter plant, where reducing balance method is used. Depreciation rates differ for different assets. It even differs for same assets in different cities. In the certain situation we call for making adjustments e.g. transfer of an asset from one unit to another, different between assets in books and its physical existence etc. Retirement of the Asset After the completion of life of asset which is fixed by company we retire it. 1 st the Assets Retirement Requisition (ARA) is prepared by the user department and it is sent to the fixed asset section of finance to retire that asset. The company SSGC’s follows certain policies for the retire of asset e.g. only those asset which have a zero book value can be retired. After checking the book value the inspection team is to be formulated. That inspection team inspects the asset, which is to be retired for verification of the condition of the asset. After inspection the report sent to the fixed asset section along with ARA. It is approved / disapproved on the basis of inspection report by GM, DGM and MD. After approval the asset sent to store at Karachi Terminal (KT) for disposal. In case an employee of the company buys it, it is sold on written down value or at 7.5% of its cost, whichever is higher. And some old assets, which are fully scraped and not present physically, are deleted from the books through approval of the management.

Budget planning begins before the distribution of budget for the new fiscal year. The SSGC provide the authority to every department to make their budget like wise, it means department wise and it is controlled and maintained by the cost and budget section in finance department. The 1st step of budget scheduling is “Proposal”. This section send proposal to every department of company in order to know the requisite budget by the departments. Every department suggest their required budget for the new fiscal year along with the details where they want to spend budget and send the proposal back to cost & budget section. The section checks their budget proposal and compare with previous budget. In case of big difference between the current and previous budget the budget will not approved before the justification of respected department. Then this section brings together these proposals according to organizations wise and sends these proposals to the board for the approval. The board makes necessary changes and approves the compiled budget and report will send to every department. And approved proposals are loaded in ERP system (Oracle Financial). The budget is to be made according to year wise but it is issued quarter wise. After that we are uploading the budget. The process of uploading budget is shown below:

GAS PURCHASE SECTION

Introduction The Sui Southern Gas Company Limited (the “SSGC”) is engaged in the business of gas transmission and distribution in Sindh and Balochistan provinces which are the franchised areas of the company. The core businesses of the company are transmission and distribution of natural gas; and designing implementing gas transmission and distribution projects. The non-core businesses include purification of natural gas; manufacturing and sale of domestic gas sales meters; sales of condensate as by-product; and special projects like construction contracts for laying of pipelines. The company receives gas from different oil and gas fields located in Sindh and Balochistan. The natural gas received from these fields is transmitted to different cities and towns of Sindh and Balochistan and distributed to consumers. The fields are owned by either one or more oil and gas exploration and production companies. Any gas field owned by two or more companies is called a joint venture where one company acts as operator on behalf of other companies. Each company is called joint venture partner having respective share in the joint venture in accordance with the terms of Petroleum Concession Agreement. The present corporate status of the company was emerged as merger of three company’s viz. Karachi Gas, Indus Gas and Sui Gas Transmission Company, of which the oldest company was formed in 1954.

Sales and Purchases

The gas sale and purchase between gas producer and buyer is governed by the terms of Gas Sales Agreement (GSA), which is signed by the joint venture partner(s) as Seller(s) and SSGC as Buyer and the Government of Pakistan (the “GOP”). All the agreements with foreign gas producers have also been signed by the Government of Pakistan (GOP) as guarantor. Besides operations, legal and other commitments, the GSA also provides payment procedures. The operator of the field in accordance with the GSA prepares monthly gas sales invoices and sends the same to SSGC on behalf of all the seller partners. The payment of gas bills and sales tax invoices is made to each seller member in accordance with their shareholding and remittance instructions mentioned on the invoice. However, excise duty on total volume of gas purchased from such field is paid to the field operator, who actually discharges this liability on behalf of the joint venture.

Invoices of Gas Purchases

The invoices of gas purchase mainly include following three elements:

Gas Charges

Gas charge is the wellhead value of gas volumes purchased by the SSGC multiplied by the notified gas price. The gas prices are regulated by the GOP and notified through SRO generally applicable for a period of six months. Therefore gas prices applied in the gas bills should match with the notified gas price as per SRO issued by the Oil & Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA), Government of Pakistan for the respective field.

Excise Duty

Excise duty is charged on the volume of gas produced during the period. The rate of excise duty in accordance with provisions of the Central Excise Act, 1944 is Rs 10% of MMBTU

Excise Duty =

Rs. 10 0f MMBTU

Sales Tax

The GOP brought the gas companies under the sales tax regime w.e.f. 1 st July 2011 through Budget finance bill’. Therefore sales tax is applicable at the rate of 16% on the value of supplies, which includes wellhead value together with all duties, taxes, charges and levies
