EIA-28 Survey Instructions

I. General Instructions
A. Purpose and Legislative Authority
The legislative authority for the Energy Company
Financial Reporting System (FRS), Form EIA-28, is
provided by Section 205(h) of the Department of
Energy Organization Act of 1977 (Public Law 9591).
The data collected include revenues, profits, funds
flows, and investments in total, as well as by type of
energy (e.g., petroleum: coal, nuclear and nonconventional; downstream natural gas, electric
power; and non-energy) by function (e.g., producing,
refining/marketing, pipelines, and wholesale/retail
operations), and by geographic area. The data are
used to evaluate the competitive environment within
which energy products are supplied and developed
and to analyze the nature of institutional
arrangements as they relate to energy resource
development, supply, and distribution.
The
information is published annually in the report,
entitled Performance Profiles of Major Energy
Producers.

B. Filing Requirements
The FRS schedules are designed to collect
information for reporting periods that coincide with
the fiscal years of individual reporting companies.

Requests For Exception From Reporting
Requirements
Requests for exception from reporting requirements
should be made with the FRS program office at the
address on the following page. Appeals of FRS
program office decisions may be filed with the Office
of Hearings and Appeals, Department of Energy, in
accordance with the provisions of 10 CFR 205 (D).

Filing Due Dates
Reporting companies must file the form for the most
recent fiscal year by May 1st of each year.
Extensions of Time To File:
If the entire FRS form is not expected to be
completed by the due date, requests for a two week
extension will be considered if the Team Leader of
the Financial Reporting System has been notified in
writing at least one month in advance of the due date.
Such notification letter must detail why the due date
cannot be met.

1

C. Other Filing Requirements
Who Must File
The Administrator of the Energy Information Administration
has designated the major energy companies required to report.
Respondents have been notified of their reporting
requirements.

Certification
The FRS Certification Statement, on each of the submitted
copies, must be signed by an officer of the reporting company,
or a designee of an officer of the reporting company.

Where to File
Submit two (2) copies of the completed Form EIA-28,
supporting documentation and exhibits via express mail to the
following address:
U.S. Department of Energy
Financial Reporting System, EI-62
Forrestal Building, Rm 2G-090
1000 Independence Avenue, S.W.
Washington, D.C. 20585
(WARNING: any electronic media will be ruined by security
processing of incoming regular U.S. mail)

D. Confidentiality
Prior to conducting each annual FRS (Form EIA-28) survey,
companies are selected based on criteria established by EIA
that are applied to publicly available information. The
selection criteria can be viewed on the EIA Web site at
http://www.eia.doe.gov/emeu/perfpro/appenda.html#criteria.
The names of the companies selected in this manner are not
confidential and will be publicly released.
The information you provide will be used for statistical
purposes only. In accordance with the Confidential
Information Protection provisions of Title 5, Subtitle A, Public
Law 107-347 and other applicable Federal laws, your
responses will be kept confidential and will not be disclosed in
identifiable form to anyone other than employees or agents
without your consent. By law, every EIA employee as well as
every agent has taken an oath and is subject to a jail term, a
fine, or both if he or she makes public ANY identifiable
information about you.

E. Sanctions
The timely submission of Form EIA-28 by those required to
report is mandatory under Section 13 (b) of the Federal
Energy Administration Act of 1974 (FEAA) (Public Law 93275), as amended. Failure to respond may result in a civil
penalty of not more than $2,750 per day for each violation, or
a fine of not more than $5,000 per day for each willful

EIA-28 Survey Instructions

violation. The government may bring a civil action
to prohibit reporting violations that may result in a
temporary restraining order or a preliminary or
permanent injunction without bond. In such civil
action, the court may also issue mandatory
injunctions commanding any person to comply with
these reporting requirements.

The eliminations columns on the income statements (5110,
5210, 5710 and 5810) must be bracketed.
In the income statements (5110, 5210, 5710 and 5810) items
reported under the caption "other revenue and expense" are
bracketed if they are debits, and un-bracketed if they are
credits. This particular exception is indicated on the face of
the schedule.

Title 18 U.S.C. 1001 makes it a criminal offense for
any person knowingly and willingly to make to any
Agency or Department of the United States any false,
fictitious, or fraudulent statements as to any matter
within its jurisdiction.

Items in the cash flow statement (5131) are bracketed, if they
are decreases in cash flow, and un-bracketed, if they are
increases.

F. Data Entry
Rounding

The investment tax credit and foreign tax credits reported on
5112/02, 14, 27 & 28/A will be bracketed, as well as line 29,
statutory depletion. Effects of the Alternative Minimum Tax
(AMT) on 5112/3, 15, & 30/A will be bracketed if the effect is
a reduction in income tax expense.

All dollar amounts must be rounded to the nearest
million. All physical amounts (including barrels,
cubic feet, tons, acres, pounds, MW, Mwh, etc.) must
be rounded to the nearest thousand and expressed in
thousands of units unless otherwise noted on the
reporting schedule. The specific requirements are
indicated on each schedule.
In rounding, for
example, 2,533,500 tons must be reported as 2,534 M
tons; similarly, 57,498,680,000 cubic feet must be
reported as 57,499 MMCF. Quantities of wells are
not rounded, but are expressed to the nearest tenth of
a well. Miles of transmission and distribution assets
should be rounded to the nearest whole mile.

Estimates
Where the reporting company's records cannot
produce data in the fashion required by FRS, use of
estimates is encouraged if the respondent feels a
meaningful estimate can be made without significant
distortion of results. Where estimates are used,
attach an explanation as part of Exhibit B identifying
where estimates are used and indicating how such
estimates were made. If there is any doubt, contact
the FRS staff.

Sign Conventions (Use of Brackets)
Except for the instances noted below, all amounts
entered should be positive (i.e., not bracketed),
regardless of whether they are revenues, expenses,
assets or liabilities. Brackets should be used to
indicate when an item is the opposite of what is
indicated on the line's title. For example, the line on
the income statements entitled "income tax expense"
would be bracketed only if the tax
were negative (e.g., a credit), such as in the case of a
net operating loss in one of the segments.
The exceptions to this rule are as follows:

2

In the statistical schedules, where movements between
beginning of year and end of year balances are reported, those
items representing reductions in the opening balances should
be bracketed. Examples are sales of minerals in place,
capacity reductions, and downward revisions of previous
estimates.

G. Use of Exhibits
The following information must be attached as exhibits:
Exhibit A.
Background information on the company's
accounting and financial reporting practices should include the
following:
If equity income is recognized in accounts other than line
07.00 of Schedule 5110, see the section of the instructions
entitled "FRS Overview: One-Line Consolidations," and
provide a complete explanation of the amounts and financial
statement accounts involved.
Exhibit B. Supplemental analysis of items appearing in the
financial schedules where required, if there is insufficient
room on the bottom margin of the particular schedule.
Specific information which should be included in Exhibit B is
described throughout the instructions.
Exhibit C. Summaries and explanations of eliminations made
in FRS consolidations, not covered on Schedule 5150 and
5250.
Exhibit D. Explain the nature of amounts included in the
non-traceable columns.
Exhibit E. The reporting company's SEC Form l0-K and two
copies of its audited financial statements are requested.

EIA-28 Survey Instructions

Exhibit F. Any other information or explanations
the reporting company believes are needed to
understand its reported FRS data.
Each exhibit must be clearly labeled to indicate the
specific item of data (schedule, line, and column) for
which a supplementary explanation is provided.
Also, mark an "X" in the "footnote" column on each
schedule to indicate that a supplementary explanation
has been provided for an item of data on that line.

If an amended filing is required, submit only those pages
affected. Identify the change(s) on each page by circling the
changed or new data elements. In addition, the letter
accompanying the amendment should provide the reason(s)
for the change(s).

H. Amendments to FRS Reported Data
Circumstances
An amended FRS report must be filed if: (a) there
has been a determination that information previously
filed is materially inaccurate or misleading (see the
section of the instructions entitled "FRS Overview-Significance Standards"), or (b) financial or statistical
reporting standards are changed, rendering prior
reports non-comparable to current reports.
In the case of changes in statistical reporting
standards imposed by the Federal Government,
amendments must be filed for the year of the change
and one preceding year.

3

Since an FRS filing covers only 1 year, sufficient reports must
be filed to amend all prior years affected. This will be limited
to 5 years, unless unusual circumstances exist. If a significant
burden is foreseen, consultation with the FRS staff is
recommended at the beginning.

When Due
In the case of (a) above, the amendment is due within 90 days
of such determination. In the case of (b) above, the
amendment is due at the time of filing the first report
embodying the new reporting principle(s).
Each exhibit must be clearly labeled to indicate the specific
item of data (schedule, line, and column) for which a supplementary explanation is provided. Also, mark an "X" in the
"footnote" column on each schedule to indicate that a supplementary explanation has been provided for an item of data on
that line.

EIA-28 Survey Instructions

II. FRS Overview
A. Relation to Reporting Company's
Accounting Principles
In completing the FRS schedules, reporting
companies should follow the accounting principles
they currently use to prepare their annual certified
financial statements. However, there are some
exceptions covered in the following sections. (See
especially section N, if you have acquired a company
or if the FRS reporting company has itself been
acquired during the reporting period.)
All of the detailed FRS financial schedules aggregate
up into Schedule 5110. Specifically, Schedules 5110
and 5120 contain a "consolidated" column,
representing the reporting company's certified
consolidated financial statements. However, there
may be some differences between the FRS line items
in this column and the classifications in the reporting
company's published financial statements. Such
differences must be explained and reconciled on a
separate sheet of paper attached as part of Exhibit B.

B. FRS Lines of Business/Segments and
FAS 131
The FRS is designed to present a company's
operations as separate functional “lines of business”
and “segments” within a “line of business (LOB),” as
though each were a separate entity, entering into
transactions with other LOBs, segments and third
parties.
In FRS, the reporting company's
consolidated financial statements are disaggregated to
separate financial statements for each applicable
"functional line of business."
Although similar to FAS 131, the FRS goes beyond
FAS 131 in that the FRS segments are often further
disaggregations of a line of business defined pursuant
to FAS 131. In all other respects, the principles
outlined in FAS 131 should be followed for FRS
purposes.

C. Eliminations at More Than One Level
The reporting company may not have a separate
entity for consolidation purposes corresponding to
each of the FRS LOBs. Therefore, to complete the
FRS schedules, it may be necessary to disaggregate
information from specific operations within the
reporting company's consolidation into the FRS functional lines of business and then perform a new
consolidation based on the FRS LOBs , including

4

appropriate eliminations at each level of sub-consolidation
(schedules 5210, 5710, and 5810) as required. See Schedule
5150 that summarizes the major inter-LOB eliminations.
In preparing FRS eliminations, two factors must be kept in
mind. First, the FRS LOBs are not consolidated all at once.
For example, the three foreign petroleum segments are first
consolidated on Schedule 5210, page 2 of 2 and then these
consolidated foreign petroleum segments are consolidated
with the consolidated domestic petroleum segments on the
same schedule, page 1 of 2. Finally, the consolidated
petroleum LOB is consolidated with the other lines of business
of the reporting company on Schedule 5110.
Therefore, there are three levels of consolidation for petroleum
and other LOB financial statements; eliminations must be
developed separately for each level of consolidation.
In establishing segments and determining appropriate eliminations, the second factor to keep in mind is that certain FRS
rules for defining what business functions are within each of
the defined segments must be observed.
Some examples of where to report eliminations are as follows:
Eliminations reported on Schedule 5110 in column B are only
the eliminations arising from transactions between Petroleum,
Coal, Nuclear and Non-conventional, Downstream Natural
Gas, Electric Power, and Nonenergy (Schedule 5110 columns
D through H, respectively). Eliminations arising from
transactions within these columns must be reported on the
appropriate schedule (i.e., 5210, 5710, 5810).
Within the Petroleum LOB, eliminations arising from
transactions between the Domestic Production Segment
(column E), the Domestic Refining/ Marketing Segment
(column F), and the Domestic Pipeline Segment (column G)
must be reported on Schedule 5210 in column D.
Within the Petroleum LOB, eliminations arising from
transactions between the Foreign Production Segment
(Column J), the Foreign Refining/Marketing segment (column
K) and the International Marine segment (Column L) must be
reported on Schedule 5210 in Column I.
Within the Petroleum LOB, eliminations arising from
transactions between the total Consolidated Domestic
operations (column C) and the total Consolidated Foreign
operations (column H) must be reported on Schedule 5210 in
column B.
Eliminations arising from transactions between the domestic
segments within the Downstream Natural Gas LOB must be
reported on Schedule 5710 in column D, and eliminations
between foreign and domestic are reported in column B.

EIA-28 Survey Instructions

Eliminations arising from transactions between
segments within the Electric Power LOB must be
reported on Schedule 5810, column D for domestic,
and eliminations between foreign and domestic are
reported in column B.

Exhibit A. This description of accounting method(s) must
identify the specific account(s) and amounts in both the
consolidated and segment financial statements that are
reflected by the "one-line" consolidation and the dollar
amounts involved.

Eliminations arising from transactions between the
Downstream Natural Gas LOB and the Electric
Power LOB must be reported on Schedule 5110 in
column B.

F. Income Tax Expense

Eliminations arising from transactions between the
Electric Power LOB (column G) and the Non-energy
LOB (column H) must be reported on Schedule 5110
in column B.
Eliminations arising from transactions between the
Petroleum LOB and the Downstream Natural Gas
LOB must be reported on Schedule 5110 in column
B.

D. FRS LOB/Segment Allocations and
Non-traceable Columns
In disaggregating consolidated financial statements
for FRS, most items of revenue and expense can be
readily assigned to a particular functional line of
business and/or segments. However, there will be
some items (such as general corporate items) that
may be more difficult to assign to a particular
LOB/segment. If, on the basis of operating realities,
these items cannot be assigned, they should be
reported as non-traceable. It is the function of an
item and not its geographic location that determines
how it should be reported (i.e., within an FRS
LOB/segment or as non-traceable). That is, some
expenses occurring at the corporate office location
may in fact be assignable to a particular FRS
LOB/segment and therefore should be assigned
appropriately.

Schedule 5112 – Analysis of Income Taxes
Schedule 5112 includes a complete analysis of income taxes at
the corporate level, not by functional line of business or
segments within an LOB. The amount reported on line 19,
column A (Income Tax Expense) is equal to the amount
reported on schedule 5110, line 16. This income tax expense is
also required for each LOB and each segment within an LOB.
A separate schedule should be completed in order to determine
these amounts.
LOB/Segment Income Tax Expense Assignment
Income tax expense is a very significant item of corporate
expense and is determined to a great degree by the operations
of particular LOB/segment. That is, items such as operating
profits and losses, investment tax credits, and foreign tax
credits can each be identified with individual LOBs/segments.
It is an objective of FRS to show the tax impacts of such items
within each LOB/segment. Each segment reporting an
operating profit or loss must also report an income tax expense
or benefit.
Therefore, the basic principle underlying the determination of
income tax expense for individual FRS LOBs/segments is that
each and every component of consolidated income tax
expense must either be identified with and allocated to a
particular LOB/segment or be classified as non-traceable. The
objective is to achieve an income tax expense for each
individual LOB/segment that reflects the benefits accruing to
the consolidated entity in the LOB/segment where the benefits
are generated.
In general, the following steps will be necessary to determine
income tax expense for each LOB/segment:

E. One-Line Consolidations
In the absence of a specific FRS staff interpretation to
the contrary (companies have been individually
notified
of
these
exceptions),
"one-line"
consolidations of equity in affiliate earnings should
be reflected in FRS submissions in the same way they
are reflected in the reporting company's published
financial statements. For example, if such equity in
earnings is reflected as a reduction in cost of raw
materials acquired, then it should be reflected as such
in the FRS income statements and in any supporting
schedules.
A detailed description of the method(s) of accounting
for such affiliates must be provided as a part of

5

Classify the permanent differences according to the
LOB/segment in which they originate. For tax calculation
purposes, the non-traceable classifications are considered a
unique LOB/segment and should be assigned amounts that
cannot be associated with the operating LOB/segments.
Ascertain taxable income for each LOB/segment.
Allocate a pro-rata portion of consolidated U.S. income tax
expense before credits to each LOB/segment on the basis of
the ratio that a particular LOB/segment's taxable income bears
to the consolidated entity's taxable income.
If a
LOB/segment's taxable income is negative and the
consolidated entity has a positive tax expense, the
LOB/segment must reflect a negative tax expense.

EIA-28 Survey Instructions

conflict as part of Exhibit F and/or contact the FRS staff to
discuss the matter.
Foreign income tax expense will usually be attributable to a
subsidiary that is in a single FRS LOB/segment. If not, an
allocation will have to be made based on the applicable
taxable income of the subsidiary split on a LOB/segment
basis.

Apply the tax credits that are utilized by the
consolidated entity against the tax expense of the
LOB/segments where they are generated. Tax credits
generated that cannot be utilized by the consolidated
entity due to limitations are carried forward. If and
when recognized by the consolidated entity, they
must be reflected as a tax benefit in the LOB/segment
where they were originally generated.

If unusual circumstances occur which would generate
LOB/segment income tax results that are unreasonable,
contact the FRS staff to discuss the matter.

As part of Exhibit B, provide a reconciliation to the
statutory rate for each domestic LOB/segment where
the effective tax rate is more than 5 percentage points
different from the statutory (U.S.) rate.

The Corporate Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) amount
should not be allocated. Net alternative minimum tax (AMT
less the effect of AMT on deferred taxes) normally should be
$0. However, if this computation results in a value other than
$0, this amount should be reported in the nontraceable
ssegment.

Below are listed some additional principles which
apply to the allocation of tax expense to the
LOB/segments:

The following example illustrates
LOB/segment income tax expense.

None of the tax expense allocation principles are
intended to affect consolidated income tax expense.
If, however, there appears to be some conflict caused
by these principles, include a note explaining the

G. Petroleum Line of Business
The Petroleum Line of Business includes the
exploration, development, and production of raw
materials; refining and marketing of raw materials
and refined products, and the transportation of these
products.

Segments
To ensure the collection of comparable data for the
FRS, standardized petroleum segments are
established with rules to govern inter-segment
transactions. This is necessary because of the
diversity in the ways companies organize their raw
material and refined product supply and distribution
functions.

and refining done in their respective domestic and foreign
areas.
Therefore reporting companies having foreign
operations in the foreign sector must report an FRS foreign
refining/marketing segment--but there is an exception.
The exception to this rule occurs when all of the following
three conditions are present:
there are no foreign refining operations;
all foreign purchases of raw materials and refined products are
for domestic import; and
all foreign equity production of the company is for domestic
import.
In such cases a foreign refining/marketing segment need not
be established for FRS. However, Schedule 5245 must be
completed in any case.

The segments established in FRS to reflect petroleum
operations are:

General Rules

Domestic:

The segments within the Petroleum line of business are
separate profit centers and buy and sell products and services
according to FRS definition.

Domestic Production Segment
Domestic Refining/Marketing Segment
Pipelines Segment

Raw materials are classified as crude oil, natural gas liquids,
natural gas, and other petroleum raw materials. See Glossary
for detailed definitions.

Foreign:
Foreign Production Segment
Foreign Refining/Marketing Segment
International Marine Segment
The production segments include exploration,
development, and production operations up to and
including the lease tank but excluding the natural gas
processing plants as these are reported in the
Downstream Natural Gas line of business.
Thereafter, begin the refining/ marketing segments,
in that transportation operations, except pipelines
(interstate and intrastate) and international marine,
are classified by FRS as refining/marketing. Pipelines
include crude oil and refined product pipelines.
Natural gas pipelines and natural gas liquids pipelines
are reported in the downstream natural gas line of
business.
Starting in the 2009 reporting year, nonconventional
oil (oil sands) should be reported in the Production
Segment, consistent with the Securities and Exchange
Commission’s Modernization of Oil and Gas
Reporting; Final Rule of January 14, 2009.
The refining/marketing segments (foreign and
domestic) each contain a supply and distribution
function, and handle all the buying, selling, trading

8

Refined products are classified as motor gasoline, distillate
fuels, and other refined products. See Glossary for detailed
definitions.
Transfers (i.e., sales) of raw materials and refined products
between segments are valued at arms-length market prices or,
if there are no comparable arms-length transactions, at field
posted prices. However, if any third-party sales of particular
raw material streams are made at prices below posted prices,
then the lower prices should be used.
Supply, trading, and transportation (as noted above) operations
are downstream activities, i.e., they are included within the
Domestic Refining/Marketing segment and the Foreign
Refining/Marketing Segment.
Transportation expenses are incurred by the purchasing
segment. For example, the Domestic Refining/Marketing
Segment must value the raw material or refined product it
acquires from the Foreign Refining/Marketing Segment at its
f.o.b. shipping point cost and report this amount as a part of
purchases on Schedule 5212.
An export sale from the U.S. is a sale shipped f.o.b.
destination to a foreign location, i.e., if a sale is made f.o.b.
destination to a domestic location, it is a domestic sale even
though the goods may ultimately be shipped overseas by the
purchaser.

EIA-28 Survey Instructions

A domestic purchase is a purchase made from
domestic sources, even though the purchased goods
may be of foreign origin; the point of purchase and
not the source of production is the determining factor.
Following is a table to use in determining whether a
particular line of business or business segment can
purchase from or sell raw materials or refined
products to another part of the consolidated company
or to a third party:

All natural gas and natural gas liquids production must be sold
to the processing, marketing/trading, or distribution segment
of the Natural gas line of business. Any natural gas or natural
gas liquids which will be used by the company in refining
operations must be sold from the production segment to the
refining/marketing segment of the petroleum line of business.
This is the only time in which the refining/marketing segment
is allowed to purchase natural gas and natural gas liquids from
the production segment.

Production Segment Rules
The production segment includes exploration,
development, and production operations up to and
including the lease tank but excluding the natural gas
processing plants as these are reported in the
Downstream Natural Gas line of business.
The domestic and foreign production segments
produce crude oil, natural gas liquids, natural gas,
and other raw materials. Total production is reported
on Schedule 5246, with crude oil and natural gas
liquid combined on Line 06.00 and natural gas on
Line 17.00.
All domestic crude oil production (except for own
production used for production purposes) must be
sold by the Domestic Production Segment to the
Domestic Refining/Marketing Segment of the
Petroleum Line of Business; the Domestic Production
Segment cannot sell crude oil to third parties.

9

Refining/Marketing Segment Rules
The refining/marketing segments (foreign and domestic) each
contain a supply and distribution function, and handle all the
buying, selling, trading and refining done in their respective
domestic and foreign areas. Therefore reporting companies
having foreign operations in the foreign sector must report an
FRS foreign refining/marketing segment--but there is an
exception.
The exception to this rule occurs when all of the following
three conditions are present:
There are no foreign refining operations;
All foreign purchases of raw materials and refined products
are for domestic import; and
All foreign equity production of the company is for domestic
import.
In such cases a foreign refining/marketing segment need not
be established for FRS. However, Schedule 5245 must be
completed in any case.
The refining/marketing segments, include transportation
operations, except pipelines (interstate and intrastate) and
international marine. Pipelines include crude oil and refined
product pipelines. Natural gas pipelines and natural gas liquids
pipelines are reported in the downstream natural gas line of
business.
All domestic crude oil and refined product purchases from
third parties and unconsolidated affiliates must be made by the
Domestic Refining/Marketing Segment of the Petroleum Line
of Business. The Domestic Refining/Marketing Segment
cannot purchase natural gas or natural gas liquids from third
parties.
With the exception (noted above) of companies: (a) having no
foreign refining, (b) importing all foreign purchases, and (c)
importing domestically all foreign equity production, the
following rules must be observed:
All foreign crude oil production (except for own production
used for production purposes) must be sold by the Foreign

EIA-28 Survey Instructions

Production
Segment
to
the
Foreign
Refining/Marketing Segment of the Petroleum Line
of Business; and the Foreign Production Segment
cannot sell crude oil to third parties.

The other energy line of business includes coal, nuclear, and
other (geothermal, solar, biomass energy conversion, other
energy activities not reported elsewhere).

Coal Operations
All foreign crude oil and refined product purchases
from third parties and unconsolidated affiliates must
be made by the Foreign Refining/Marketing Segment
of the Petroleum Line of Business. The Foreign
Refining/Marketing Segment cannot purchase natural
gas or natural gas liquids from third parties.
All domestic source crude oil and refined products to
be sold abroad must first be reported as a sale from
the Domestic Refining/Marketing Segment to the
Foreign Refining/Marketing Segment, and then as a
sale by the Foreign Refining/Marketing Segment to
the actual foreign purchaser.
All foreign source crude oil and refined products to
be sold in the U.S. must first be reported as a sale
from the Foreign Refining/Marketing Segment to the
Domestic Refining/Marketing Segment, and then as a
sale by the Domestic Refining/Marketing Segment to
the actual domestic purchasers.

Natural Gas and Natural Gas Liquids
Rules

Report consolidating results of domestic and foreign coal
operations as recorded in the company's certified financial
statements. Refer to the Glossary for definition of activities
considered as domestic or foreign.
Some companies have Coal mining operations, whose
principal activity is the production of coal for commercial
sales to unconsolidated affiliates and unaffiliated third parties.
Other companies have Coal mines that are integrated into their
other operations (e.g., electric generation and steel
manufacturing); the coal produced is used principally to
support and fuel these other operations. For FRS, coal
operations are profit centers (one domestic and one foreign)
and must be reported in the coal, nuclear, and nonconventional line of business and on Schedule 5341. "Sales"
of coal to a company's own steel segment, for example, must
be priced at an estimated market price.
Operating Revenues. Report all operating revenues of the
Coal segment on schedule 5110. The amount reported must
not be reported net of items such as royalties, Federal levies
for reclamation and black lung, and severance taxes. Provide
as part of Exhibit F a reconciliation of any differences
between the amount reported here and the amount reported in
the company's certified financial statements.

See Section I, Downstream Natural Gas operations.

Pipeline Segment Rules
FRS establishes a pipeline segment. The pipelines
included in this segment are all crude oil and refined
product pipeline operations (interstate and intrastate),
which are included in the reporting company's
consolidated financial statements. Natural gas and
natural gas liquids pipelines are part of the
downstream natural gas line of business. The
Pipeline segment is a transport service only and never
takes possession of the petroleum product(s).

Equity Affiliate Reporting Requirements
Those companies that publicly disclose Financial
Accounting Standard (FAS) 69 supplementary oil
and gas information for the total of their equity
investments'
upstream
expenditures,
drilling
activities, reserves, and production, are required to
report this information on a subset of Form EIA-28
by the geographical regions of Schedules 5211, 5241,
and 5246. The survey form instructions for the
equity affiliate schedules are the same as contained
herein.

I. Downstream Natural Gas LOB
Operations
Segments
To ensure the collection of comparable data for the
FRS, standardized downstream natural gas segments
are established with rules to govern inter-segment
transactions. The segments established in FRS to
reflect downstream natural gas operations are:
Domestic and Foreign:

12

All foreign natural gas and natural gas liquids production
(except that used for production purposes) must be sold by the
Foreign Production Segment of the Petroleum line of business
to the Consolidated Foreign segment of the Downstream
Natural Gas line of business, unless the natural gas or natural
gas liquids will be used in the foreign refining operations.
Natural gas and natural gas liquids used in foreign refining
operations must be purchased by the Foreign
Refining/Marketing Segment from the Foreign Production
Segment. The Foreign Refining/Marketing Segment cannot
sell natural gas or natural gas liquids and can only purchase
that which is expected to be used in foreign refining
operations. The Foreign Production segment cannot sell
natural gas or natural gas liquids to third parties and
unconsolidated affiliates or purchase natural gas or natural gas
liquids from third parties and unconsolidated affiliates.
Companies with domestic natural gas production that would
otherwise not report in a domestic segment of the Downstream
Natural Gas line of business should report natural gas sales
from Schedule 5212 as a sale to the Domestic
Marketing/Trading segment of the Downstream Natural Gas
line of business.
Companies with foreign natural gas production that would
otherwise not report in a foreign segment of the Downstream
Natural Gas line of business should report natural gas sales
from Schedule 5210 as a sale to the Consolidated Foreign

The Domestic Marketing/Trading segment of the
Downstream Natural Gas line of business includes
the purchase and resale of natural gas, liquefied
natural gas, and natural gas liquids apart from the
Domestic Distribution segment. Trading activity is
reported only in the Domestic Marketing/Trading
segment of the Downstream Natural Gas line of
business. Transactions that are settled other than with
commodity deliveries are to be reported on a net
basis as “Hedging/Derivatives” revenue (Schedule
5710, line 5). Operating revenues for natural gas and
natural gas liquids apply only to transactions with
physical delivery. Foreign purchase and resale of
natural gas, liquefied natural gas, and natural gas
liquids are included in the Consolidated Foreign
segment of the Downstream Natural Gas line of
business. Transactions that are settled other than with

Reporting Guidelines for Natural Gas, Liquefied
Natural Gas and Natural Gas Liquids
The following FRS reporting guidelines have been established
for the downstream natural gas, liquefied natural gas, and
natural gas liquids segment operations:
The Domestic Processing segment can buy natural gas and
natural gas liquids from consolidated affiliates, unconsolidated
affiliates, or third parties. The Domestic Processing segment
can sell natural gas and natural gas liquids directly to
consolidated affiliates, unconsolidated affiliates, or third
parties.
Marketing/Trading operations can buy natural gas, liquefied
natural gas, and natural gas liquids from consolidated
affiliates, unconsolidated affiliates, and third parties. It can sell
natural gas, liquefied natural gas, and natural gas liquids to
consolidated affiliates, unconsolidated affiliates, or third
parties.
The Transmission portion of the Transmission/Distribution
segment never takes ownership of natural gas, liquefied
natural gas, or natural gas liquids products. Transmission is
purely a delivery and storage segment. Transmission can sell
services to consolidated affiliates, to unconsolidated affiliates,
or to third parties.
The Distribution portion of the Transmission/Distribution
segment can buy natural gas, liquefied natural gas, and natural
gas liquids from consolidated affiliates, unconsolidated
affiliates, and third parties for resale and distribution.
Distribution can only sell natural gas, liquefied natural gas,
and natural gas liquids to third parties.

EIA-28 Survey Instructions

natural gas liquids, and other products directly to
consolidated affiliates, unconsolidated affiliates, or
third parties.
All downstream natural gas, liquefied natural gas,
and natural gas liquids operating results are reported
in the 5700 series of schedules.
Transactions with consolidated affiliates should be
reported as intersegment transactions, and
transactions with unconsolidated affiliates should be
reported as third party transactions.

J. Electric Power LOB Operations
Segments
To ensure the collection of comparable data for the
FRS, standardized electric power segments are
established with rules to govern inter-segment
transactions. The segments established in FRS to
reflect electric power operations are:
Domestic and Foreign:
Generation Segment
Marketing/Trading Segment
Transmission/Distribution Segment

Note that on Schedules 5810 through 5812, foreign
operations are reported on a consolidated basis in the
Consolidated Foreign segment.

Marketing/Trading Segment
The Domestic Marketing/Trading segment of the Electric
Power line of business includes the purchase and resale of
electricity apart from the Domestic Distribution segment.
Trading activity is reported only in the Domestic
Marketing/Trading segment of the Electric Power line of
business. Transactions that are settled other than with
electricity deliveries are to be reported on a net basis as
“Hedging/Derivatives” revenue (Schedule 5810, line 4).
Operating revenues for electricity apply only to transactions
with physical delivery. Foreign purchase and resale of
electricity are included in the Consolidated Foreign segment
of the Electric Power line of business. Foreign transactions
that are settled other than with commodity deliveries are to be
reported on a net basis as “Hedging/Derivatives” revenue
(Schedule 5810, line 4). Foreign operating revenues for
electricity apply only to transactions with physical delivery.

Transmission/Distribution Segment
The Domestic Transmission segment of the Electric Power
line of business includes electricity transmission operations.
The Domestic Transmission segment cannot buy and sell
electricity. In Schedules 5810 through 5812, foreign
transmission operations are included in the Consolidated
Foreign segment of the Electric Power line of business.
The Domestic Distribution segment of the Electric Power line
of business includes the purchase, resale and delivery of
electricity. Unbundled local electricity delivery services are
included in this segment. In Schedules 5810 through 5812,
foreign electricity distribution operations are included in the
Consolidated Foreign segment of the Electric Power line of
business.

Generation Segment
The Generation segment of the Electric Power line of
business includes electricity generation operations in
which rates are regulated by a utility commission
through rulemaking and adjudication, and electricity
generation operations for which sale prices are
market based. All foreign generation is considered to
be non-regulated for FRS reporting purposes. In
Schedules 5810 through 5812, foreign electricity
generation operations are included in the
Consolidated Foreign segment of the Electric Power
line of business.
Electricity generation and cogeneration facilities that
primarily provide electricity to the company’s other
businesses (e.g., oil and natural gas production,
petroleum refining, chemical manufacturing) rather
than for sale to third parties, do not need to be
reported in the Electric Power line of business.

Reporting Guidelines for Electric Power
The following FRS reporting conventions have been
established for the Electric Power segments:
The Generation segment can purchase fuel from consolidated
affiliates, unconsolidated affiliates, or third parties. The
Generation segment cannot purchase electric power for resale.
The non-regulated part of the Domestic Generation segment
can sell electricity (at market prices) to consolidated affiliates,
unconsolidated affiliates, or third parties. The regulated part of
the Domestic Generation segment can sell electricity (at
regulated prices) to consolidated affiliates, unconsolidated
affiliates, or third parties. Electricity provided by regulated
Generation to its integrated Distribution segment customers
should be reported as an intersegment sale using a regulated
price. All foreign generation is considered to be non-regulated
for FRS reporting purposes.
The Marketing/Trading segment can buy electricity from nonregulated Generation affiliates, from regulated Generation
affiliates, from unconsolidated affiliates, or from third parties.

14

EIA-28 Survey Instructions

It can sell electricity to consolidated affiliates,
unconsolidated affiliates, or third parties.
The
Transmission
portion
of
the
Transmission/Distribution segment never takes
possession of the Electric Power product.
Transmission provides purely a delivery service.
Transmission can sell services to consolidated
affiliates, to unconsolidated affiliates, or to third
parties.
The
Distribution
portion
of
the
Transmission/Distribution
segment
can
buy
electricity
from
consolidated
affiliates,
unconsolidated affiliates, and third parties for resale
and distribution. Distribution can sell distribution
services to consolidated affiliates, unconsolidated
affiliates, or third parties.
All electric power-operating results are reported in
the 5800 series of schedules.
Transactions with consolidated affiliates should be
reported as intersegment transactions, and
transactions with unconsolidated affiliates should be
reported as third party transactions.

K. Non-energy Operations
Report Income Statement information on the
company's operations in the following industries:
Non-energy
Industries
(including
chemical,
petrochemical, and all industries other than
petroleum; coal, nuclear and non-conventional;
downstream natural gas; and electric power.). This
segment also includes products that are manufactured
to be used in the Energy business, such as Windmills,
Solar Panels, etc.
Refer to the Glossary for definitions of specific
terms.

Foreign: Canada, Europe, Former Soviet Union (FSU),
Africa, Middle East, Other Eastern Hemisphere (Asian land
mass and other), and Other Western Hemisphere.
Refer to the Glossary for specific definitions of these
geographic areas.

M. Significance Standards (Materiality)
Significance standards must be established with the ultimate
use of the data in mind, but since it is not possible to describe
in advance all the possible uses of each FRS data item or all
the possible combinations in which they might be used with
other data, only general guidelines can be given.
A definition of "material" is contained in Rule 1-02 of Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation S-X (and in Rule
405 under the Securities Act and Rule 12b-2 under the
Exchange Act). However, this definition is based on a
"prudent man" principle, which is of limited practical help in
deciding many questions of materiality for FRS purposes.
A 5-percent significance standard is established for FRS
reporting. This standard should be used to test the materiality
of any item within its immediate category. The test should be
made on both a vertical
(line) and horizontal (row) basis.
For example, Schedule 5211 requires separate disclosure of
depreciation in support equipment and facilities. Some
companies may not now have such a category stated
separately. In accordance with FRS significance standards,
such depreciation need not be stated separately if less than a 5percent overstatement or understatement would be caused in
the depreciation accounts where this amount would normally
be reported.
The 5-percent threshold may seem to be excessively rigid in
some cases. In such a case, please consult the FRS staff
informally by phone.

N. Operating Statistics and Financial Data
L. Allocating Amounts to Geographic
Areas
Within the LOB categories of Petroleum, Other
Energy; Downstream Natural Gas, Electric Power,
and Non-energy, the FRS requires a breakdown of
certain information between domestic and foreign.
Domestic and foreign data (e.g., expenditures and
asset holdings) are sometimes further broken down
geographically:
Domestic: onshore and offshore for Petroleum, power
grid region for Electric Power (East, West and
ERCOT)

15

Operating statistics will be used in conjunction with financial
data to compare, among other things, effort with results. For
this reason:
Unless otherwise stated, only operating statistics from
consolidated operations must be reported on Schedules 5241
through 5246, 5341, 5741, and 5841 so that the statistical data
parallel the financial data. Selected operating data for
unconsolidated affiliates are reported on designated lines in
these schedules. Operating statistics for discontinued
operations should be included on these schedules.

EIA-28 Survey Instructions

O. Corporate Acquisitions and
Dispositions
Where the reporting company buys or sells:
In the context of FRS, generally accepted accounting
principles used to account for corporate acquisitions
and dispositions do not always yield the desired
result. If during the year the reporting company has
had major transactions, involving exchanges of
common shares, please consult the FRS staff before
preparing the Form EIA-28.
Where the reporting company is the acquired
company:
FRS companies were selected for reporting to the
EIA on the basis of the interests in domestic energy
reserves and production held by all members of a
consolidated group.
The highest level of the
domestic based consolidated group is the company
named to file the Form EIA-28.
Therefore, should a controlling interest (50 percent or
more) of an FRS reporting company be acquired by
another U.S. based enterprise and consolidated in that
enterprise's
financial
statements,
the
acquiring enterprise will then be named as an FRS
reporting company.
In preparing the Form EIA-28 in the year of
acquisition, it will actually appear as though the
acquiring company (the new FRS reporter) acquired
the old FRS reporter parent. This is necessary to
show the process of integration (merger) of the two
enterprises, one of which is an FRS reporter in prior
years.
We suggest an FRS staff consultation in such a case.

P. Discontinued Operations
Schedules 5110, 5210, 5710, and 5810 include a line
to report the net after-tax results of discontinued
operations. If all the conditions below are met, the
net results of discontinued can be reported on the
discontinued operations line of the income
statements, and no other financial or operating data
pertaining to those operations should be reported on
other schedules. If any of the conditions are not met,
then all financial and operating data from the
discontinued operations should be reported on
relevant schedules as if the operations were
continuing.
The proved reserves of the discontinued operations
(as reported on Schedule 5246) must be less than 10

16

percent of the total end-of-period reserves for the current
reporting period (including the discontinued operations) in
each of the FRS regions in which the reserves are located
(U.S. Onshore, U.S. Offshore, Canada, Europe, Former Soviet
Union, Africa, Middle East, Other Eastern Hemisphere, and
Other Western Hemisphere.
Refining capacity of the discontinued operations (as reported
on Schedule 5242) must be less than 10 percent of the total
refining capacity at the end of the current reporting period
(including the discontinued operations) in each of the FRS
regions in which the capacity is located (Domestic and
Foreign).
For other lines of busines, the revenue from the discontinued
operations must be less than 10 percent of the total revenue for
the current reporting period (including the discontinued
operations) for that line of business in each of the FRS regions
in which the revenue is generated (Domestic and Foreign).
If the certified financial statement presents the results of
discontinued operations on a pre-tax basis, then the amounts
reported in the financial statement for gain (loss) on disposals,
pre-tax income, and income tax expense (including the
amounts reported in Schedule 5112, Analysis of Income
Taxes) may need to be adjusted for FRS reporting purposes.
Any reconciliation between the amounts reported for FRS and
the amounts reported in the certified financial statement
should be presented in Exhibit B.

Q. Transactions In-Kind
When payment for goods or services is received in-kind, that
payment is reported as two transactions and valued at the
arms-length market price of the payment. First, the payment is
included in the appropriate revenue for the goods or services.
For example, if the Domestic Processing segment of the
Downstream Natural Gas line of business of the reporting
company receives natural gas as a payment in-kind for
processing natural gas that it does not own, the arms-length
market price of the service is included as revenue in
5710/06/E. Second, the arms-length market price of the
payment and the physical quantity of the payment are reported
as a purchase on the appropriate schedules. For example, if the
Domestic Processing segment of the Downstream Natural Gas
line of business receives natural gas as a payment in-kind for
processing services, in addition to the revenue reported on
Schedule 5710/06/E, the arms-length market price of that
payment is reported as natural gas purchased in 5711/01/A and
5710/09/E, and the arms-length market price and the physical
quantity of that payment is reported as Third-party purchases
on Schedule 5712/03/A&B.
When payment for goods or services is paid in-kind, that
payment is also reported as two transactions and valued at the
arms-length market price of the payment. First, the payment is
included in the appropriate cost for the goods or services. For

EIA-28 Survey Instructions

example, if the Domestic Refining/Marketing
segment of the Petroleum line of business provides
petroleum products as a payment in-kind for refining
services, the arms-length market price of the service
is included as an expense in 5211/11/B and
5210/07/F. Second, the arms-length market price of
the payment and the physical quantity of the payment
are reported as a sale. In the example of providing
petroleum products as payment in-kind, the armslength market price and physical quantity of the
petroleum products are reported as sales on Schedule
5212/05-08/C&D, and the market price included in
petroleum product sales on 5210/02/F.

R. Reporting Requirements for Energy
Trading Contracts
As specified in the instructions for schedules 5210,
5212, 5710, 5712, 5810, and 5812:
Revenues and costs are to be reported gross from raw
materials and refined products sales and purchases
related to trading activities in which transactions are
physically settled; that is, ownership of the
commodity is taken.
Gains or losses from transactions that are financially
settled or otherwise not physically settled, should be
reported on a net basis on line 5.
Hedging activities related to production of natural gas
should be reported in the production segment of the
petroleum line of business rather than in the
downstream natural gas line of business.
Reporting of the physically settled trading gains and
losses net in accordance with FASB EITF Issue no.
02-3 will result in reclassifications being necessary
between net amounts reported on the respondent
companies’ audited statements of income and the
gross amounts reported on Schedule 5110 of the EIA28 survey.
Therefore, an elimination should be reported on
Schedule 5110 and on Schedule 5150 to eliminate the
gross revenue and expense amounts related to the
trading activities and to report the net gains and
losses (as reported in the audited financial
statements) as a part of operating revenues on column
A of Schedule 5110. The elimination should be
reported as Petroleum segment sales to
the
nontraceable segment (5150/01/C).
In addition, it may be necessary as part of the
Schedule 5110 reconciliation in Exhibit B to show a

17

reclassification of the net trading gains or losses if they are not
reported as operating revenues on the respondent’s audited
income statement.

statements. For each domestic segment reporting
pre-tax income on Schedules 5110, 5210, 5710 and
5810, Line 15.00, corresponding income tax expense
should be reported on Line 16.00. The current year
deferred tax provision reported on Line 18.00 should
agree with the deferred tax amount reported on
Schedule 5131 Line 05.00. Schedule 5110, 5210,
5710 and 5810, Line19.00 corresponds to Schedule

U.S. Tax Enter the portion of foreign source income
not subject to U.S. Federal income tax. Foreign
source income is earned by both U.S. corporations
(those incorporated in the U.S.) and by foreign
corporations (those incorporated in a foreign
country). The earnings of the latter are not subject to

Income subject to U.S. tax may also be subject to foreign tax
(see line 21.00 above). In computing the amount of U.S.
Federal tax due, the taxpayer elected to classify the foreign
taxes either as a deduction or a credit. Therefore, the amount
reported on this line is the elected deduction taken.

Reporting Company
Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows
Schedule 5131
General
Report consolidated statement of cash flows (line
01.00 through 27.00) for the reporting company.
Amounts must agree with certified financial
statement reporting, except for reclassifications
needed to complete the required line items. Itemize
these reclassifications on a separate sheet of paper
attached as part of Exhibit B. For example, cash
flows from operations in FRS entails adding dry hole
expense back to net income, which may be at
variance with a reporting company's public reporting
practice. In such a case a reconciling item will be
necessary in comparing the FRS to the published
financial statement in Exhibit B.

22

Note that certain line items are cross referenced to Schedules
5110, 5112, and 5120 and that additions to PP&E on
Schedules 5120 and 5131 exclude exploratory dry hole
expense (for "successful efforts" companies).
Schedule 5131 has been designed to conform generally to
Financial Accounting Standard (FAS) 95 utilizing the indirect
method to report cash flows from operations. However,
Schedule 5131 differs from FAS 95 in reporting mergers and
acquisitions. Also described below is the reporting of dry hole
expense.
Line 10.00-Other Cash Items, Net
Report all other cash items recognized during this period for
certified financial statement reporting purposes and not
reflected elsewhere on this schedule. If the amount on this
line exceeds 5 percent of the amount on line 11.00, provide a
detailed breakdown of line 10.00. The unexplained amount
should be less than 5 percent of line 11.00. Include the
detailed breakdown as part of Exhibit B.
Line 12.00-Additions to PP&E Due to Mergers and
Acquisitions
Addition to PP&E due to mergers and
acquisitions should be reported as a negative amount.
Additions to PP&E as a result of a contribution of PP&E by a
parent or other affiliate should be reported as an addition due
to mergers and acquisitions with an offsetting amount reported
as other investing activities on Line 17.00. The effect on
PP&E as a result of the contribution of PP&E by a parent or
other affiliate should be disclosed and allocated to the various
segments on Schedule 5120.
Line 17.00-Other Investment Activities, Net
Report the cash effect of all other investment activities
recognized during the period for certified financial statement
reporting purposes and not reflected elsewhere on this
schedule. If the amount on this line exceeds 5 percent of the
amount on line 18.00, provide a detailed breakdown of line
17.00. The unexplained amount should be less than 5 percent
of line 18.00. Include the detailed breakdown as part of
Exhibit B.
Line 22.00-Purchase of Treasury Stock
Report gross treasury stock purchased. Do not net against any
issuances of treasury stock.
Line 24.00-Other Financing Activities, Including Net
Change in Short-Term Debt
Report the cash effect of all other financing activities
recognized during the period for certified financial statement
reporting purposes and not reflected elsewhere on this
schedule. If the amount on this line exceeds 5 percent of the
amount on line 25.00, provide a detailed breakdown of line
24.00. The unexplained amount should be less than 5 percent

EIA-28 Survey Instructions

of line 25.00. Include the detailed breakdown as part
of Exhibit B.

Mergers and Acquisitions
Within the framework of FAS 95, only the cash
effects of an acquisition on cash flows from investing
activities need to be recognized. However, statistical
considerations and the mandated objectives of the
FRS require that all components of an acquisition be
included in Schedule 5131. Consequently, the
additions to property, plant, and equipment
(consistent with Schedule 5120 of Form EIA-28),
incurrence of debt and/or assumption of debt,
working capital affects, equity security issues, and
any other effects associated with an acquisition or
merger should be included on the appropriate lines of
Schedule 5131. The inclusion of these data should
not affect the net change in cash and cash equivalents
reported on line 27.00 which should be equal to the
value of this item reported in the certified financial
statement.
In order to accurately report the effect of mergers and
acquisitions on investment patterns, the allocation of
the amount reported on line 12.00 of Schedule 5131
(Cash Flows from Investing Activities: Due to
Mergers and Acquisitions) to the LOBs of Schedule
5120, column D, should be disclosed in Exhibit B.

Dry Hole Expense
For "successful efforts" companies, the expense of
exploratory dry holes (worldwide) completed in the
reporting year, consistent with drilling and equipping
expenditures reported in Schedule 5211, should be
reported on line 04.00 of Schedule 5131. The
difference between dry hole expense recognized in
the certified financial statement and the amount
reported on line 04.00 should be included in the
amount reported on line 09.00. The amount reported
for dry hole expense should be less than the amount
reported as exploration expenditures on Schedule
5211, Line 26.00.

Reserve Swaps
Reserve swaps with a value in excess of $50 million
should be reported as a disposal on Line 28.00 and as
an acquisition on Line 29.00. The details of the
reserve swap must be included in Exhibit B.
Memo-Line 28.00
Report on this line the amount of funds (cash or
other) generated from the disposal of properties or
subsidiaries in transactions/valued in excess of $50
million. Disposals of properties or subsidiaries
reported on Line 28 should represent single

23

transactions valued in excess of $50 million. Collective groups
of transactions which in total exceed $50 million should not be
included on Line 28. These transactions should be valued at
the amount of cash or other consideration generated from the
disposal not at the effect on book value of disposals.
For each disposal transaction in excess of $50 million, the
following items must be disclosed in Exhibit B:
Name of the entity sold.
Date of the transaction.
Value of the transaction (cash and other consideration
received).
The effect of the transaction on the book value of the disposals
reported in column F of Schedule 5120.
Memo-Line 29.00
Report on this line the amount of funds (cash and other)
utilized in purchases of existing assets (e.g., plant and
equipment, proved reserves) in transactions valued in excess
of $50 million. Acquisitions of existing assets, such as plant
and equipment and proved reserves, reported on Line 29
should represent single purchases valued in excess of $50
million only. Collective groups of transactions which in total
exceed $50 million should not be included on Line 29. These
transactions should be valued at the amount of cash and other
consideration paid rather than at the effect on PP&E and/or
investments and advances.
For each acquisition transaction in excess of $50 million, the
following items must be disclosed in Exhibit B:
Name of asset acquired.
Date of transaction.
Value of the transaction (cash and other consideration paid).
The effect of the transaction on PP&E and/or investment and
advances by the segments of Schedule 5120.
Note for Lines 28.00 and 29.00:
For the purposes of Exhibit B, value of transaction includes
cash received or utilized as well as other consideration, such
as debt assumed by purchaser or equity securities transferred
by seller. Transactions in which cash received or utilized is
less than $50 million should be reported in Exhibit B if the
value of the transaction, cash and other consideration, is in
excess of $50 million.
Following is an example to use to assist in how to report
transactions in lines 28 and 29:
Example
Reporting Company A acquires all of the
outstanding common stock (2 million shares) of Acquired
Company B, a wholly owned subsidiary of Reporting
Company C, in a purchase transaction dated September 30,
2006. In consideration for the common stock received
Company A pays $30 million in cash, issues 1 million shares
of common stock with a fair market value of $25 per share and
assumes debt of Reporting Company C of $10 million.

Eliminations in Consolidation
Schedule 5150
General
This schedule summarizes the eliminations required
for the 5110 income statement, which is the schedule
that contains numerous inter-LOB eliminations.
Report only elimination amounts on this schedule.
Compiling the correct eliminations required to
consolidate the FRS LOBs requires an understanding
of the FRS LOB definitions and the rules governing
inter-LOB transactions. For background on this see

24

the Chapter II, "FRS Overview," sections B, C, G, H, I and J.
The hatched out areas are provided to indicate inter-LOB
transactions which are not permitted under the FRS rules or
which would not conceptually be possible in any case.
Columns A through G represent inter-LOB sales, while lines
01.00 through 07.00 represent the inter-LOB purchases. An
example of an elimination that should be reported on Schedule
5150 is the sale of natural gas from the production segment of
the domestic or foreign petroleum line of business to the
downstream natural gas line of business. This sale would be
eliminated on Line 04.00 in column C.

Line 7, column A
The amount reported on line 07.00, column A will be the
Operating Revenue and Operating Expense elimination
required on Schedule 5110, column B.

Foreign
Refining/Marketing Purchases and Sales of Raw Materials
Report for the Domestic and Foreign Refining/Marketing
Segment the volumes and values of raw materials purchased
and sold. Schedule 5212, line 01.00, columns A and E,
represents the volumes of crude oil and NGL purchased. The
volume of NGL purchased should only include that purchased
for use in the refining operations of the company. All other
NGL should be purchased by the Downstream Natural Gas
Line of Business. The volume of crude oil purchased should
agree with Schedule 5245, line 09.00, columns B and C.
Schedule 5212, line 01.00, columns C and G, represent the
volumes of crude oil sold and should agree with Schedule
5245, line 14.00, columns B and C. There should be no NGL
sold by Refining/Marketing. Schedule 5212, line 2, columns
A and E, represent the volumes of natural gas purchased for
use by the company in refining operations only. All other
natural gas is sold to the Downstream Natural Gas Line of
Business. Also, schedule 5212, line 04.00, columns D and H,
Totals (raw material sales), should agree with 5210, line
01.00, column F and K.

Segment the volumes and values of refined products
purchased and sold. Schedule 5212, line 08.00, columns D
and H, total refined product sales, should agree with 5210, line
02.00, columns F and K. Net sales (5212, line 08.00, column
C minus column A for domestic and 5212, line 08.00, column
G minus column E for foreign) should approximate total
refinery output (5242, line 18.00, column B for domestic and
column C for foreign). Such comparisons would be expected
to hold true on a product level comparison also.
Lines 09.00-11.00 -- Domestic and Foreign Production
Segment Purchase and Sales of Raw Materials
Report for the Domestic and Foreign Production Segment the
volumes and values of raw materials purchased and sold.
Note that pursuant to the FRS trading rules, the Domestic and
Foreign Production Segment is not permitted to purchase
crude oil, so only NGL's should be reported on 5212, line
09.00, columns A-B and E-F (see the FRS Overview section
of the instructions). Schedule 5212, line 9, columns C and G,
should reflect the volumes of crude oil sold to

EIA-28 Survey Instructions

Refining/Marketing, and the volumes of NGL sold to
the Refining/Marketing and Downstream Natural Gas
lines of business. The volume of NGL should be the
sum of the volume sold to Refining/Marketing for the
company’s own use and the volume sold to
Downstream Natural Gas. Likewise, the volumes of
natural gas sold on line 10, columns C and G, should
be the sum of the volumes sold to
Refining/Marketing for the company’s own use and
the volumes sold to Downstream Natural Gas.
Lines 12.00-21.00--Domestic Dispositions of
Refined Products
This section is a further breakdown of the totals
appearing above in 52l2, line 08.00, columns C & D,
and therefore line 18.00, columns B through G,
should agree with lines 05.00 through 08.00, columns
C & D, above.
Report in column H, lines 19.00, 20.00, and 21.00,
the number of active automotive outlets at period end

"open dealers." See the Glossary entry, "Company
Automotive (Retail) Outlet" for definitions.
Please note that the volumes and values reported on
lines 14.00 and 15.00, columns B and C, should be
for the outlets reported in column H, except that there
will be some volumes and values associated with
outlets closed during the year. In other words, except
for the outlets closed during the year, only report
outlets in column H for which volumes and values
are reported in columns B and C. Outlets for which
the company has made the decision to close prior to
year end, but were not officially closed before the
end of the year, should be reported in column H.
Outlets which are part of operations reported as
discontinued at year-end should still be reported on
Schedule 5212.
