 INTRODUCTION

Gas Billing System:

Effective billing and collection systems are a critical component for ensuring the viability of
a service provider. Improving billing and collection activities has an immediate impact on the
revenue streams of a service provider that can, in turn, help the service provider in improving
services. However, while effective billing and collection practices depend on many internal
factors (including customer databases, the extent of metered and unmetered service provision,
tariff and billing structures, delivery of bills, and facilities for customer payments), the
institutional arrangements under which service providers operate and provide services
determine whether such practices will remain sustainable in the long term. Efficient billing
and collection practices can set incentives for the provider to effectively charge and collect
gas bills while also fulfilling a commercial orientation to services.
The introduction of smart metering is one of the core elements in recent European policies
targeting the environmental sustainability and the competitiveness of gas and electricity
markets. Many utilities today are evaluating the potential benefits of Smart Metering for all
utility stakeholders. Smart Metering gives customer’s real-time consumption information via
display device that translate the meter reading into a form the customer can easily understand.
These devices help customers change their consumption, should they wish to do so, without
having to wait for the end of the month or the end of the quarter to view the results from
conservation initiatives. Displays tailored to the specific needs of the user, such as those
comparing current use with neighborhood averages or with consumption in previous months,
may help consumers further focus on conservation. Utilities can use time-of-use or interval
data to better analyze and manage supply portfolios and the scheduling of generation or
supply withdrawal from storage fields or reservoirs. Interval data matched to customer type
and location is particularly helpful in identifying needs for network or pipeline repairs or
changes. It can also point to the location and size of leaks or theft. Some Smart Metering
systems permit meters to send “last gasp” messages when they are going out of service.
These help utilities identify the location and extent of an electrical outage or a break in a gas
main.
Utilities frequently use a Smart Metering communications network to obtain an off-cycle,
“final” meter read for customers moving or leaving the area. It is common to couple these
real-time final meter reads with web sites for on-line bill payment or with call centers that
accept payment over the phone. Utilities frequently find it is easier and less costly to obtain
rapid final payments from customers before they leave the area. Remote meter disconnects
are another cost-saving feature of many Smart Metering systems. These reduce the costs to
send field crews to the premises of customers who have either requested a disconnect or who
are being disconnected (or ratcheted back) for bill nonpayment. Smart Metering applications
often permit utilities to check meter status (“ping the meter”) prior to sending a repair crew in
response to a customer call. These checks prevent needless field crew dispatch to customer
sites where problems are not the utility’s responsibility. Most Smart Metering applications
permit remote theft-detection tests geared to the type of meter and the type of utility service.
They can ensure that almost all bills are based on actual meter reads rather than on estimates;
this reduces calls to the contact center and improves customer satisfaction. However, at the
basic level most Gas companies that cannot utilize smart metering make use of database
applications to track customer billing records and also update it quickly. It is in view of the
numerous applications of computer in gas utility management that necessitated this study.
The computer system is a very important and powerful tool and organizations that have
realized its benefits are taking full advantage of it to get better operations and accurate
outputs. One of the major applications of computers is in billing. This is so because the
computer system is fast and accurate in the carrying out of computations. A computerized gas
billing system for is an application that will enable the gas company to carry out their billings
accurately. The overall objective of gas companies is to provide quality gas service to
consumers at reasonable charges. The present billing system has been in place from inception
and it is manually obtained. The profit or loss made by an organization is dependent on the
nature of its billing system. This therefore necessitates the use of more reliable, accurate and
efficient equipment such as the computer system for the processing of the bill of customers.
This shift from manual to digital will bring about positive growth in the operations of the
company.

Statement of the Problems

The following problems were identified:

1. Poor billing and collection practices primarily emanate from the lack of willingness of
the service provider to accurately charge for services being delivered and the lack of a
political will to set tariffs that would allow for recovering the costs incurred in
supplying the service.
2. Most service providers do not have well-defined and proper computerized or
automated systems to maintain financial records for gas billing.
3. The manual process of billing bring about arguments between customers and service
providers,
4. there is no adequate record management system to aid in the accurate computation
and updating of gas bill records.

This situation therefore warrants an automated gas billing system.

Aim and Objectives of the Study

The aim of the study is to develop an automated gas billing system that will help in
maintaining record of customers’ gas bill. The following are the specific objectives of the
study:

1. To design a database system that will help maintain record of customers’ gas bill
 2. To implement a system that will accurately compute the gas bill of customers.
3. To design a system that will out-perform the manual way of recording and computing
the gas bill of customers
4. To design a system to facilitate easy updating of gas bill records and presentation of
gas bill reports.

Significance of the Project

The significance of the study is that it will facilitate accurate computation of gas bills and
also aid the easy management of customers’ gas bill records of God is Good gas company, it
will aid in eliminating errors associated with the computation of gas bill and provide an
instant means of updating gas billing records. The study will also serve as a useful reference
material to other researchers seeking for information relating to the subject.
