Key Findings

Gain Benefits of:

• Seamless workflow
• Customized reporting & data export
• Easy and fast integration
• Accurate calculations

Reporting:

A FFVS module provides various reporting, including meeting Directive 060 requirements for the methane reduction – day-over day, month-over-month, year-over-year or specific date range.

Calculations:

• CCIR, Manual 15, WCI, Manufacture / Industry
• 60 routine, 25 non-routine, 74 sub calculations and various custom calculations
• Meter Allocations
  • The allocation methodologies can be selected – custom allocations can be set up.
  • Meter points behind meter points can be set up.
  • Aligns with the “new” Directive 017 requirements
• Production Equations
  • Complete audit and Revision management is in place
  • Allows you to bring in your metered and estimated volumes as needed for complex facilities
  • Revision control allows you to see what past calculations looked like in the event on an audit or such

Integrations:

• Analysis (heating value, volumetrics, compressibility) can be integrated with our model, stand alone or linked to external software (ProTend)
• Emissions – make available for your current processes for reporting needs
• Field App – not required, data inventory can be loaded in our application through our utility
• Petrinex – only key Petrinex attributes
• Maintenance – pigging does not have to go through a maintenance module. You can use our tool to manage both the emissions from pigging as well as the maintenance requirements and associated tracking requirements

Workflow:

Seamless process can provide you with:

• Accountability
• Make Logging and Validating data easier
• Escalation process with notification process so there is no screaming involved to get volumes needed
• Manage pipelines activities

Software Modules

Fuel, Flare, & Vent Reporting Software (FFVS):

Effectively manage your fuel, flare, vent data, with our comprehensive software in a FFV Software. Solutions can be a comprehensive software system designed to effectively manage data collection, calculations, logging, reports, and analytics relating to Fuel, Flare and Vent.

Metering Schematic Software (MMS):

Metering schematics are an in valuable tool for all levels of users. Why not make managing them as easy as possible and have all the field data connected to them in an interactive user experience? We’ve used over 12 years of building, updating and validating metering schematics for 70+ oil & gas producers, to design and build a system that works in the real world. To make schematics valuable, it needs to mirror the physical delineation of the asset, not built how other producers systems are setup. Schematics are a tool to communicate and identify in-differences between the field and the reporting of production.

With that in mind, there are systems to utilize proven schematic development practices:

• Manage revisions and document control
• Allow for redlining and updating live within the system so all users can see updates
• Automatically link to your field data (IDMS & FFVS)

Integrated Data Management System Software (IDMS):

Measurement meters and sample analysis are your business’s cash registers. Not only is it important to maintain and manage these for regulatory and compliance drivers but more importantly for financial reasons. Intricate built this system, from the ground up, with the intent to use in our field services we provide to our clients. We have been using it every day with 30-60 field staff for the past 7 years.

An effective software should not only work for our user but works for today’s challenging regulations.

System Highlights:

• Manage all meter maintenance activities (Calibrations, proving, verifications, internal inspections, ect.)
• Manage all sampling and analysis (right from the field sampler to the approval of the analysis
• Reporting (Importing, exporting, custom reporting)
• Schedule optimization (Exemption management)
• Custom workflow and approval
• System integrations with (FDC, PA, SCADA, WORK Order Systems, etc.)

Meter Maintenance Software (MMMS):

Manage all your maintenance tasks, work orders, and schedules from one program?
