ProTrend Case Study

Image
A midsize oil and gas producer was in search of a  solution to improve their fluid analysis storage,   sample scheduling and meter calibration to comply with regulatory  requirements. Their current manual approach was no  longer feasible for fluid analysis & meter calibration, as a recent acquisition had increased  their asset size to over 10,000 meters. Critical Control’s ProTrendTM offered a solution to  provide a central storage location for all fluid analysis  composition data and meter calibration. This fluid analysis data is automatically  uploaded where a validation process flags any  samples that are out of the client’s predetermined  parameters, significantly decreasing manual  intervention. ProTrend’s centralization of the fluid analysis ensured that all  the composition data information was made available in  one location. This decreased the time that spent by  the producer’s administrator searching for the  applicable fluid analysis data to prove compliance. As all pro

ProMonitor Schematics

An engineer at Canadian oil and gas producer was in search of a schematic solution that was easy to use and cost efficient. Their 50 facility schematics needed to be accessible by different business units. Their current alternative was more complicated than necessary and didn’t minimize pipeline risk and provide robust pipeline integrity . Critical Control’s ProMonitorTM Schematics was selected as it is a web-based oil & gas schematics.  It is fully hosted pipeline software that allows for access through any computer or mobile device. It uses public and private data for pipeline risk to make the implementation timeline quick, cost effective and improves pipeline integrity. ProMonitorTM Schematics loads public and private data for pipeline risk, wells, pipelines, and facilities that a client operates or licenses into ProMonitor.  It means the implementation is 85% complete before going back to the client. Using pipeline risk data analytics, pipeline software and measurement knowledg

The Audit Case - ProChart Case Study

Image
An American oil and gas producer had recently flagged an issue with their current gas chart integrator. They were in search of a company to audit the previously completed charts to determine the accuracy. Clearly, providing an accurate assessment of gas production is key to ensuring compliance with local state and movement regulations and to properly complete monthly revenue allocations.  This company understood the value in accuracy and asked us to conduct an audit to ensure full compliance. ProChartTM is the leading industry standard for gas chart integration, chart recorder and gas chart reporting system across North America, providing services to over 800 clients in Canada and the United States. It is the most accurate chart integration and chart recorder company, offering the free audit to flag any discrepancies. ProChartTM is a software used for digital gas chart integration and gas chart reporting, with 4 levels of quality assurance. This gas chart reporting and gas recorder has

SAVED 2-3 DAYS OF TIME PREVIOUSLY SPENT SEARCHING/SHARING INFORMATION

Prior to using ProTrend this involved manually reviewing  each gas analysis report and since the prior analysis  history was not easy to find, there typically was no  comparison/trending as a basis for validation. ProTrend  has saved Client X considerable time by automatically  passing the majority of lab analyses and only flagging truly  off trend samples. The greatest benefit from the ProTrend  validation tool for Client X is the improved integrity of  their gas compositions used in SCADA, Chart Integration  and FlowCal. Client X utilize the ProTrend validation tool  as the gate keeper for all analyses by failing suspicious  samples before they are exported, leading to increased  confidence in their gas volumes across the board. ProTrend has pre-defined analysis exports for  numerous third-party systems, including FlowCal,  Cygnet, chart or SCADA software etc. By exporting  and importing laboratory analyses electronically,  Client X can eliminate time consuming manual entry  of gas analys
