Daily allocation of gas
Vertex has been selected by a major producer to develop and implement a daily contract allocation
process to streamline field and gas plant operations. The system imports wellhead volumetric and
analysis data from a variety of sources and electronically delivers the owner sales by contract to pipeline
operators on a daily schedule. The same information is available to producers to support their revenue
forecasting and operations performance monitoring.
Phase 1 consists of consolidation of systems and data into a single comprehensive database supporting
the field and plant operators as well as the production and revenue accounting function.
What is particularly attractive to the producer is that the daily allocation process uses the same field
configuration data of wells, gathering, plant facilities, and sales contracts as is in place for the monthly
accounting function. This parallel approach means that system maintenance costs are minimal, and
producers can rely on the accuracy of their pipeline deliveries based on strict quality assurance on
inputs, and on daily meter balancing.
Phase 2 of the plan addresses the operations performance issues around reserves, production target vs. actual,
and monitoring performance of remediation steps.
Vertex expects to implement the web-enabled daily allocation process in Q2 2009, accompanied by
web-based training modules and dashboard interface.
