Oil & Gas Marketing
 
Software Experts .NET has a considerable experience within the oil and gas industry.  We have been actively involved in the development of oil and gas marketing systems for our customers.  This particular page will display some sample screen shots of the oil and gas marketing system (EMS) which were developed for our client (Calpine Corporation).  Several effort years went into the development of this internet based application which manages gas/oil/liquids.
 
Some points about the "Oil and Gas Marketing System" (EMS) include...
  • Companies - Manages company information for all counterparties (purchases, transporters, markets, operators, etc.).
  • Contracts - Allows you to manage all contracts with provision lists, alert/action lists, products, services, acquisition information, meters/wells, quality information, scanned contract information, pricing terms, etc.
  • Contacts - Provides for setup of your 'rolodex' of contacts for each of your companies and contracts.  These contacts can have specific roles and job functions AND can be setup with these functions by pipe/field.
  • Price Indices - Provides for the setup of price indices (daily, monthly and baskets).  Includes web service interfaces for posting index price updates automatically.  Also provides daily and multi-month online graphing of index prices.
  • Production Availability - Powerful PRE month of flow process which provides for establishing 'expected' volumes.  This 'expected' availability process does automatically emailing of estimates and confirmations of estimates to operators and shippers.  The availability volumes entered become the initial nomination volumes.
  • Deals - Provides for deals to be established (all tied to contracts).  Deals have pricing formulas, meter/well (with availability, nomination, estimated actuals and actual volumes).  Deals can be setup to 'auto' roll from month-to-month.  Option to send electronic email confirmation notices.  Copies of all deal correspondence (emails, etc.) are stored with each deal.  Deals can also be setup with financial overrides (for back fill order type situations).  Deals can also be setup for WASP (weighted average sales price) netback calculations.  Pricing components can be constructed and attached to deals as other costs.
  • Routing - The core of the system is its ability to manage the routing of volumes wherever it goes (split across multiple pipes, sold to multiple markets, whatever).  The system manages the 'molecules' and tracks all costs (gathering, transport, keep whole, compression, etc.) including fuel and pvr deductions.  All of these are used in the automated determination of deal margins.  An unlimited number of routing segments can be setup.  Also, routing 'templates' which enable automated routing across multiple pools with a single click.
  • Pipes/Fields and Meters/Wells - An unlimited number of pipes/fields can be setup and used in the system.  In addition, an unlimited number of meters/wells can be belong to each pipe/field.
  • Accounting - Provides for several automated functions for entering actuals (pipeline statements and/or truck tickets (for oil)).  Automated option for exporting to external accounting systems.  Provisions for entry of prior period adjustments are also available.
  • Other - This includes establishing; monthly status process to match work flow of the company, security functions/users, report inventory lists, report scheduling lists (for automated running of reports and emailing to participants), etc.
