Optimize Logistics Management in Endur for Enhanced Profitability

Navigating through the Challenges of Scheduling Process

Managing the scheduling and logistics for liquid hydrocarbons, gas, and other bulk commodities is a complex undertaking. Moreover, these processes often tend to be riddled with manual interventions that can lead to an increase in errors & unexpected issues. With the increasing number of spot trades, and increased granularity & complexities and the need for accurate pipeline tracking, companies face numerous challenges such as:

Data Complexity

Companies face the challenge of complex data processing, specifically the need to efficiently handle vast volumes of rate information at the pipeline, zone, and location levels when scheduling Crude, Refined Products or Natural Gas.

Integration Issues

Integration challenges in the gas industry arise from varied transportation modes, complicating coordination and data synchronization. Efficient scheduling and synchronization are crucial for seamless batch liquid pipeline operations.

Transaction Risks

Inefficient nominations management poses significant financial risks, especially in
high-value LNG transactions, where a single cargo can average around US$76
million under a standard SPA
agreement.

Optimize Logistics Management for Enhanced Profitability

We have achieved tangible value for our clients through integrating Endur with upstream systems. Leveraging advanced scheduling modules such as cMotion, gMotion, and pMotion, we successfully optimize operations to address logistics challenges. If you’re seeking operational optimization in logistics management, consider the following examples of our expertise to assist you in achieving your goals.

Continuous Tracking and Optimization of Cargo Scheduling

Traditional ETRM systems often struggle to keep pace with frequent changes in cargo scheduling due to evolving market conditions. We have successfully leveraged Endur’s cMotion functionality to bring significant value to our clients. By harnessing cMotion, we enable continuous tracking of Balanced Actual Volume (BAV), providing real-time visibility into cargo volumes and balances, and optimizing their cargo scheduling. This level of visibility empowers companies to adapt quickly to evolving market conditions and capitalize on optimal opportunities.

Streamlining Pipeline Data Processing

Drawing on our extensive experience in configuring Endur’s scheduling modules, we have assisted energy companies in overcoming the daunting task of managing large amounts of pipeline data and calculating deal economics. Our clients are now able to streamline the processing of pipeline data, resulting in simplified logistics management for liquids, gas, and other bulk commodities. This reduction in complexity ensures accurate calculations of deal economics, enabling them to make informed decisions and optimize their operations.

End-to-End Planning and Management of Logistics

Efficient Nomination Management and Settlements

To prevent data loss and save time on reconciling information between Endur and ERP systems, it’s important to have accurate financial processes in place. This includes efficient book closing and timely financial reporting. Endur’s Settlement Desktop module offers “custom bridges” that help establish connections between the systems, simplify the overall system structure, improve error handling, and most importantly enable real-time exporting of document data.

Comprehensive Transaction Management and Risk Mitigation

Our customized solutions leverage Endur’s transaction management platform to maximize the potential of equity production activities for energy companies. We help enhance efficiency in production scheduling-related activities, including owner interest and imbalance management, marketing arrangement coordination, volume allocation, and seamless connectivity to transportation or storage systems. Through our tailored approaches, we optimize processes, improve coordination, and drive operational efficiency in the dynamic energy market.

Empowering Energy Logistics with Value Creed's Endur Integration Solutions

In our quest to deliver optimal solutions to clients relying on Endur for their scheduling processes, we have harnessed the power of various components within the Endur ecosystem. With Endur’s built-in functionalities like CMotion, GMotion, and PMotion, coupled with the ability to customize them to suit specific business requirements, we have created solutions that directly add value to our clients’ operations.

Moreover, by utilizing Openlink’s XML-based Connex Gateway, we have seamlessly integrated Endur with other scheduling platforms, such as pipeline EBBs, Railcar Logistics systems, and Truck ticketing systems. These integrations have yielded a host of benefits for our clients, empowering them to effectively manage their scheduling within Endur:

Enabling Agile Decision Making through Distributed Job Processing

Efficiency is the cornerstone of effective decision-making. Our approach included employing distributed job processing on grid servers, reducing latency to nearly one-third. The result is faster decision-making, empowering our clients to respond quickly to market changes and seize opportunities.

Streamlining Volume and Delivery
Management

Empowering clients with efficient volume and delivery management tools is vital. A customized scheduling workbench allows for creating and modifying nominations, accommodating various views and business needs, streamlining delivery locations, volume adjustments, and Best Available Volume updates.

Achieving a Comprehensive Financial View from Scheduling Activities

A comprehensive view of financials is crucial for effective energy logistics. Seamless connectivity between nominations, pipelines, zones, locations, and valuation pools ensures accurate settlements, reflecting exposure and financial implications.

Simplifying Logistics with
Automation

Automation can significantly reduce manual effort and the risk of errors. Our integration expertise allows us to simplify the process of adding nominations by automatically creating legs on trades. This efficient automation streamlines the logistics process and increases operational reliability.

Stay Ahead in the Competitive Energy Landscape with Value Creed

Value Creed’s unwavering dedication to fully harnessing the capabilities of the Endur ecosystem and seamlessly integrating with other scheduling platforms ensures that we persistently deliver customized solutions that provide tangible value. The positive outcomes of these efforts are reflected in our clients’ experiences, where they have witnessed improved operational efficiency, a decrease in manual workload, and heightened reliability in their scheduling processes. By partnering with Value Creed, companies can transform logistics management into a strategic advantage, navigate industry complexities, make data-driven decisions, and stay ahead in the fast-paced energy market.
