Case Study

A natural gas gathering and processing company was facing several significant challenges. The company required a comprehensive solution to manage flowing gas gathering and transportation, plant processing, liquids scheduling and distribution in addition to real-time credit management.

Allegro provided the ability to handle the rigorous functional requirements associated with gathering and processing along with comprehensive physical commodity scheduling and distribution management. Additionally, the solution meets the ever-increasing importance of real-time credit management. Allegro’s Credit solutions simplify the management and tracking of the company’s credit policies across their upstream and midstream business units.

Gas Gathering & Processing ETRM Solutions

Allegro ETRM Solutions for Natural Gas Gas processors face unique business challenges when gathering natural gas and transporting it to the plant and tailgate. Processors must forecast volumes of processed gas and associated products in and out of the plant, track transactions, manage a variety of risks, and handle complex accounting and compliance issues. Allegro solutions can manage virtually every aspect of the natural gas contract lifecycle.

Allegro’s comprehensive solutions provide uniquely valuable tools across the natural gas gathering and processing business cycle.

Allegro’s Natural Gas Pipeline component manages physical gas scheduling, nomination, capacity utilization, measurement, allocation, and imbalances on natural gas pipelines for both pathed and non-pathed pipelines.
Allegro’s Liquid Natural Gas (LNG) component manages the liquification processing of natural gas to LNG and the re-gasification process of LNG back to natural gas. Additionally, it allows users to attach fees for payable or receivable activity within the process.
