Oil and Gas

Description

Over a 7 year period, managed, designed and developed projects to support a major natural gas pipeline that handles 1 billion dollars of annual operating income from transportation of natural gas. Due to de-regulation, the corporation went from 95% of its business generated from sales and 5% from transportation and storage, to 100% of business from transportation and storage and 0% from sales. The systems and processes, which supported this business transformation, required accuracy and extreme flexibility to support constant changes imposed by the governmental regulating agency. Failure to respond in a timely and accurate manner would result in daily financial penalties. Often times these changes had to be implemented within less than 30 days. Development of these system employed three-tier architecture. The systems created included the following components:

 
  • Customer Relationship Management
  • Contract Management
  • Pipeline Management
  • Volume Allocation
  • Transportation and Exchange
