ProTrend Case Study

1. ProTrend Case Study able to find the required information is the most important step. Decrease time spent organizing and validating fluid analyses Critical Control’s ProTrendTM automatic validation process compares each component against client determined limits, flagging those that need to be further analyzed. This reduces the amount of analyses that require human intervention, freeing up time for the administrator. Along with saving time with the central repository and automatic validation, ProTrend can set up sample and calibration sampling which contributes to compliance and exemption reporting. A midsize oil and gas producer was in search of a solution to improve their fluid analysis storage and sample scheduling to comply with regulatory requirements. Their current manual approach was no longer feasible, as a recent acquisition had increased their asset size to over 10,000 meters. Each ProTrend subscription includes unlimited users accounts and software training. Critical Control’s ProTrendTM offered a solution to provide a central storage location for all fluid analysis and calibration data. This data is automatically uploaded where a validation process flags any samples that are out of the client’s predetermined parameters, significantly intervention. Average Implementation Timeline for ProTrend Implementation Milestones Time to Implement Database Structure Setup 4-6 weeks Validate Historical Analyses 2-4 weeks decreasing manual Scheduling 1-2 weeks Initial User Training 1-2 weeks ProTrend provides a central repository for fluid analysis and meter calibrations With the help of Critical Control and the cooperation of the producer, implementation of ProTrendTM was completed in under 14 weeks. Centralizing the fluid analyses and sample schedules made tracking much easier and made sure sampling was consistent. With these processes in place, exemptions were found, decreasing both the time and cost of fluid analysis. ProTrend’s centralization of analyses ensured that all the composition information was made available in one location. This decreased the time that spent by the producer’s administrator searching for the applicable data to prove compliance. As all producers know, when it comes to proving compliance, being
