Problem
Operator receives a wide variety of crude entering their terminal, but currently has no means of measuring sales stream VP other than spot samples. Difficulty in policing irregular upstream volumes results in value giveaway while increasing blending risk.
Solution
Virtual analyzer was implemented based on AI models to provide real-time estimatesof VP and feed data directly into the client’s 360 interface and SCADA. The solution provides accurate VP for the client to drive blend decisions.
Results
Validere’s virtual analyzer solution uncovered$1.5 million / yr in total expected uplift with a 1 year ROI of 422% based on Validere’s monthly fee.
