"The Flow-Cal Enterprise System provides Enbridge the ability to accurately and timely account for the volumes of gas entering and exiting the pipeline systems. Reconciliation of physical volumes to accounting for current and previous month's receipt, delivery, company use fuel, and unaccounted for volumes (UAF), is accomplished via the pipeline balance modules for the various assets, and the Prior Period Adjustment Summary. Additionally, all Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) Compliance requirements are met as a result of the inherent data integrity audit trails resident in the Enterprise system."

Untitled The Flow-Cal® System is a comprehensive and integrated software package that is designed to manage electronic gas measurement (EGM) data from the field meter to the corporate accounting system. The program originates with an automated import utility that incorporates elaborate expert system (ES) routines that can quickly identify suspect data for the measurement analyst. Once identified, several editing techniques are available to quickly and accurately correct the problem. Any changes are automatically logged while preserving a complete audit trail that not only meets, but actually exceeds the American Petroleum Institute's (API) Chapter 21 and the American Gas Association's (AGA) recommended standards.

The reporting module contains an extensive selection of standard reports including configuration options for format modification. With the use of the scheduler, reports can be automatically printed by the Windows® print manager and sent via e-mail, posted to a web site, or faxed. Ad hoc query and custom reports are always available because the Flow-Cal® System utilizes the Oracle® database, the most prolific large-scale database in the world. Oracle's® open database architecture provides for easy export to a downstream program, spreadsheet, or another database.

The addition of the system balance functions mean rapid access to valuable operational data that can assist with the identification of equipment malfunctions and measurement errors. In fact, depending upon the import technique employed, a complete system balance can be made available on a near-time basis. This results in earlier problem identifications, thereby minimizing losses and expediting resolution.

The Flow-Cal® System includes a complete suite of import drivers that will import data from virtually all major EGM and/or SCADA systems. The drivers alone are invaluable in providing vendor independence via the Flow-Cal® System's ability to transparently mix and match meter brands and models. The imported data has a high degree of integrity due to the manufacturer's unprecedented willingness to create and maintain Flow-Cal® drivers. Listed below are the current EFM Manufacturer and SCADA interfaces.
