Client spend for energy + drag reducing agent > $50 million annually
Client considered future technology investments across enterprise; needed to estimate financial impact to qualify potential investment
Client traditionally relied upon a simple “playbook” of station configurations to select pumping schemes
Opportunity
Acclaim could help break in to the midstream segment through its analytics
Acclaim could additionally build upon its knowledge base and develop scalable offerings to introduce them into a $1 billion industry
By understanding the energy vs. drag reducing agent “relationship” from an analytical perspective, Acclaim would have yet another differentiator to bring value to other midstream clientele
Impact
Acclaim’s data analytics provided alternative system configurations demonstrated within the data to save between 10 and 14 percent
Through its work, Acclaim discovered that additional significant savings were possible through focused optimization at the station level
Annual pipeline pumping costs exceed $50 million, with savings potential as high as $7.5 million
