Rapid Identification of Suspect Data—Data Problem Summary Screen
The Data Problem Summary Screen provides a summary view of all collected data, alerting users when eFCASTM detects missing or questionable data. A single mouse-click presents the suspect data detail for evaluation.

EFM Data Editing and Recalculation
eFCASTM presents tabular and graphical views of edited EFM data and original EFM data. eFCASTM securely stores original data—which cannot be edited—along with the edited data. All data editing is tracked in an audit trail, capturing user’s name, time of, and reasons for changes. eFCASTM recalculates volumes using the latest AGA standards, both detail and gross methods, as well as NX-19. Following validation, data can be transferred to corporate information systems.

When a user selects specific data for editing, the user is presented with a table containing volume and—depending on user preferences—parameters such as pressure, delta pressure, temperature, and specific gravity values for each sample. The table may be scrolled in either direction, using scroll bars, or dragging a selection. Markers between rows in the table indicate the start and end of each contract day for the selected meter run.
                                                

 Storage

Both sets of EFM data, original and edited, are stored in a secure, enterprise SQL database.
 

 

Tabular and Graphical Views of EFM Data

Views
The tabular and graphical views of EFM data , gas analysis, and characteristics are presented identically for both viewing and editing, but editing features are removed if a user does not have edit privilege for a given flow computer.  Users may select which parameters are displayed in tables, and in which order. Users may also print ranges of tabular data, ranges of graphical data, or detail for a given sample.

Missing data is indicated in the tabular views, with time stamps for any missing entries, corresponding to the sample interval for the flow computer. Missing data that is Uncollected, and Suspect data, are visually different from each other and from known good data.

The tree view provides easy visualization and organization of all meters, meter stations, and flow computers in your enterprise. It also provides easy navigation to configuration parameters for flow computers and meters—such as calculation methods and meter limits.

Integration
eFCASTM is fully integrated with NSI’s suite of real-time upstream products.  See nsiupstream.com for more details.
