Revolutionizing Energy Measurement with W Energy & AMP
W Energy and Agile Midstream Products (AMP) have partnered to integrate W Energy’s Stream+ platform with AMP’s HighWire measurement technology, creating a cloud-native solution that unifies midstream oil and gas measurement and accounting workflows to eliminate manual data entry errors, reduce revenue discrepancies, accelerate month-end close cycles, and modernize legacy disconnected systems.
Midstream operators often face challenges such as disconnected systems, manual data entry, revenue discrepancies, and ongoing tension between measurement teams and accounting departments. Traditionally, these inefficiencies have been accepted as unavoidable due to legacy infrastructure. However, a new collaboration between W Energy and Agile Midstream Products (AMP) aims to change this by integrating W Energy’s Stream+ platform with AMP’s HighWire measurement technology. This partnership delivers a cloud-native solution that bridges the gap between field measurement and financial accounting, resulting in a unified workflow that reduces errors, accelerates close cycles, and transforms midstream operations.
Why Measurement and Accounting are Still Disconnected in Midstream
The disconnect is rooted in legacy systems built decades ago, where manual data transfer was standard. Measurement data is often siloed in one platform, while accounting data resides in another. Reconciling the two requires spreadsheets, manual checks, and frequent communication between teams. This leads to:
- Errors from manual data entry, causing revenue loss
- Discrepancies between measured volumes and financial records, leading to disputes
- Lengthy month-end close cycles
- Difficulty identifying problems in real time due to slow data flow
Traditional measurement systems were not designed to communicate with modern accounting platforms. As a result, oil and gas measurement software and midstream accounting software evolved separately, creating a permanent workflow gap. Operators have relied on workarounds that add complexity rather than solving the core issue. The industry needs integrated technology that treats measurement and accounting as a continuous process.
A Strategic Partnership Built to Modernize the Midstream Workflow
The collaboration between W Energy and AMP leverages their complementary expertise:
- AMP’s HighWire: A cloud-based platform capturing real-time volume data across gathering, processing, and transportation assets.
- W Energy’s Stream+: An integrated software platform for midstream plant accounting, pipeline accounting, and land management.
Together, these platforms create a seamless connection between measurement and accounting. HighWire captures field volume data and transmits it directly to Stream+, where it feeds into allocation algorithms, settlement calculations, and financial reporting. This integration eliminates manual data transfers, reduces the time between measurement and financial visibility, and provides a single source of truth for operational and financial teams.
What the Integration of HighWire and Stream+ Delivers
The integrated solution offers several benefits:
- Real-time data connectivity: Measured volumes appear in accounting systems immediately, providing near-instant operational visibility.
- Faster processing: Stream+ processes data 150 times faster than industry averages, enabling month-end close cycles in hours instead of days.
- Transparency: CalcTrace™ functionality provides step-by-step visibility into settlement calculations, reducing invoice disputes and building customer confidence.
- Scalability: The platform adapts as operators grow their asset portfolios, supporting gathering systems, processing plants, and transportation networks without custom integrations.
- Proactive notifications: HighWire alerts users to volume anomalies or meter discrepancies. Stream+ processes these alerts within the accounting workflow, turning them into actionable tasks to resolve issues before they affect invoicing or reporting.
- Business intelligence: DataView™, W Energy’s embedded business intelligence solution, offers customizable dashboards and reports for analyzing trends and monitoring performance. The platform also integrates with external BI tools like Power BI, Tableau, and Spotfire.
