What is Sigmafine?

Sigmafine is a Data Reconciliation and Validation tool created 20+ years ago for production accounting in the refining industry

The reconciliation rule uses a least-squares minimization algorithm to find the solution of process networks

Support several types of balances and analyses– Mass, – Component, – Volume, – Energy, – Crude Tracking


Production Accounting Needs Good Data

Production Accounting needs the transformation of raw data into production informationA dit bl th d l i– Auditable methodologies

– Compliance with standards due to regulations or contractual reasons• API 1980, API 2004• AMIRA• ASTMRegulations and methodologies are updatedRegulations and methodologies are updated

– API 2004 (e.g., requires pressure corrections, <2% effect)Production accounting meters don’t exist! D t h t b t d t f d d d t– Data has to be aggregated, transformed and exposed to users

– Before data gets published, it has to be validated


From the Operational Perspective

Many measurement and operational problems are not noticed until is too lateC t d t bi– Custody meter bias

– Unaccounted waste– Incorrect line-up– “Downgrade” of products– Unidentified and unnecessary recycling operations– Incorrect calculation factorsIncorrect calculation factors– Manual entry errorsAll of these above potentially can cause financial lossesU t t f illi f d ll d di th d i t– Up to tens of millions of dollars, depending on the processed inputs

and outputs


Sigmafine is not just a...

It is not just a data reconciliation application– Validation tool– Analysis engine– Business reporting platformIt is not just a production accounting applicationj p g pp

– Metal accounting– Composition Tracking– More– More...It is not just applied to oil refining

– Petrochemicals– Metals and Mining– Power– LNG facilities


Sigmafine redefinition: A data validation platform

Sigmafine is a data validation platform that allows you to make better business decisions:

– Enables the data aggregation and transformationgg g– Allows the implementation of standards– Exposes production information according to the user needs

Sigmafine capabilities are – Configurable according to company’s business rules– Expandible plugging-in of new intelligenceExpandible plugging in of new intelligence– Scalable (from single units to large process networks)– Reusable for different analysis– Compliant to international standars (e.g., API and ASTM)Compliant to international standars (e.g., API and ASTM)


Sigmafine as a data validation platform

The validation platform offers also advanced analysis techniques to:– Balance and reconcile the process network

Calculate imbalances– Calculate imbalances– Detect meter biases

Increases the confidence before data is published and used by other systems:systems:

– Planning and Scheduling– Maintenance– ERP– ERP

Plus the operational benefits:– Loss and waste reduction

Process Knowledge Management– Process Knowledge Management
