A leading independent energy corporation focused on unconventional assets in the Appalachian Basin required a sophisticated platform to manage its physical and financial natural gas trading. The primary goal was to replace fragmented processes with a centralized system that provided clear visibility into risk and operational profitability.
The client faced challenges with manual data entry and a lack of real-time position reporting, which hindered decision-making in a volatile market. They required an advisory partner with deep senior-level expertise in energy to lead a complex system integration under a compressed timeline. Opportune was uniquely qualified due to its agile implementation approach and extensive track record of deploying ETRM solutions across the upstream supply chain.
Opportune rapidly deployed its Energy Supply & Trading experts to lead the end-to-end implementation of the Endur ETRM system. Our professionals modeled and optimized the trading environment by integrating the system directly with ICE (Intercontinental Exchange) for automated deal and pricing feeds, effectively eliminating 100% of manual entry requirements for these data points.
To drive executive-level value, Opportune structured and implemented a redesign of the netback calculation and developed custom margin and flash P&L reports for a real-time view of positions. We further integrated our subject matter expertise by acting as the primary liaison with the software vendor and facilitating a massive update of master reference data. To ensure long-term scalability, Opportune provided comprehensive user training and advised on the creation of a new mid-office group dedicated to managing physical and financial risk.
