Minister of State for Petroleum and Natural Gas and Corporate Affairs R P N Singh launched Asia's First Integrated Gas Management System at the corporate office of GAIL (India) Limited here.
This Gas Management System is the third of its kind in the world after Petrobras in Brazil and Pemex in Mexico.
The system will establish an integrated and enterprise wide system in place, covering GAIL’s entire pipeline network. All the information related to commercial transactions like gas volume, calorific value, consumption of gas, value of gas consumed, nominated quantity of the gas delivered, transmission tariff, price of gas, other costs and applicable taxes etc. will be available on real-time basis with this system.
The system will help in monitoring operational aspects of the pipeline on real-time basis, including information regarding network utilization, gas sales, volume transferred, revenue generation through gas sales and price variations.
It will also facilitate online invoicing which could be downloaded at customers’ end from the GMS portal directly, thus enabling better customer service and faster realisation.
Gas Management System will also enable online receipt of nomination and revision in nomination, real-time supervisory control and data acquisition interface, daily inventory and availability of invoices to all customers online as well as through email. Further, the inbuilt system scalability will allow configuration of complex allocation rules and subsequent addition of new pipelines.
