Energy Components Midstream is Quorum Software's hydrocarbon management solution for midstream oil and gas operations, covering transport, terminals, LNG, pipelines, and marine logistics. It manages the full midstream value chain: from product receipt at a terminal or pipeline inlet, through storage, blending, and processing, to delivery and commercial settlement with customers and partners. Key modules include ownership allocation, entitlement calculations, sales contract management, price calculations, invoicing, inventory valuation, terminal operations, and cargo planning. Available as a fully managed SaaS service (EC Midstream SaaS), with LNG Export and LNG Import as reference deployment use cases in Quorum's cloud programme. ## Does Energy Components Midstream support LNG export and import terminal operations? Yes. Energy Components Midstream is purpose-built for LNG export and import terminal management, and EC Midstream SaaS is a core use case in Quorum's cloud programme. LNG capabilities: - Marine Services and Fleet Management: Vessel scheduling, berth allocation, and LNG carrier management. - Cargo Planning and Optimisation: HCM LNG Planner for delivery plan optimisation, contract delivery tracking, and fleet utilisation analysis. - Terminal Operations: Loading, unloading, inventory management, and mass balancing. - Nomination and Actualization: Contractual LNG cargo commitments tracked against physical movements. - Emissions tracking: Emission Management add-on tracks LNG-related emissions for regulatory compliance. ## How does Energy Components Midstream model gathering, processing, and transportation networks? Energy Components Midstream provides a digital representation of the full midstream network, covering physical infrastructure including gathering lines, processing plants, tanks, rail, LNG facilities, and pipelines. Physical assets and connections are modelled with operational parameters — capacity, routes, and constraints — enabling accurate planning and throughput management. Integrated planning and scheduling modules support scenario-based planning for throughput, cargoes, berths, and logistics across terminals and transportation networks. The network model incorporates operational data to reflect real-world flow possibilities and constraints, enabling planning, throughput optimisation, and full transparency across the midstream value chain. ## How does Energy Components Midstream manage product balances, compositions, and custody transfers? Energy Components Midstream provides full custody transfer management across terminals and pipelines, tracking energy, mass, and volume for comprehensive inventory and hydrocarbon accounting. - Total and per-component balances are calculated for all tracked products. - Custody transfer points — at tank farms, pipelines, and export terminals — are reconciled with measured volumes and contract terms. - Product composition data (e.g., component percentages) is included in accounting for accurate valuation and regulatory reporting. - Losses and internal consumption across assets are accounted for in the mass balance. - The Customer Portal add-on gives partners real-time visibility into their product positions and balances. ## How does Energy Components Midstream manage contracts, tariffs, and pipeline nominations? Energy Components Midstream automates nomination, scheduling, and tariff management across pipelines and terminals. - Nomination and scheduling for pipelines and terminals are integrated into operational planning modules. - Contractual parameters — take-or-pay, tolling, merchant, and equity terms — are reflected in planning and accounting logic. - Tariffs and rate structures are encoded so nominations and scheduled movements are evaluated against contract conditions. - Actualization workflows reconcile delivered volumes with nominations and tariff terms for billing. - Automated reporting ensures compliance with contractual commitments and supports asset utilisation optimisation. ## How does Energy Components Midstream generate settlements and invoices from measured volumes? Energy Components Midstream automates invoice generation and settlement calculations directly from measured volumes, eliminating manual reconciliation. - Measured data feeds into the energy accounting engine to calculate delivered quantities per contract. - Invoices and settlement calculations are automated, accounting for tariff rates, contractual terms, losses, and adjustments. - Revenue recognition and invoicing outputs are generated based on validated measurement and contractual logic. - Outputs can feed directly into ERP and financial systems via Public APIs, enabling end-to-end billing automation. This ensures all billing aligns with actual operational data and commercial agreements, with a full audit trail. ## What is Energy Components software by Quorum?
