How a North American midstream operator saved 2,300+ hours, an estimated $460K+ a year

Years of acquisitions left a leading North American midstream operator managing emissions and volumetric data across fragmented systems, spreadsheets, and manual workflows. There was no centralized source of truth for reduction analysis and carbon forecasting. Validere consolidated data collection across business units and automated measurement tracking. The operator saved 2,300+ hours a year on monthly Scope 1 reporting, an estimated $460K+ in annual labor value at a $200 fully loaded hourly cost.

01

The challenge

Years of acquisitions left the operator with fragmented systems, spreadsheets, and manual workflows. Volumetric reporting was spread across multiple tools, which created duplicated work and inconsistent data.

Without a centralized source of truth, emissions reduction analysis and carbon forecasting were harder to run consistently across business units and across Canadian and U.S. regulatory requirements.

02

The approach

Validere deployed an integrated solution with automated data pipelines for emissions and volumetric collection. Data collection was consolidated across business units, and reporting workflows moved into a shared operating environment.Fragmented inputs from acquired systems and spreadsheets were connected through automated pipelines into one measurement-tracking and reporting workflow, supporting applicable obligations across Canadian and U.S. jurisdictions.

The results

97% of measurements were automatically tracked. The operator saved 2,300+ hours annually in monthly Scope 1 reporting while tracking 15.4 million measurements across assets and supporting 35 applicable regulations across North America. The company also shifted from annual to monthly emissions reporting.Using a Validere fully loaded labor-cost assumption of $200/hour, that time savings is equivalent to an estimated $460K+ in annual labor value. This dollar figure is a derived estimate, not a customer-stated financial result. The customer-supported proof point remains the 2,300+ hours saved in monthly Scope 1 reporting.
