Full Energy Supply Chain Transparency with Energy Path Powered by Energy Data Studio
Energy Path enables users to trace the journey of every molecule of oil, gas, and NGL from its origin at the wellhead through processing, transportation, and to demand. By providing real-time visibility into each molecule’s location, Energy Path delivers an unmatched level of transparency and control over the entire production chain.
Case Study: Antero Resources in the Northeast Basin
Antero Resources is a leading natural gas and NGL producer in the Northeast Basin, operating across some of the region’s most prolific gas-rich acreage. As a dominant player, Antero contributes meaningfully to regional volumes and infrastructure utilization. Their assets are ideal examples of how complex hydrocarbon systems can be efficiently analyzed through Energy Path.
Producer-Level Production Visibility
A recurring industry challenge is the ability to quickly and accurately view operator-specific production. Energy Path resolves this by offering single-click access to Antero’s well-level production data, including:
- Current and historical output trends
- Geographic distribution of assets across the Northeast Basin
- System tie-ins for each well pad or cluster
This tool is designed to streamline decision-making for marketers, midstream operators, and asset developers who require granular insight into the contributions of individual producers.
Seamless Transition from Producer to System-Level Production
Antero’s volumes move through multiple gathering and processing (G&P) systems, with significant flow entering the MPLX midstream network. Historically, aggregating and aligning upstream and midstream data has been cumbersome. Energy Path overcomes this by offering integrated views of:
- Forecasted system-level production across all G&P assets tied to Antero
- Gross natural gas production by segment and subsystem
- NGL production trends, highlighting the interconnected flow of hydrocarbon streams
This enhanced connectivity from wellhead to processing and system outlet provides a more complete view of operational throughput.
Pipeline Flow Monitoring for End-to-End Supply Chain Transparency
Energy Path enables users to monitor the downstream movement of molecules beyond the plant gate. The tool provides precise insights into how NGL purity products are transitioned into key takeaway pipelines and ultimately to downstream markets.
In the Northeast Basin, molecules processed at plants like Demick Lake are observed entering the MPLX system, which connects to the ATEX (ethane) and Cornerstone (C3+) pipelines. These pipelines serve as critical egress routes for purity products exiting the basin toward major demand centers and export hubs.
Crucially, Energy Path allows users to:
- See how ethane (C2) and propane and heavier (C3+) volumes are separated and moved
- Track each purity product's path from processing plant to pipeline to market
- Identify potential bottlenecks or market dislocations based on route congestion or infrastructure outages
This level of transparency is essential for understanding real-time market dynamics, improving commercial strategies, and optimizing transportation efficiency.
Supply and Demand Intelligence by Product
The Northeast S&D analysis, embedded in Energy Path, provides product-level forecasts that span:
- Ethane (C2): Rejection vs. recovery volumes, petrochemical feedstock demand, and pipeline exports
- Propane, butane, and natural gasoline (C3+): Seasonal demand variability, storage and transport constraints, and pricing behavior
- Forecasts by producer, G&P system, and end destination
This detailed visibility supports tactical planning for marketing, hedging, and infrastructure investment.
