A leading petrochemical market intelligence provider wanted to establish a system for
real-time tracking of movement and usage of Natural Gas fuel across 18
countries in Europe. The readings from various Gas Operators across these zones
are published in the public domain. The project involved the harvesting of data
in real-time, normalization of the readings across different systems of
measurement, and time zones, and validation using business rules and against
historic levels to ensure the correctness of data before pushing onto the Data
Lake. The real-time Tableau dashboard is populated by this feed and this
showcases the natural gas flow and outages across 18 countries on a visual
model. The demand and storage data along with historical values obtained at the
time of initial setup of a tracking location help to bring about predictions
based on historic trends. The project currently has an 8-year data backup
integrated onto the Data Lake to increase the accuracy of predictions based on
historic trends.
