Predicting the Dynamics Driving US Natural Gas Liquid (NGL) Waterborne Exports
Team Members: Leslie An, Yunda Jia, Michael Sptintson, Yuetong Yang, Yue Zhuo
This project applies statistical machine learning methods to identify primary driver(s) behind US propane and butane exports from the Gulf Coast and to develop a model to aid analysts in predicting those exports given world pricing and export data for the LPG market. The results may help Energy Transfer predict changes in markets more efficiently and identify pricing strategies to capitalize on them, which will lead to higher returns.

Midcontinent Business Unit Pumping Health: Predictive Maintenance
Team Members: Sara Bolf, Julia Coyner, Henry Creamer, Alexander Kalai, Kuida Liu, Kevin Ong
The project is to use daily well scan data and work-order data from Chevron to create a model that determines whether a pumping unit requires maintenance, which will later be used to create a predictive maintenance model to decrease non-producing time on these wells.
