Case Study: SemCAMS improves AFE efficiency and visibility with Aucerna Execute

SemCAMS Improves Midstream Operations with a More Efficient AFE Process

SemCAMS, a business unit of SemGroup Corporation and one of the largest licensed sour gas processors in Western Canada, was managing its Approval for Expenditures (AFE) process with complex Excel spreadsheets. As the company grew, the manual workflow became cumbersome, hard to track, and increasingly error-prone, with staff often having to search the office to find where an AFE was sitting in the approval process.

To modernize the process, SemCAMS implemented Aucerna Execute, Aucerna’s AFE workflow and capital tracking system, with a custom setup that mirrored its existing approval workflow. The result was a more efficient, transparent, and easier-to-use AFE process, with fewer manual errors and faster tracking of approvals; within the first year, SemCAMS reported significantly less time spent compiling, tracking, and correcting AFEs, along with better visibility into approval status.
