A system adapted to collect and analyze operational information from a network of components associated with a liquid energy commodity, comprising: a storage measurement module adapted to receive and analyze images of one or more storage facilities collected by a thermal imaging camera to measure an amount of the liquid energy commodity in storage at each of the one or more storage facilities, storing such measurement data in a first database; one or more power monitoring devices including sensing elements responsive to electric potential and magnetic flux densities associated with power lines for pumping stations on one or more pipelines; a flow rate determination module adapted to receive and process the measurements of the electric potential and magnetic flux densities associated with the power lines for pumping stations on one or more pipelines to determine a power consumed by each respective pumping station and a flow rate of the liquid energy commodity in each of said one or more pipelines, storing such flow rate data in a second database; an operational status module adapted to receive and process information about an operational status of a processing facility obtained by a thermal imaging camera and to store that operational status information in a third database; an analysis module adapted to query the first database, the second database, and the third database and to analyze the measurement data, the flow rate data, and the operational status information to determine a balance of the liquid energy commodity in the network or a selected portion thereof at a given time; and a communications module adapted to communicate information about the balance of the liquid energy commodity to a third-party market participant. a storage measurement module adapted to receive and analyze images of one or more storage facilities collected by a thermal imaging camera to measure an amount of the liquid energy commodity in storage at each of the one or more storage facilities, storing such measurement data in a first database; one or more power monitoring devices including sensing elements responsive to electric potential and magnetic flux densities associated with power lines for pumping stations on one or more pipelines; a flow rate determination module adapted to receive and process the measurements of the electric potential and magnetic flux densities associated with the power lines for pumping stations on one or more pipelines to determine a power consumed by each respective pumping station and a flow rate of the liquid energy commodity in each of said one or more pipelines, storing such flow rate data in a second database; an operational status module adapted to receive and process information about an operational status of a processing facility obtained by a thermal imaging camera and to store that operational status information in a third database; an analysis module adapted to query the first database, the second database, and the third database and to analyze the measurement data, the flow rate data, and the operational status information to determine a balance of the liquid energy commodity in the network or a selected portion thereof at a given time; and a communications module adapted to communicate information about the balance of the liquid energy commodity to a third-party market participant.
