Optimizing Production Cost thru effective energy management

Mr. Seong Jin ChoiSenior Engineer of information systemSK energy Ulsan Complex

An innovative approach to energy management

Mr. Bruce Taylor Manager, Business Process Integration Suncor Energy (USA).

“With respect to the roll up at the plant level of our fuel cost, steam balances, our carbon furnace emissions and then calculating a total loss profit opportunity for the day around the cost savings. …what we are very proud of, of putting this type of information up as a summary and we realized at the end of the day that the summary was just simply reduced to an EII.”



Pursuing Excellence through Key Performance Indicators

Mr. Takayuki Kawahata Deputy General Manager, Operation Management Department Fuji Oil Sodegaura Refinery

View from the top - Optimizing Upstream Operations in CNOOC

Mr. Wang Li MingXHQ Business ManagerSiemens AG

Mr. Xu FenGM of WallgateBeijing WallGate Information Technology Co., Ltd.

“From the head quarter they can usually drill down to the branch level and then they can drill down to further levels. Or the head quarter can also directly drill down to the well once there is an issue there and they can set the alarm. Once the alarm is set, they can quickly perform the analysis to detect what exactly is the problem and in which well.”



XHQ Operation in Idemitsu

Mr. Daiju MurakamiChief Associate – Process System CentreIdemitsu Kosan Co., Ltd.

“Headquarter solution can be seen by the six general offices, four refineries and the two (petrochemical) factories of Idemitsu.”



Adding visibility to integrated hydrocarbon operations

Mr. Saleh NabzahManager of Process Engineer & IT Solutions, Group LeaderSaudi Aramco

“We have almost covered all operating facilities, downstream until the upstream and now we are continuing our implementation to go higher level to implement the VP Dashboard and OSPAS.”



Optimizing geographically distributed upstream operations

Mr. Hasballah Facilities EngineerPT Chevron Indonesia

“We will centralize, but we will not bring all information to the decision making super centre, just a few of the important ones. We would like to keep one operator there, to analyze the upset or abnormal condition and to let the management know, to make the decision faster.”



Supporting the eyes of Idemitsu

Mr. Yoshio OhashiGeneral Manager Group IT center in Information Systems DepartmentIdemitsu Kosan Co.,Ltd.

“The reasons for looking into other site or operation could mainly be of three types:• Looking outside for a similar program in his own refinery.• Benchmarking against the best practice.• Providing expert advice to his peers in other refineries.

It is very clear from this behavior that there has been a silent cultural change in our operations. … Now people have accepted the openness and are using it to collaborate.”

Mr. Mark Hodgkison Operational Excellence ManagerCaltex Lytton Oil Refinery

“The PSI (Process Safety Information) portal we made up is a RIS (Refinery Information System) view which provides a single point access. We use it to access information like P&IDs, asbestos register, datasheets, MSDS, instrument drawings, electrical drawings, site safety standards.”
