The Challenge
Sakhalin Energy, the operator of the world’s largest integrated oil and gas development, was facing challenges with its outdated contract management system. The system, which had been in use since the company's formation, provided a database where all tenders and contracts were tracked and their status monitored. However, it did not provide the operational teams full transparency of what was happening, nor did it offer the ability to report on tender and contracting activities. The company was also in the early stages of two major expansion projects and needed a solution that could manage and mitigate potential contract variations and claims associated with these projects.
About The Customer
Sakhalin Energy Investment Company Ltd. is based in the Russian Federation and operates the world’s largest oil and gas development. The company produced 5.22 million tonnes of crude oil and 10.82 million tonnes of LNG in 2015, accounting for 4% of the global LNG market and producing over 300 million barrels of oil since 2008. Sakhalin Energy is responsible for all contracting and procurement activities for the company. The company's supply chain management team sought to find a sophisticated contract management solution that would work for both operational contracting and major projects, by codifying its processes and enforcing its governance procedures.
The Solution
Sakhalin Energy selected AVEVA ProCon’s contract management system solution to improve and streamline their processes. The company implemented AVEVA ProCon in 2015 to manage both Pre-Award and Post-Award processes. The initial requirements gathering was completed on site in Sakhalin by AVEVA ProCon consultants, while system build was completed remotely. AVEVA ProCon is being used across the whole of Sakhalin Energy’s contracting team to manage over 200 tenders per year and over 1,000 operational contracts across wells, production, logistics, corporate services, small projects and two major expansion projects.

DownUnder GeoSolutions (DUG) wanted to increase computing performance by 5 to 10 times to improve seismic processing. The solution must build on current architecture software investments without sacrificing existing software and scale computing without scaling IT infrastructure costs.
Case Study
Remote Wellhead Monitoring
Each wellhead was equipped with various sensors and meters that needed to be monitored and controlled from a central HMI, often miles away from the assets in the field. Redundant solar and wind generators were installed at each wellhead to support the electrical needs of the pumpstations, temperature meters, cameras, and cellular modules. In addition to asset management and remote control capabilities, data logging for remote surveillance and alarm notifications was a key demand from the customer. Terra Ferma’s solution needed to be power efficient, reliable, and capable of supporting high-bandwidth data-feeds. They needed a multi-link cellular connection to a central server that sustained reliable and redundant monitoring and control of flow meters, temperature sensors, power supply, and event-logging; including video and image files. This open-standard network needed to interface with the existing SCADA and proprietary network management software.

Refinery Saves Over $700,000 with Smart Wireless
One of the largest petroleum refineries in the world is equipped to refine various types of crude oil and manufacture various grades of fuel from motor gasoline to Aviation Turbine Fuel. Due to wear and tear, eight hydrogen valves in each refinery were leaking, and each cost $1800 per ton of hydrogen vented. The plant also had leakage on nearly 30 flare control hydrocarbon valves. The refinery wanted a continuous, online monitoring system that could catch leaks early, minimize hydrogen and hydrocarbon production losses, and improve safety for maintenance.
