The Challenge

Since 1999, Marathon has been utilizing Asset Performance Management (APM) from Meridium (now acquired by GE Digital) for its day-to-day reliability needs across a number of its business units, and currently has over 1,300 APM users. After implementing SAP, Marathon found that the modules were deeply customized and difficult to adapt to the existing reliability program. As a result, Marathon began looking into how to improve its overall operational support

Marathon
About The Customer
With more than 125 years of experience in the energy business, Marathon Petroleum Corporation operates an integrated refining, marketing, and transportation system that is concentrated primarily in the Midwest, Northeast, East Coast, Southeast, and Gulf C
The Solution

Marathon worked with its APM team to develop a customized operational support agreement to improve collaboration and assistance on technical support, functional consulting, strategic reviews, training, and everything in between. In an effort to solve issues more quickly, Marathon started working with a designated APM resource. This team member helped expedite implementation of new capabilities by having a more intimate knowledge of Marathon’s customer configurations as well as better evaluate existing capabilities and offer advice on how to improve platform use. In addition, Marathon implemented a mix of functional onsite and technical offsite support, a working task list to use as a reference, and customized training.

Operational Impact
  • [Efficiency Improvement - Operation]
    With the operational support agreement, Marathon’s reliability team was able to stay up-to-speed and improve the quality of support and daily use of APM. 
  • [Data Management - Data Collection]
    Get more out of existing enterprise asset management (EAM) and APM capabilities
  • [Efficiency Improvement - Issue Response]
    Improve quality and timeliness of issue resolution

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.
