挑战
CITGO, a multi-faceted refiner and marketer of transportation fuels, lubricants, petrochemicals and other petroleum-based products, is dedicated to the safety and health of its employees and the protection of the environment across its operations. The company is subject to numerous local, state and federal environmental and safety regulations from agencies like the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). CITGO continually analyzes, maintains, and improves its business processes to address compliance issues across the corporation. The company was looking for tools that would further strengthen its work processes and enhance performance. CITGO’s most recent project has been the design of an innovative Management of Change process powered by the IMPACT.

解决方案
CITGO has been using Sphera IMPACT ERM® software since 2003 to reduce worker health and safety risks while also improving efficiency and productivity. The company relies on IMPACT to monitor incidents and near misses throughout the organization. The company’s business units also use the system to document action items from many different activities, including external and internal audits. Sphera IMPACT allows the organization to store safety and environmental information in one easily accessible database. CITGO’s customized system will facilitate the use of best practices, standardize terminology and generate new, improved performance metrics across the enterprise. The automated Management of Change process will reduce paperwork. Less time will be spent updating and scanning documents. Having the ability to track all action items from a single electronic database will also drive efficiency.

Case Study
Taking Oil and Gas Exploration to the Next Level
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.
Case Study
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.
