挑战
Ultra Petroleum Corp. 是一家独立的石油和天然气公司，它面临着在不增加员工数量的情况下满足严格的财务报告要求的挑战。美国证券交易委员会 (SEC) 要求 Ultra 等上市公司提交财务报表，包括年度 10-K 和季度 10-Q 财务报告。这些报表必须使用可扩展商业报告语言 (XBRL) 进行标记，XBRL 是交换业务信息的全球标准。对于许多公司来说，XBRL 要求使他们的 SEC 报告工作量增加了一倍以上。Ultra 开始寻找一种解决方案，将 SEC 报告的控制权交还给最了解公司财务状况的人：会计部门。
关于客户
Ultra Petroleum Corp. 是一家独立的石油和天然气公司，从事石油和天然气资产的勘探、收购开发、生产和运营。该公司总部位于德克萨斯州休斯顿，主要专注于开发其位于怀俄明州西南部的天然气储备。近期大宗商品市场的波动导致石油和天然气价格大幅下跌，这意味着石油和天然气行业的企业面临着艰难的选择，以保护其盈利能力。在这个充满挑战的时期，石油和天然气生产商正在寻找新的内部效率：从长远来看，一家经营比竞争对手更精简的公司更有可能获得竞争优势。
解决方案
为了实现财务报告和流程的自动化，Ultra 选择部署 IBM® Cognos® Disclosure Management。目前，Ultra 使用该解决方案汇总其年度 10-K 和季度 10-Q SEC 报告、其他财务报表、董事会报告、新闻稿和 SOX 流程叙述，并利用自动化 XBRL 标记功能。通过将所有报告都基于相同的源数据（即公司的总帐），Ultra 可以确信所有员工、外部审计师和投资者都在使用相同的数据。

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.
