  1. Pipeline Division Managers Presentation Adam Clinton Sean Diamond Yannis Sideris Jay SlaughterWesley Terrell Chen Zhang Technology and pipeline maintenance

  2. GIS • Spatial data management which stores, analyzes, and displays spatial data • Tracks pipeline flow and links with topographical data • Total cost - $600,000 capital; $300,000 annual maintenance

  3. EDAS & SCADA • Wireless Ethernet with SCADA Package • Ethernet-new standard for data transmission protocol for pipeline technology • Two major components for system • Ethernet Data Acquisition System (EDAS) • Wireless Connection

  4. EDAS & SCADA • Costs • Annual Total per compressor station - $26,000 • Maintenance cost - $10,000 • Advantages • Provides real time information • Reduction in error/ manpower • Replaces time consuming process • Develops proactive PM program • Lowers costly down time

  5. B2B Extranet Technology • Advantages • Brings disparate parties together in a seamless virtual corporation • Uses the Internet as the primary mode of delivering data (free, pre-existing international infrastructure) • Reduces the cost of conducting business long-term • Provides real-time communications concerning the state of global energy markets and the opportunity to actively participate in those markets • Access “anywhere and anytime”

  6. B2B Extranet Technology • Disadvantages • Many third-world nations have little to no Internet infrastructure • Security in foreign nations is sub-standard • High initial investment of capital and labor • Requires stakeholders (internal and external) to deviate from traditional ways of doing business

  7. Electronic Bulletin Boards (EBBs) • Online market place for pipeline and storage capacity • Advantages • Provides limitless access to customers • Allows you to market capacity without the sales force • Very cost effective

  8. System Overview

  9. SAP System Optimization • Advantages • Seamless interface between different business units • Significant cost savings due to reduction in workforce • Significant cost savings due to elimination of data processing

  10. SAP System Optimization • Disadvantages • Sizable up front investment • $1.5 million • Lengthy set up time • 1-2 years

  11. Recommendation • All of the technologies outlined would provide a competitive advantage • Implement in order: • Wireless Ethernet • GIS • B2B Extranet • EBBs • SAP • Fairly quick turnaround and good return on investment with short payback period
