关于客户
Universal Pegasus International (UPI) has gained a reputation since its formation in 1961 as the world’s foremost off-shore engineering and project management firm, known for its technical expertise in solving engineering problems for clients in the Oil and Gas industry. The company delivers world-class expertise, efficiency and value in project management, engineering and construction management for the energy industry focusing on safety, quality, and ethics in their practices. To remain competitive and drive its quality and safety goals, UPI wanted to enhance its vendor prequalification process, centralize prequalification, and employee safety training functions while cultivating a long-standing safety culture across the organization. The company needed a solution that would reduce its administrative burden and ensure accurate and consistent vetting of contractors and subcontractors.
挑战
UPI’s existing subcontractors were not at par with the accepted compliance standards and their credentials were not thoroughly verified. This left the company’s procurement team in a lot of doubt. Although UPI enjoyed a legacy of serving Oil and Gas clients for decades together, their internal prequalification processes were not foolproof, leading to increased man-hours and operational costs. After careful evaluation, the company discovered that it was not properly vetting its subcontractors. The existing process was largely paper-based and it mandated subcontractors to fill-out basic safety questions through a paper form. The pressure to comply with diverse compliance policies required UPI to stay constantly vigilant to the most stringent requirements in the industry. Additionally, a constant rise in operational costs was also a major concern as pricing was one of the determining factors behind the success or failure of a business proposal. Given this scenario, UPI required an overhaul in the supplier management function. Its leadership team realized that attempting to build their own solution to address these gaps would be an enormous job. After much discussions and careful evaluation of several vendor capabilities, UPI partnered with Avetta.
解决方案
Prior to Avetta coming onboard, UPI maintained contractor records manually, which meant that they spent more time on paperwork than on thinking and implementing ideas for business growth. With Avetta, suppliers were asked to complete a prequalification evaluation with information on safety records. With risk management at the center of Avetta’s solutions, it was ensured that contractors were qualified to safely perform the job for which they were hired. Avetta conducted online training programs for UPI contractors and helped them understand the nitty-gritties of risk management and safety at worksite. Several contractors participated in multiple training sessions, which helped reduce incident rates drastically. Avetta helped integrate its prequalification solution across the board for UPI, enabling information access for all their managers, which led to a very high quality vendor management system. With everything being managed from a single source application and the integration of the whole prequalification process into a single platform simplified UPI’s process of onboarding new contractors. New contractors were made to comply with stringent norms of safety, training, and evaluation – all done via Avetta’s advanced training tool which saw an increase in participation by 300%.

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.
