Streamlining Project Controls for Midstream &
Downstream :The Technology Advantage
Rob Burton, Major Projects Program Manager, TransCanada
Balaji Sreenivasan, Founder/CEO, Aurigo Software
Agenda
 Oil & Gas Industry TODAY
 Technology Play in Upstream Oil Extraction and
Drilling
 Waterfall Effect | Midstream / Downstream
 TransCanada Business Environment
 Technology Selection and Approach
 Saving Money and Time for TransCanada
Oil & Gas Industry TODAY
Supply & Demand - 2015
- Increased supply
- Saudi Arabia equally surprised
- Economic conditions drove
efficiency
- Technology will continue to have
long-term impact on lowering
costs
Energy Prices Crashed
in 2014
Reasons for Price Drop
 Increased efficiency of production
 New sources via fracking, Shale Oil and others
 Made possible with technology
 Disruptive approach from smaller players
Application of Technology Brings Costs Down
The American Energy Renaissance
& The Waterfall Effect
The Waterfall Effect – Focus on
Midstream & Downstream
 Early Stage of American Energy Renaissance primarily in
upstream exploration and production (E&P)
 Technology will continue to lower costs in the midstream and downstream markets, just as it
did for upstream
 The next phase is midstream and downstream, with an increase in expenditure by over
250%*
 Technology will lower capital construction costs for midstream and downstream
 Technology can control and reduce costs of constructing pipelines, storage terminals, and
refineries by up to 6%.
Technology can control and reduce costs of constructing pipelines, storage
terminals, and refineries by up to 6%

Saving Time and Money for
TransCanada
Business Challenges
-Increasingly complex regulatory environment
-Require better data capture, analysis and reporting
capabilities
-Rapid growth to support $45B project portfolio
-Require process workflow to move away from the
“experience” model
-Diverse project structures, processes and systems
-Capital Project Management System in place but not
detailed enough at procedural level
-Require structured guidance for project teams to
improve efficiency and consistency of our project
delivery
Solution: a single, integrated technology system to enable our capital
project processes and procedures
Benefits to TransCanada
⁻ TransCanada is the premier builder and owner of
energy pipelines in North America with pipeline
projects to East, West and South of the US and
Canada
⁻ Estimated investments at about $ 45 BN including
Keystone and Energy East
⁻ Improve quality, reduce costly errors, regulatory
compliance
Thank You
