CF Industries: Real-time Efficiency −
Using Innovative Data Collection Techniques
and the Right KPIs to Drive Excellence
Bryan Pigg – Network Supervisor, CF Industries
The convergence of IT and OT is impacting
all of us – people struggling with old tools
or adjusting to new ones can get stuck on a
“decision making treadmill.” Efficiency is
elusive as data is over-collected but under
utilized. How can you provide solutions to
capture the data you need, enable
real-time decision making, and give
management the visibility they demand?
CF Industries will discuss how to identify the KPIs that
drive business, use innovative data collection techniques
to enable real-time decision making, and make efficiency
everybody’s business.
ROOM: 320 A/B	 Sponsored by Covisint
Chevron: Increasing Agility and Eliminating
the Security Risks of Contractor Access to
Mission Critical Data
Ravi Malla – Upstream Workflow Transformation Program
Manager, Chevron
Chevron Exploration and Production, like
many other oil and gas companies, faced
a big operation and security problem –
how to simply and quickly provide users in
the field with secure access to critical
company data when most of those users
are not Chevron employees.
Chevron, like much of the oil and
gas industry, utilizes contractors for mission critical
maintenance and repair activities in the field. Since, on
average, 77% of oil and gas personnel are contractors, this
presents a significant user management problem.
So how did Chevron solve their user management and
security problem and provide additional agility into their
user management operations?
In this session, Chevron’s UWT Program Manager, Ravi
Malla will explain how the company is working with
COVISINT to implement the solution to contractor access
and identity management for mission critical systems.
ROOM: 320 C	 Sponsored by Gimmal
Transocean: Driving Global Rig Documentation
Management for the Enterprise
Tony Borst – Director of IT Application Services, Transocean
Decentralized content spread across
multiple business applications and
document management systems made it
difficult and inefficient to connect people,
processes, and content. For example, rig
workers pulling documentation from
multiple sources to perform maintenance
resulted in wasted time, reduced
effectiveness, and higher costs.
As a result, Transocean began a project to align their
numerous document management solutions and business
applications to support the operation, collaboration, and
management of 70-plus globally-dispersed offshore,
deepwater drilling rigs and their supporting onshore offices.
Attend this session to hear how the new “full service”
RigDocs Commercial Content Management System has
increased efficiency and reduced costs by providing a
central location for documents across the enterprise.

Nalco Champion: Driving Value in
Energy Extraction with Real-time
Information Management
John Schlitt – General Manager Automation Center of
Excellence, Energy Services, Nalco
Nalco wanted to improve the efficiency of
chemical usage and dispersion to improve
the quality of water used in energy extraction
and production. To solve these issues, Nalco
implemented commercial off-the-shelf
technologies to manage information and
assets remotely. Nalco’s Refined Knowledge®
solution, combined with Rockwell
Automation’s programmable automation
controllers and Microsoft SharePoint, uses the internet to allow
assets such as cooling and heating water equipment to operate
more efficiently with longer life and improved thermal transfer
characteristics reducing life cycle costs.
Join this session to learn how these same concepts can be
applied to improve the delivery and treatment of water used
in production to help improve environmental standards.
ROOM: 310 C	 Sponsored by Catapult
Plains All American Pipeline: Implementing an
Engineering Project Controls Management System
Michael E. Cartwright – Engineering, Manager of Process
Control, Plains All American Pipeline
Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. (PAALP)
owns approximately 18,000 miles of
pipelines throughout the US and Canada,
operates a fleet of 582 trailers, 104 barges,
and 51 transport tugs, and owns storage
capacity of at least 23 million barrels. In
order to remain compliant with DoT,
OSHA and other regulatory agency
requirements, Plains All American Pipeline,
must maintain complete and proper records for its
pipelines and facilities and be able to quickly produce
documentation during an audit. In addition, the company
continues to invest in capital expansion projects and
programs with a higher degree of complexity, increased
regulatory scrutiny, continued focus on cost/risk
management and a lower tolerance for delays.
Given the complexity of their business, Plains All American
Pipeline implemented an Engineering Project Controls
Management System (EPCMS), which includes a full-
lifecycle Electronic Document Management System that
aligns to PAALP’s defined business process throughout all
stages of PAALP capital projects.
Attend this session to learn how Plains All American Pipeline
used this new system to increase operating efficiency.

The Williams Companies: The Journey
To Self-Service BI
Eric Vogelpohl – Senior IT Manager, The Williams Companies
Like many companies in the energy
industry, The Williams Companies’ IT
department found itself supporting a
variety of Business Intelligence (BI)
packages. This required IT to staff a variety
of skill sets and forced data into silos by
reporting package, which required IT staff
to spend a large amount of time building
BI. As a result of the time intensity of
building BI, the IT department became a barrier for the
business user to collect needed information.
The Williams Companies realized that their data was an
asset that could be mined to gain business insights, which
would help in optimizing operations and reducing costs.
The key was for IT to standardize on the Microsoft BI stack
to enable self-service BI. This allowed business users to
gather their own reports and reuse the data as needed.
As The Williams Companies completes this transformation,
IT is finding itself less a provider of one-off data projects
and more a provider of data-as-a-service. This change has
allowed IT to focus more on data quality and master data
management. The result is that business users now have
easy access to data, the ability to analyze the data using
everyday productivity tools, and the confidence that their
analysis is based on accurate data.
Join this session to find out how The Williams Companies
were able to put this valuable data in the hands of users.

BreitBurn Energy Partners: Enabling
Business Through a Pragmatic Approach
to Enterprise Information
Mike Dominick – Manager of Systems Integration and
Development, BreitBurn Energy
Upstream oil and gas exploration and
production (E&P) companies face a broad
spectrum of challenges due to the vast
array of complex, data-driven software
required to support the well life cycle.
For BreitBurn Energy, some of these issues
included siloed data and applications,
multiple versions of master data, and
limited scalability and supportability.
As a result, BreitBurn Energy has aligned their ERP
implementation with the build out of an Upstream
Information Architecture, which provides the ability to
centrally manage and present master and transactional
data across the organization. By using industry standard
models (PPDM) and the Microsoft toolset as the foundation
for managing and presenting data, BreitBurn can provide
unified and supportable solutions for managing structured
and unstructured data to help make faster, more informed
business decisions.
Come and hear Mike Dominick discuss how BreitBurn
tackled their ERP challenges with this solution.

McDermott: Managing and Tracking Complex
EPC Projects Using Business Intelligence
Maurice Tayeh – CIO, McDermott
The single biggest challenge of an EPC
project is to execute it on schedule and
within budget. Traditionally, EPC projects
run on single digit profit margins.
Improving project execution by making
data available for decision-makers can
help improve operations and allow them
to take necessary interventions to avoid
cost overruns.
McDermott has been very successful in executing large,
complex EPC projects for its oil and gas clients under very
challenging circumstances. The nature of the business
demands accuracy and oversight, which is made much easier
when the necessary data is available to business users.
As a result, the company implemented PARS (Project
Analytics and Reporting System), a standardized and
centralized project controls reporting system, which draws
information from various systems. PARS is an attempt to
transform and standardize the setup of projects at granular
levels, and it has multiple business, process, data, and
technology components. This system provides ease of
access to project data for meaningful analysis, which can
be used as an indicator of true project health.
Attend this session to find out how McDermott used PARS
to put valuable data right in the hands of its users.

BHP Billiton Petroleum: Building Records
Compliance into an Operational Solution
Mary Jensen – Global Manager, Records & Knowledge
Management, BHP Billiton Petroleum
Successful information management
strategies align with empowering the
business, while keeping information safe
and appropriately managed. This
presentation focuses on how BHP Billiton
Petroleum took the complexity of
complying with records management
policies for unstructured content and
built that into a solution that improved
efficiency and made it easier for the business user to find
relevant information.
Come to this session to hear how BHP Billiton Petroleum
successfully implemented this solution across the value
chain and tailored it to supporting functions for improved
access to critical business information.

Microsoft Services: Defending Against
Modern Cyber Attacks
Nate Morin (L) – Chief Technology Officer for the Microsoft
Services’ CyberSecurity practice, Microsoft Corporation
Patrick Arnold (R) – CyberSecurity General Manager,
Microsoft Services, Microsoft Corporation
Both public sector and
commercial networks
alike are under
increasing threat from
ideological groups,
which commit attacks to
gain notoriety and
embarrass their victims;
criminal syndicates,
which steal monetizable assets such as credit card numbers;
and national governments, which attack networks in order
to gain advantage over potential adversaries and transfer
commercial trade secrets to favored local industries. It is
little wonder that CIOs include security as one of their Top
10 priorities.
Microsoft has a view of attackers that is unparalleled. Since
we are both a product and online service company with
widespread global reach, we are able to bring what we
learn to our customers.
Come and hear Nate Morin, Chief Technology Officer for
the Microsoft Services’ CyberSecurity practice, and Pat
Arnold, GM of CyberSecurity, discuss industry-specific
trends in CyberSecurity and how to improve your security
posture and mitigate attacks utilizing Microsoft Services’
solutions and our team of experts.

Rockwater Energy Solutions: Oil & Gas Start-up
to Scalable Enterprise
Biren Kumar – VP and CIO, Rockwater Energy Solutions
Aggressive growth requires systems that
can keep pace with that growth.
Rockwater came together in summer of
2011, with the combination of four
companies. Growing from a start-up to a
billion in revenue over a 24 month
period, with an increase in employees
from 1400 to 3000 during the same
period, through acquisition of a number
of companies at a very aggressive pace to fill out its
product and geographic offering. The acquired companies
ranged from specialty chemical manufacturing to trucking
to rentals, pit-lining, and more. The legacy companies and
the acquisitions ran a variety of different financial and ERP
packages – none of which could scale past a hundred
users or had the breadth of functionality the company
needed without major customization.
Rockwater was looking for a system to support its diverse
functional needs but still remain agile and flexible
enough to continue to grow with its aggressive plans. The
company needed a platform that allowed for scale, would
drive efficiency, and would become the foundation to
differentiate its product offering.
Attend this session to learn how Rockwater uses Dynamics
AX & CRM to keep pace with their aggressive past and
future growth.

  • 3. 54 Breakout SessionsKeynotes 10:55am ROOM: 310 B Sponsored by OSIsoft CF Industries: Real-time Efficiency − Using Innovative Data Collection Techniques and the Right KPIs to Drive Excellence Bryan Pigg – Network Supervisor, CF Industries The convergence of IT and OT is impacting all of us – people struggling with old tools or adjusting to new ones can get stuck on a “decision making treadmill.” Efficiency is elusive as data is over-collected but under utilized. How can you provide solutions to capture the data you need, enable real-time decision making, and give management the visibility they demand? CF Industries will discuss how to identify the KPIs that drive business, use innovative data collection techniques to enable real-time decision making, and make efficiency everybody’s business. ROOM: 320 A/B Sponsored by Covisint Chevron: Increasing Agility and Eliminating the Security Risks of Contractor Access to Mission Critical Data Ravi Malla – Upstream Workflow Transformation Program Manager, Chevron Chevron Exploration and Production, like many other oil and gas companies, faced a big operation and security problem – how to simply and quickly provide users in the field with secure access to critical company data when most of those users are not Chevron employees. Chevron, like much of the oil and gas industry, utilizes contractors for mission critical maintenance and repair activities in the field. Since, on average, 77% of oil and gas personnel are contractors, this presents a significant user management problem. So how did Chevron solve their user management and security problem and provide additional agility into their user management operations? In this session, Chevron’s UWT Program Manager, Ravi Malla will explain how the company is working with COVISINT to implement the solution to contractor access and identity management for mission critical systems. ROOM: 320 C Sponsored by Gimmal Transocean: Driving Global Rig Documentation Management for the Enterprise Tony Borst – Director of IT Application Services, Transocean Decentralized content spread across multiple business applications and document management systems made it difficult and inefficient to connect people, processes, and content. For example, rig workers pulling documentation from multiple sources to perform maintenance resulted in wasted time, reduced effectiveness, and higher costs. As a result, Transocean began a project to align their numerous document management solutions and business applications to support the operation, collaboration, and management of 70-plus globally-dispersed offshore, deepwater drilling rigs and their supporting onshore offices. Attend this session to hear how the new “full service” RigDocs Commercial Content Management System has increased efficiency and reduced costs by providing a central location for documents across the enterprise. 1:10pm ROOM: 310 B Sponsored by Rockwell Automation Nalco Champion: Driving Value in Energy Extraction with Real-time Information Management John Schlitt – General Manager Automation Center of Excellence, Energy Services, Nalco Nalco wanted to improve the efficiency of chemical usage and dispersion to improve the quality of water used in energy extraction and production. To solve these issues, Nalco implemented commercial off-the-shelf technologies to manage information and assets remotely. Nalco’s Refined Knowledge® solution, combined with Rockwell Automation’s programmable automation controllers and Microsoft SharePoint, uses the internet to allow assets such as cooling and heating water equipment to operate more efficiently with longer life and improved thermal transfer characteristics reducing life cycle costs. Join this session to learn how these same concepts can be applied to improve the delivery and treatment of water used in production to help improve environmental standards. ROOM: 310 C Sponsored by Catapult Plains All American Pipeline: Implementing an Engineering Project Controls Management System Michael E. Cartwright – Engineering, Manager of Process Control, Plains All American Pipeline Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. (PAALP) owns approximately 18,000 miles of pipelines throughout the US and Canada, operates a fleet of 582 trailers, 104 barges, and 51 transport tugs, and owns storage capacity of at least 23 million barrels. In order to remain compliant with DoT, OSHA and other regulatory agency requirements, Plains All American Pipeline, must maintain complete and proper records for its pipelines and facilities and be able to quickly produce documentation during an audit. In addition, the company continues to invest in capital expansion projects and programs with a higher degree of complexity, increased regulatory scrutiny, continued focus on cost/risk management and a lower tolerance for delays. Given the complexity of their business, Plains All American Pipeline implemented an Engineering Project Controls Management System (EPCMS), which includes a full- lifecycle Electronic Document Management System that aligns to PAALP’s defined business process throughout all stages of PAALP capital projects. Attend this session to learn how Plains All American Pipeline used this new system to increase operating efficiency.

Breakout Sessions continued ROOM: 320 A/B Sponsored by WIPRO The Williams Companies: The Journey To Self-Service BI Eric Vogelpohl – Senior IT Manager, The Williams Companies Like many companies in the energy industry, The Williams Companies’ IT department found itself supporting a variety of Business Intelligence (BI) packages. This required IT to staff a variety of skill sets and forced data into silos by reporting package, which required IT staff to spend a large amount of time building BI. As a result of the time intensity of building BI, the IT department became a barrier for the business user to collect needed information. The Williams Companies realized that their data was an asset that could be mined to gain business insights, which would help in optimizing operations and reducing costs. The key was for IT to standardize on the Microsoft BI stack to enable self-service BI. This allowed business users to gather their own reports and reuse the data as needed. As The Williams Companies completes this transformation, IT is finding itself less a provider of one-off data projects and more a provider of data-as-a-service. This change has allowed IT to focus more on data quality and master data management. The result is that business users now have easy access to data, the ability to analyze the data using everyday productivity tools, and the confidence that their analysis is based on accurate data. Join this session to find out how The Williams Companies were able to put this valuable data in the hands of users. ROOM: 320 C Sponsored by Stonebridge BreitBurn Energy Partners: Enabling Business Through a Pragmatic Approach to Enterprise Information Mike Dominick – Manager of Systems Integration and Development, BreitBurn Energy Upstream oil and gas exploration and production (E&P) companies face a broad spectrum of challenges due to the vast array of complex, data-driven software required to support the well life cycle. For BreitBurn Energy, some of these issues included siloed data and applications, multiple versions of master data, and limited scalability and supportability. As a result, BreitBurn Energy has aligned their ERP implementation with the build out of an Upstream Information Architecture, which provides the ability to centrally manage and present master and transactional data across the organization. By using industry standard models (PPDM) and the Microsoft toolset as the foundation for managing and presenting data, BreitBurn can provide unified and supportable solutions for managing structured and unstructured data to help make faster, more informed business decisions. Come and hear Mike Dominick discuss how BreitBurn tackled their ERP challenges with this solution. 3:00pm ROOM: 310 B Sponsored by Infosys McDermott: Managing and Tracking Complex EPC Projects Using Business Intelligence Maurice Tayeh – CIO, McDermott The single biggest challenge of an EPC project is to execute it on schedule and within budget. Traditionally, EPC projects run on single digit profit margins. Improving project execution by making data available for decision-makers can help improve operations and allow them to take necessary interventions to avoid cost overruns. McDermott has been very successful in executing large, complex EPC projects for its oil and gas clients under very challenging circumstances. The nature of the business demands accuracy and oversight, which is made much easier when the necessary data is available to business users. As a result, the company implemented PARS (Project Analytics and Reporting System), a standardized and centralized project controls reporting system, which draws information from various systems. PARS is an attempt to transform and standardize the setup of projects at granular levels, and it has multiple business, process, data, and technology components. This system provides ease of access to project data for meaningful analysis, which can be used as an indicator of true project health. Attend this session to find out how McDermott used PARS to put valuable data right in the hands of its users. ROOM: 310 C Sponsored by Infusion BHP Billiton Petroleum: Building Records Compliance into an Operational Solution Mary Jensen – Global Manager, Records & Knowledge Management, BHP Billiton Petroleum Successful information management strategies align with empowering the business, while keeping information safe and appropriately managed. This presentation focuses on how BHP Billiton Petroleum took the complexity of complying with records management policies for unstructured content and built that into a solution that improved efficiency and made it easier for the business user to find relevant information. Come to this session to hear how BHP Billiton Petroleum successfully implemented this solution across the value chain and tailored it to supporting functions for improved access to critical business information. ROOM: 320 A/B Sponsored by Microsoft Services Microsoft Services: Defending Against Modern Cyber Attacks Nate Morin (L) – Chief Technology Officer for the Microsoft Services’ CyberSecurity practice, Microsoft Corporation Patrick Arnold (R) – CyberSecurity General Manager, Microsoft Services, Microsoft Corporation Both public sector and commercial networks alike are under increasing threat from ideological groups, which commit attacks to gain notoriety and embarrass their victims; criminal syndicates, which steal monetizable assets such as credit card numbers; and national governments, which attack networks in order to gain advantage over potential adversaries and transfer commercial trade secrets to favored local industries. It is little wonder that CIOs include security as one of their Top 10 priorities. Microsoft has a view of attackers that is unparalleled. Since we are both a product and online service company with widespread global reach, we are able to bring what we learn to our customers. Come and hear Nate Morin, Chief Technology Officer for the Microsoft Services’ CyberSecurity practice, and Pat Arnold, GM of CyberSecurity, discuss industry-specific trends in CyberSecurity and how to improve your security posture and mitigate attacks utilizing Microsoft Services’ solutions and our team of experts. ROOM: 320 C Sponsored by Microsoft Dynamics Rockwater Energy Solutions: Oil & Gas Start-up to Scalable Enterprise Biren Kumar – VP and CIO, Rockwater Energy Solutions Aggressive growth requires systems that can keep pace with that growth. Rockwater came together in summer of 2011, with the combination of four companies. Growing from a start-up to a billion in revenue over a 24 month period, with an increase in employees from 1400 to 3000 during the same period, through acquisition of a number of companies at a very aggressive pace to fill out its product and geographic offering. The acquired companies ranged from specialty chemical manufacturing to trucking to rentals, pit-lining, and more. The legacy companies and the acquisitions ran a variety of different financial and ERP packages – none of which could scale past a hundred users or had the breadth of functionality the company needed without major customization. Rockwater was looking for a system to support its diverse functional needs but still remain agile and flexible enough to continue to grow with its aggressive plans. The company needed a platform that allowed for scale, would drive efficiency, and would become the foundation to differentiate its product offering. Attend this session to learn how Rockwater uses Dynamics AX & CRM to keep pace with their aggressive past and future growth. Photo courtesy of CAA Speakers
