Oil, Gas & Petrochemical Solutions

Venturing into new territory.

Oil & Gas Industry

Ventyx understands that market forces drive oil and gas organizations to explore and produce in increasingly remote areas that require vast capital investment.

Exploration & Production: Exploration and production becomes increasingly difficult as time goes on. The reserves found today can only be tapped with vast amounts of capital investment and advanced technologies. It’s also increasingly difficult to find skilled staff in these remote areas to maintain these assets. Recent catastrophic failures have cost some organizations hundreds of millions of dollars and caused significant damage to the environment and corporate reputations. Companies need systems in place to minimize the risk of failure by leveraging preventative maintenance techniques.

Refining: With aging refineries, low investment in new plants, and tightening maintenance budgets, refining operations are in a precarious position. Organizations in the refining industry need systems and techniques that allow them to inspect the condition of assets, assess criticality, and report on budget effectiveness.

Petrochemical: With tightening maintenance budgets, organizations in the chemical industry need systems and techniques that allow them to inspect the condition of assets, assess criticality, and report on budget effectiveness.

Key Oil, Gas & Petrochemical Challenges

Ventyx can help oil & gas organizations address the following challenges:

  • Exploring and producing in remote areas - Oil and gas organizations face unique challenges in maximizing the productivity of their assets and workforce when exploring and extracting product in remote and isolated areas
  • Access to skills and workers - Organizations face the dual threat of an aging distribution infrastructure and a lack of skilled workers
  • Governance, risk and compliance - Maintaining regulatory, service reliability and safety compliance is a constant issue for oil and gas organizations that are heavily regulated
  • Operational efficiency - Maintaining increasingly complex equipment makes it difficult to ensure operational efficiency across the organization
  • Reliability management - Many oil and gas companies are looking to move from reactionary maintenance to preventative approaches to minimize the risk of asset failure
  • Maintaining aged infrastructure - Organizations must continually audit, inspect and monitor the technical condition of aging refining assets to ensure their continuous uptime.

Enterprise Asset Management (EAM)

Maximize the performance of your physical assets over their entire lifecycle, ensuring asset availability and reliability while reducing operational costs and risk.

Ventyx Enterprise Asset Management solutions provide a full, clear view of an organization’s asset infrastructure and the workforce maintaining it. Our capabilities extend beyond traditional production assets. With Ventyx, you can manage multiple asset types and still have one clear view of the entire asset infrastructure. Key benefits include:

  • Improving asset and resource utilization
  • Improving equipment readiness
  • Increasing safety and mitigated risk
  • Reducing asset lifecycle costs
  • Ensuring supply chain availability and visibility
Equipment Reliability

Focus on increasing asset availability through our suite of equipment reliability solutions. Identify the critical-asset functions, failure modes, failure causes and failure consequences to determine the appropriate preventive maintenance strategy to prevent or mitigate failure.

Improving performance while managing costs effectively is dependent on equipment reliability and asset health. Proven maintenance strategies—including preventative and predictive programs, long-term asset management, and the ability to measure a program’s performance—are essential to optimizing asset reliability and operation performance. Key Benefits include:

  • Selection of the most appropriate maintenance strategies by asset type.
  • Reduced asset failure through better prioritization of key issues and work.
  • Optimized maintenance operations through the ranking of key activities.
  • Greater insight into key resourcing challenges, delivering smarter project management.
  • Improved asset reliability from a comprehensive view of asset health and plant operations effectiveness.
Operations Management

Enhance the efficiency, productivity and safety of plant operations by achieving a consistent, organized and integrated approach for all plant-related operational processes.

Managing routine duties in a complex operations environment demands a comprehensive strategy. Ventyx solutions for operations management enable plant operators and maintenance personnel to optimize performance around plant-specific procedures and processes. Key benefits include:

  • Providing a consistent, organized, and integrated approach to activities related to plant operation
  • Reducing the time and costs associated with operation and maintenance activities
  • Promoting and enhancing consistency and compliance with procedures, regulations and best practices
  • Optimizing the access and dissemination of critical information throughout the plant to make better informed decisions
  • Providing better integration of plant operation processes
Mobile Work Management – Asset Service

Improve workforce safety and productivity by delivering critical information to the technicians when they need it to make better informed decisions. Improve governance and reporting by capturing data at the point-of-performance, eliminating time-consuming paperwork and double data entry.

Asset intensive organizations service and operate their assets in the field, where they live. This workforce is often distributed across vast distances, or in remote and dangerous locations, and exposed to volatile conditions. Ventyx solutions provide unique mobile business applications that take asset management and business processes to the work site to automate processes and to safely and efficiently perform inspections, maintenance and repairs.

  • Improving quality, consistency and efficiency of asset-based work
  • Reducing workforce fatigue and improving workforce safety
  • Increasing asset productivity and asset availability
  • Facilitating compliance with asset strategies established and managed in EAM systems
  • Reducing cost of asset maintenance and workforce deployment
  • Providing governance over work processes in the field
  • Improving visibility of assets and workforce
  • Standardizing or policies and processes in the field and across the organization
Parts Management

Identify the optimal holdings of every stock item by analyzing its usage patterns and criticality with our intelligent, predictive software solutions. Or use our intuitive, graphical parts catalog to help you always find the right part, right away.

Understanding parts management and inventory optimization plays an important role in an organization’s success – particularly in relation to mission-critical assets. The challenge is how to best balance inventory levels. Ventyx Parts Management is the most effective way to reduce inventory while protecting against the risk of stock-outs. Key benefits include:

  • Reducing asset down-time by increasing maintenance team efficiency
  • Reducing working capital tied up in inventory
  • Improving the effective management of stock
  • Enabling all parts and service information to be found quickly and easily
  • Providing accurate catalog descriptions and classifications
Asset-Intensive Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP)

Essential industries managing skilled workforces in remote and dangerous locations and capital-intensive commercial operations require specialist Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) solutions focused on the unique challenges faced by essential industries.

Asset intensive industries tend to focus more on the complex plants and equipment they use than the products they produce. Any interruption due to plant or equipment failure can result in lost production that may be unrecoverable. The enterprise asset management components of the ERP software are as important as material requirement planning components for a manufacturing organization. Asset-intensive ERP has been specifically designed to maximize asset productivity and help prevent equipment failure that can lead to lost revenue and safety and environmental risks. Key benefits include:

  • Improving management of human resources and skilled labor
  • More rigorous control of data collection for financial and managerial reporting
  • More effective corporate governance and better transparency
  • A more efficient supply chain that frees up capital tied up in inventory
  • Improving availability of assets and reduced stock-outs of critical items
