Eni’s Implementation of a Project Management
Information System for the Goliat Project
ECIM’2009 Conference - September 14-16, Rica Maritim Hotel, Haugesund
Marco Piantanida, Eni E&P Bernardo Principato, Eni Norge Gioacchino Gaudioso, Project Objects
The paper will describe the implementation of a sophisticated
Information Management System
aimed at supporting the processes
related to
project planning & control, interface management and
change management
for the Goliat project, operated by Eni Norge.
The system has been developed on top of Eni’s Project Management
System, named
SIGEP
, and it has been configured to fit the internal
workflows and procedures that have been designed for the
Goliat
project
.
The system provides a framework where all project information
(schedule, progress, costs, changes, interface issues, etc) can be cross
referenced with each other, as well as to the main project control
structures (Work Breakdown Structure, Product Breakdown
Structure), therefore enforcing a consistent view of the project status
from different perspectives. Moreover, the integrations of the system
with
SAP
,
Primavera
and the
Intergraph
engineering database will be
described.

Eni Norge Company Profile
Eni Norge has been part of the Norwegian petroleum industry
since the start in 1965. Safe operations with minimum impact
on the environment, creating value for society and our
owners, are our goal. The dedicated and highly skilled people
in our organization are the most important tool in achieving
it.
An active policy of searching for new resources while

Outline of the Presentation
The Goliat Project
The Goliat Project Management System
Cross-referenced Database for all Project Data
Streamlined Information Exchange with Contractors
Based on Eni’s Standard Environment:
SIGEP
Supported Data:
–
Planning & Control
–
Interface & Change
The Goliat Project
The Goliat field is located in Production License 229 and 229B.
The discovery was made in 2000 with the first exploration well. A
total of five wells have now been drilled.
The licensees are Eni Norge AS (operator, 65%) and StatoilHydro
Petroleum AS (35%).
The Goliat Project
The Goliat field is expected to be in production for at least 15 years.
A total of 22 wells are planned to be drilled into the Goliat reservoirs.

Distinctive Characteristics
Multiple Breakdown Structures
, which can be linked with each other
PBS (Product Breakdown Structures), WBS (Work Breakdown Structure),
CBS (Cost Breakdown Structures)
Importable from Library Templates vs. Import respectively from
Intergraph Smart Plant Foundation, Primavera / MS Project, SAP
Control Elements
(Progress Elements, Cost Elements) can be linked
to the Schedule – Phasing of Forecasts can be automatic or manual
Every Element
in the Project (Technical Queries, Interface Issues,
Permission not to Conform, Changes, Actions, Trends, Risks,
Documents, etc) can be
linked
to any Breakdown Structure

Eni Norge seamlessly integrates
the Information at Project level
to perform Project Monitoring, Control and Reporting.
Views across different Breakdown Structures
are automatically kept consistent with each other.
Each Contractor updates
his own Work Package
with monthly Information about

Main Goal
1. Guarantee Internal Consistency - Project Control
A
Cost Element
linked to a
WBS Element
automatically
inherits the Begin-End dates of
the Activity.
The Budget and Forecast Cost
Phasing
are accordingly
displayed.
If the activity is
delayed
within the
project plan, the phasing of the cost is
automatically updated.
See the difference between the blue
curve (
original
plan) and the green curve
(
updated
plan) for the cost phasing.
Main Goal
1. Guarantee Internal Consistency - Project Control
The link between TQ, Interface Issues and Changes to both
project elements and plant components will allow to build
queries:
from the project management perspective (e.g. which is the WBS code
which is currently most affected by changes?)
from the engineering perspective (e.g. which is the plant component which
is being raised more TQs against?)

Interfaces, Changes, Deviations and Technical Queries can be
referenced
to the corresponding elements in the PBS, CBS and WBS, ensuring full consistency
across project, interface and change management views.
The Management of each element can be configured with a Workflow of any
complexity, including Approval steps, email notification and target response dates.
