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.
Abstract
Eni – Company Profile
Eni operates in the oil and gas, electricity generation and sale, petrochemicals, oilfield services construction and engineering industries
Eni is active in more than 70 countries with a staff of about 79,000 employees
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 ensuring optimum production from existing fields creates a firm basis for a continued positive development of our company.

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 CharacteristicsMultiple 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
Consistent and Automatic Reporting from multiple points of view

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

Eni Norge can seamlessly associate eachIssue with the affected Items, therefore
gaining a consistent picture of the Project
Each Contractor can raise Issues(Technical Queries, Interface Issues, Changes)
related to Quality (PBS), Time (WBS) and Cost (CBS).

Main Goal1. 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 isautomatically updated.
See the difference between the blue curve (original plan) and the green curve (updated plan) for the cost phasing.
Main Goal1. Guarantee Internal Consistency - Project Control
delay
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?)

Sample Usage of the Tool for Project ControlExchanging Project Control Data with Contractors
Protected Excel Spreadsheets can be generated for each Contract Holder. They contain all cost data related to the previous Cut-Off Date,
with Actual Costs automatically updated from SAP Data
Sample Usage of the Tool for Project Control Analyzing and Displaying Project Data
Sample Usage of the Tool for Interface and Change Management Browsing the Change Register
Interfaces, Changes, Deviations and Technical Queries can be referencedto 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.
