A Pipeline To Managing Business
Performance In The Oil & Gas Industry
The Applix white paper entitled A Pipeline to Managing Business
Performance in the Oil & Gas Industry gives an overview of how
analytic applications are used in the Oil & Gas Industry, as well as
the value that they provide. This white paper specifically discusses the
use of Business Performance Management (BPM) and Operational Performance
Management (OPM) across the organization. BPM and OPM are methodologies
used to optimize the execution of business strategy that consists of a
set of integrated, closed-loop, analytic processes, supported by
technology that addresses financial and operational data for better
decision making. Both BPM and OPM enable organizations to be nimble in today's ever
changing global business climate. Read this white paper to find out how
an effective use of performance management software can help your
organization to stay, not only ahead, but efficient, flexible and
ultra-competitive in the marketplace. ( PDF - 90 KB - posted March

Advantages
in the Use of Water-Based Primer
To
meet the restrictions from 2007 in the use of solvent based primer PHOENIX
INTERNATIONAL A/S has developed a water-based primer for bitumen based
coating systems for steel pipes. The development started some years ago
and in 2005 we succeed. The major reason for the need of such a primer is
to reduce or remove the use of solvent based primer due to the impact it
has on health and the environment Over
the years severe problems have been reported for citizens living around or
very close to factories using solvent based primer despite the use of
incinerators to remove fumes containing solvent. Personnel working at the
factories have also been facing heavy impact from the fumes during their
daily shift. For
sure it is possible to reduce the fumes exposed by building up cabins in
which the pipes are then spray-applied with solvent based primers and
afterwards during drying time. However, in an inline coating yard it may
result in difficulties to maintain the continuously coating process - not
to mention the investment in such a system.
