Houston, TX -- March 06, 2007 -- Entessa Press Release
Entessa, Inc., a leading supplier of supply chain management solutions to the Oil & Gas industry, is announcing a major upgrade to the marine modules of its Synthesis™ enterprise software suite. Synthesis™ is the leading application for logistics management in the Oil & Gas industry and has recently been selected by major pipeline and terminal operators to manage their oil & gas logistics operations.
“Current trends have logistics providers around the world placing a renewed emphasis on their marine assets. With demand for hydrocarbons increasing, our customers are seeing crude oil, refined products and LNG vessel movements and storage on the rise and are consequently placing an increased importance on their marine assets” said Brian Freed, the Managing Director of Entessa. This additional focus on marine terminals and vessels by the Oil & Gas industry was the underlying reason for Entessa undertaking this major upgrade of its Synthesis™ marine modules.
Synthesis™ for Marine is currently used by some of the world’s largest Oil & Gas marine terminal operators to help them realize increased efficiencies by integrating their marine terminal operations with their transportation scheduling and production planning operations. This close tie with the downstream and upstream functions ensures a seamless transfer of information that ensures all participants in the supply chain are working with the same set of complete and timely information. The resulting improvements in planning, scheduling and operational efficiencies create measurable positive impacts to the bottom line.
Planned upgrades include:
- Increasing the integration with existing refining systems so that Synthesis becomes a more integral part the refinery’s production planning process
- Improvements to loss control monitoring and reporting
- Generating operational instructions & E&P blending instructions for marine facilities
- Application touch points to enable closer collaboration with external users such as customers, agencies and inspectors
- Key marine performance metrics
- Tracking and reporting of dock utilization
- Improvements to dock dashboard
- Other features and usability enhancements
Entessa anticipates several implementations of its marine functionality in 2007 as it continues to provide value-add functionality to its Synthesis™ application suite.
