Industry Challenges Standards and protocols

Mainly national, company-defined or point-to-point standards

Mainly only after-the-fact results supported

Usually low frequency of data exchange between oil companies or suppliers

Unavailability of process / transaction identifiers

Different message layouts and content

Different transmission technology


Industry ChallengesStandards and protocols

Some oil Majors, Implico and many Software suppliers across the Globe contributed heavily on developing Global standards through the PIDX platform

Not finished yet – but progressing fast

Clear Need: Use of Global Standard protocols

by various types

Project Samples / ExperiencesExample Germany MPKS

After Data exchange of material movements between Oil Companies became more and more important, 1992 the German MPKS Standard was born

This standard was based on punch cards for Mainframe Hosts and had a lot of limitations

Almost all major players are still exchanging data based on this MPKS Standard

2008 IFLEXX was born

Project Samples / ExperiencesGlobal SAP Deployment in Rhine Region: Activities

Go-Live as a “Big Bang” on 1st July 2014 in GER, AUT, LUX

100+ Legacy Systems replaced with SAP, harmonised applications and middleware

Connectivity established to 80 sites (refineries and terminals)

Introduction of new processes impacting Business processes

Project Samples / ExperiencesGlobal SAP Deployment in Rhine Region: Realised Benefits

Increased quality of data due to Synchronised master data

Less manual intervention

Less effort in error handling

Harmonised processes and tools allowing centralization of support activities

Minimised lead-time between Order taking and authorisation to load

Scheduling and execution

Improved execution management due to timely feedback (PIDX)

Increased business flexibility, e.g. cross-border operations

Reduced implementation effort due to harmonised processes and larger footprint (esp. PIDX eBOL)

Cost-efficient use of managed data hubs or clearing houses possible


Project Samples / ExperiencesSummary

Reliable and quick communication becomes more and more important

Most Oil Majors take the same path

Sooner or later, all terminals need to follow modern data communication

International Standards are on it’s way, eg. PIDX

Benefits are out of question

Be prepared to follow the standards!
