TORONTO, CANADA, December 23, 2009
/24-7PressRelease/ -- Motiva Enterprise's LLC, a joint venture between Shell and Saudi Refining Inc., established to refine, distribute, and market oil products in the Eastern and Southern US, has selected NRX Global Inc. and Bristlecone to help ensure Operational Readiness, through the consolidation of spare parts data, for the company's Port Arthur refinery expansion project, currently under construction in Port Arthur, Texas.
"We believe that the NRX and Bristlecone Operational Readiness Solution will enhance our ability to ensure the Port Arthur Refinery Expansion Project is ready for commissioning and start-up. We expect to reduce operational risk, downtime, and excessive MRO material costs during this critical early operating phase of the refinery," said Bruce Schiefelbein, Supervisor of Maintenance and Reliability at the Port Arthur Refinery.
The NRX and Bristlecone partnership combines NRX's leading Asset Information Management (AIM) software solution Asset Hub TM with Bristlecone's extensive experience in implementing Operational Readiness solutions for clients in the Oil and Gas Industry. The solution ensures that all asset centric information required from engineering, OEM's, and suppliers is defined, collected, transformed, enriched, and delivered to Motiva Enterprises prior to commissioning and start-up of the Port Arthur Refinery.
"Shell and Saudi Refining have consistently demonstrated a leadership role in adopting new business practices and technologies that improve the readiness and effectiveness of their operations. NRX looks forward to helping Motiva achieve its Operational Readiness goals at the Port Arthur Refinery", said The Honorable Gregory Slayton, President and CEO of NRX Global Inc.
"Motiva has taken a proactive approach to establish a platform for asset information management during the construction phase of the project. Motiva's initiative will pay dividends not only by enabling Operational Readiness, through consolidation of spare parts data, but also on an ongoing basis as a platform for Operational Effectiveness. This should result in lower maintenance costs and fewer disruptions," said Ashok Santhanam, President and CEO of Bristlecone, Inc.
