After three months of intensive work, IT Green Light team together with our client’s team managed to create, design and implement a high performance monitoring system.
Read the case study to learn how we integrated all existing systems and information available in one single system with the purpose to monitor and control fuel consumption for all our client’s consumers.

Integrated Monitoring System Reduces Internal Fuel Consumption with 12%
for One of the Biggest European Oil & Gas Producers
THE CLIENT
With activities in the Gas & Energy industry, our client is one of the
biggest Oil & Gas producers in Europe. The Exploration and
Production (E&P) division covers our client’s main business segment
and is organized in 10 assets across Romania – 9 onshore and 1
offshore.
THE NEED
Although the E&P division has around 5,000 fuel consumers
(vehicles, compressors, generators etc.) there was no end-to-end fuel
tracking system to manage fuel demand and forecast requirements
for the entire E&P division. Our client chose to work with IT Green
Light to build and implement an integrated fuel monitoring system.
THE OBJECTIVES
Integrate all existing systems and information available in one single system with the purpose to
monitor and control fuel consumption for all E&P fuel consumers;
Install, calibrate and maintain fuel monitoring equipment on devices that do not have such
technologies;
Increase transparency upon fuel consumption across Assets, Business Units, similar types of
equipment, etc;
Reduce fuel consumption through more efficient internal processes and operations;
Support the improvement of budget planning and fuel consumption forecasting
THE APROACH
IT Green Light team began to design and develop the Fanica solution in 2013 and implemented the entire
system in 3 months. The project started with the analysis and definition of the monitoring system. Both teams
- the IT Green Light team together with client’s team - focused all their resources on understanding and
redefining the internal business processes. Thus, based on an efficiency metric defined by IT Green Light, they
identified the exact list of vehicles and devices that needed monitoring systems.
3. “Fanica integrates al our systems into one single solution. It is a smart management tool for monitoring
fuel consumption. Fanica creates the advantage of seeing the big picture as well as the details up to the
smallest fuel user”.
Radu Udrea – Senior Project Manager PACE, Petrom
During the monitoring equipment instalation phase, IT Green Light proved it’s full capacity – in only 3 months
it’s 20 specialists team managed to instal monitoring equipments on all our client’s assets, starting with
drilling platforms and finishing with vehicles, compressors and generators.
RECEIVING PROFESSIONAL COVERAGE AND SUPPORT
The operational phase was divided into two stages.The first stage was focused on knowledge transfer from IT
Green Light’s specialists to our client’s employees, and during the second stage, our team’s main objective was
to reach complete and accurate database information. This is why we created an alert for each exception
found in the system, and almost 100 processes run daily, at the same time, to solve these alerts. So, if at the
begginng of the operational phase there were approximatly 2000 alerts daily, now there are almost 40 alerts
per day, and our next goal is to reach between 10-20 alerts per week.
“Our overall experience is very positive from IT Green Light. From the sales people to the technical group, the
support staff is very professional. They address our questions quickly and are highly responsive to our needs,”
says Radu Ciobanu, Senior Project Manager, PACE, Petrom.
Fanica solution is a mix of knowledges and tehnologies, including design and engineering components,
monitoring equipment, real time communication equipment, as well as state-of-the-art IT equipment for
centralising, analysing and presenting data with a geographical and temporal dynamics.
RESULTS
First result of Fanica was reducing fuel consumption with 12% in the first 3 months, saving the client 15
million Euro from the implementation date in June 2013. Keep in mind that this result was obtained with
the oil production continuously growing.
Real time monitoring of fuel consumption on any E&P Level, in any area; thus, based on the reports from
the system the client knows which equipment is out of range and decide to take corrective measures.
Transparency and a clear perspective over the fuel consumption, budget and costs vehicle, devices and
employee productivity.
4. ABOUT IT GREEN LIGHT

ABOUT FANICA
FANICA is an assembly of tools and technologies – hardware, software and knowledge – designed for
monitoring internal fuel consumption. The system is enabled to completely and objectively monitor fuel
consumption within the organization featuring stock per device and summing up costs per cost center. The
possibility of fuel leakages and over-stocking is significantly reduced trough real-time data analysis. While
considering a large organization, the system is an effective internal tool, allowing fuel-related costs and issue
traceability. Through this process it feeds forward important data for internal monitoring, allowing
improvements and increased efficiency in all monitored areas.
