8. OVERVIEW
• Republic of Chad & Caracal Energy
• Caracals Portfolio of Projects
• Drivers for P6

9. Republic of Chad
■ International
■ Republic of Chad
■ GDP double – within 5yrs????
■ Pipelines, facilities, roads, wells, storage…
■ Building from ground up

10. Caracal Energy

11. Caracals Project Portfolio
■ Annual spend over $800MM
■ Drill 35 – 45 Exploration wells
■ 7 Oil Fields on production by 2018
■ 500 Km Pipeline across Southern
Chad

12. Drivers for P6
■ One Plan – Multiple views
■ Global access
■ Visualize Progress & Cost
■ Scalable
▪ Logistics forecasts
▪ Resource loading
▪ Scenario analysis
■ Maximise Automation /
Minimise customization
■ Ability to attribute Activities,
Projects, groups of Projects
■ Single Instance – Chad /
Calgary Access
■ Scalable for future
▪ Costs to Activities
▪ Resources – Rigs, Trucks
▪ Resources – People / Roles
■ Emerald Expertize
■ Emerald tool kit
■ Integration using Middle-ware
Data warehouse / Cube
Caracals Challenges P6 & Emerald Ability

13. CHALLENGES
• Project magnitude
• Complex Logistics
• Global Telecoms & Infrastructure

14. Project Magnitude
■ Caracal 2014 Project Portfolio includes:
▪ 32 Projects, Over 30 Wells / 3 Rigs
▪ 200 assets,
▪ 4,000 activities,
▪ more than 10,000 cost accounts
■ 2015 adds 40 Projects, 35 – 45 wells / 7 Rigs
DRILL RIG 158
MANGARA PRODUCTION FACILITY

15. Complex Logistics
Ocean Freight to
Cameroon
From 6 to 8 weeks
Inland
Transportation
Around 5 weeks

16. Global Telecomms & Infrastructure
■ Satellite communications to N’Djamena, Chad
■ ‘Local’ satellite ‘hops’ to field work sites and to Rigs
■ Limited Bandwidth
▪ Everybody has ‘Developed world’ expectations
■ Regular Power cuts / IT impact
▪ Data integrity; Server management

17. Solution: STANDARDIZATION
• Project Type
• Templates by Asset
• Consistent Structure
• Reporting

18. STANDARDIZATION: Project & Asset Type

19. STANDARDIZATION: Templates by Asset
■ Asset = Template = P6 Project
Example: Infrastructure, Wells, Facilities, Pipeline,
General Services, etc.
■ Concept:
■ Level 2.5 or 3 Schedule
■ High level of attributes for Reporting
■ Assign GL Codes to Activities for Cost
mapping
■ Use Steps for more detail / less than a
Month duration activity
■ Level 4 / 5 Activities can be added but
do not carry any cost data

20. STANDARDIZATION: Consistent Structure
■ What we did
▪ Corporate Hierarchy – PSC / BLOCK / FIELD / PROJECT
▪ Project codes, Activity, Activity Codes, UDFs
▪ WBS – phases
▪ Tasks – Codes, UDFs, responsibility, steps, roles
■ What we got
▪ Organization
▪ Reporting at multiple levels
▪ Usability
▪ Consistency
▪ Quality

21. STANDARDIZATION: Reporting
■ Project Reports: WELL
■ Functional Reports: RIG MOBILIZATION & DRILLING

22. Solution: COST INTEGRATION
• Budget / Spending Plan
• Actuals and Field Estimates

23. COST INTEGRATION: Budget / Spending Plan
■ Budget Built to Reflect Projects / Cost
Centers
■ Emerald P6 Loader allows us to quickly
load and reload thousands of data points
from the Capital Report (a spreadsheet)
into P6.

24. COST INTEGRATION: Budget / Spending Plan
■ AFE Estimates, GL Codes and GL Code
Estimated Costs Pushed onto Activity
■ Actual Costs pushed to AFE / GL code
■ Middleware Data Cube used to map, collate and
provide a structured view for Emerald Tool to
distribute costs on Activities

25. COST INTEGRATION: Actuals & Field Estimates
■ Emerald technical staff has created several add-ons tools,
such as Cost Elector which determine the Actual Cost based
on the field estimate cost, accounting cost (ITD) and last
updated date.
