Intergraph and Skire announce new customer signing of INPEX Ichthys LNG project
Intergraph, the leading global provider of enterprise engineering software, and its partner, Skire, have entered into an agreement with INPEX for the purchase of Skire's Unifier(TM) solution for the Ichthys LNG project. INPEX selected Unifier as the mega-project's cost control system after a formal call for tender based upon its powerful purpose-built capabilities, proven track record in the global oil and gas industry, and ability to integrate with SAP.
The Ichthys LNG Project is a joint venture between INPEX (76%, the operator) and Total (24%). Gas from the Ichthys Field, in the Browse Basin approximately 200 kilometers offshore of Western Australia, will undergo preliminary processing offshore to remove water and extract condensate. The gas will then be exported to onshore processing facilities in Darwin via an 889-kilometer subsea pipeline. The Ichthys Project is expected to produce 8.4 million tonnes of LNG and 1.6 million tonnes of LPG per annum, along with approximately 100,000 barrels of condensate per day at peak.
The Ichthys LNG project will need to develop, negotiate, award and subsequently administer a significant number of very large contracts during its execution phases. Major EPC contracts and work packages require a robust system for contracts and procurement planning and milestone management, contracts administration and contractual document management, claims management, variations and change control, project controls for cost and schedule management, and performance reporting. Given the scale of the operation, the Ichthys LNG project identified the need for a robust and "fit-for-purpose" software solution to contribute to effective project management, project controls, and procurement and contracting to support proactive decision-making.
Greg Rohde, Intergraph Process, Power & Marine vice president of Australia and New Zealand, said, "Intergraph and Skire will work together to support INPEX on this large-scale, world-class project, enabling increased safety, quality and productivity of the Ichthys project."
"We are thrilled to be part of this major energy effort in the booming Australian region," said Sateez Kadivar, vice president, business operations and corporate development at Skire. "The sheer size and volume of the engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) contracts on this type of project make project controls virtually impossible without a centralized system driving standardization, proactive management and visibility. Skire Unifier fills the gap between CAD and ERP systems, and the INPEX contract award is further validation of the Skire-Intergraph-SAP combination as the industry standard for the global oil and gas industry."
