Industry segmentation through the Carbon Value Chain

z Summary
The New Carbon Value Chain
Carbon Industry Segmentation: Upstream
z Upstream Energy
1. Extraction of natural carbon from
Earths sub-surface
2. Transportation of raw, natural
carbon to facilities where it can be
refined
Examples:
Oil & gas exploration & production
Oil & gas pipelines
Oil tankers
Coal mining
Coal barges & trains
Carbon Industry Segmentation: Midstream
z Midstream Energy
3. Refinement of raw carbon into marketable commodities
4. Transportation of carbon commodities to markets
Examples:
Oil refineries
Petrochemical plants
Natural gas processing plants
Pipelines
Product storage facilities
Natural gas liquefaction plants
Liquefied natural gas (LNG) tankers
Carbon Industry Segmentation: Downstream
z Downstream Energy
5. End-user distribution or consumption
of carbon commodities
a) Fuel to provide heating
b) Fuel to generate electrical power
c) Fuel to transport goods or people
d) Raw material for manufacturing
Examples:
Natural gas distribution companies
Electric power plants
Planes, trains & automobiles
Fertilizer, plastics & pharmaceutical
manufacturing

Complexity of projects

z Summary
Complexity of Oil & Gas Projects as a
Challenge for QMS* Standards
z Many different companies employed for specialized skills
z Resource administration
z Exploration & drilling
z Equipment manufacturing
z Pipeline construction
z Production operations
z Shipping operations
z Geographically extended (global) supply chains
z Long lead times for project completion
z Typically 10-15 years from oil first discovered to commercial
production (sometimes faster for gas-only resources)
z Frequent mergers & acquisitions involving participating companies
* Quality Management System (QMS), possibly including also Safety & Loss Management System (SLMS) and / or Risk Management System (RMS)
Complexity of Oil & Gas Projects

through Independence Trail pipeline
to platform in West Delta 68, where
it divides to separate shore bases

Challenges for unified (holistic) QMS standards
z Summary
Challenges for Unified (Holistic) QMS* Standards
in the Oil & Gas Industries
z Long-Standing Historical Segmentation
z Upstream - Midstream - Downstream
z Gas Industry related to - but not the same as - Oil Industry
z Uneven Globalization
z Regional differences exist both in business practices and in
preferred standards
z Complexity of Large Projects
z Many projects (especially Upstream) are joint ventures
z A single prime contractor usually employs several different sub-
contractors a diverse workforce with various corporate cultures

Value of further harmonization of standards
z Summary
Value of More Harmonized O&G QMS Standards
z Streamline quality assurance during hand-off of raw
carbon or refined carbon commodities
z Reduce variance among QMS standards along the Carbon Value Chain
z Enhance commerce by simplified administration of quality assurance
Example: Getting natural gas to the end-user
Midstream
Upstream Remove impurities & Downstream
Produce gas split liquids
Distribute to
Perform early Perform final metering retail markets
metering Ship to wholesale
markets
Examples of Dominant Influences Regarding Practices:
Minerals Management
Service (MMS) or Federal Energy Regulatory State Public Utility
Bureau of Land Commission (FERC) Commissions (PUCs)
Management (BLM) Gas Processors North American Energy
American Petroleum Association (GPA) Standards Board (NAESB)
Institute (API)

Value of More Harmonized O&G QMS Standards
z Facilitate Emerging & Evolving Interfaces with Other Energy
Industries . . .
z Electric-power generation, transmission & distribution
Nuclear as well as fossil fuels
z Coal mining industry
z Disposal of carbon waste (capture & sequestration)
z Alternative / renewable energy sources (wind, solar, hydro)
z . . . And Their Traditional Sources of Practices . . .
Edison Electric Nuclear Regulatory North American Electric
Institute (EEI) Commission (NRC) Reliability Corporation

Summary
z Oil & Gas Industries Have Made Significant Progress
Toward a Unified Quality Management System (QMS)
z Functional differences between Gas & Oil industries have presented
challenges for a single, comprehensive QMS standard
z ISO/TS 29001 (derived from ISO 9001) initiated in 2003 but not yet
universally adopted
z Additional Value and Effort Remain in Further
Harmonization of Oil & Gas QMS Standards
z A uniform standard adopted along all portions of the Carbon Value
Chain (Upstream Midstream Downstream)
z Additional progress will require collaborations among professional
organizations that traditionally have influenced different portions of
the Carbon Value Chain
ASQ-EED Gas & Oil Committee could serve as
facilitator / catalyst for the industry-wide campaign
