3 Agenda Business impact of a Turnaround Factors influencing effective turnarounds for process plant Delivering an effective Turnaround

4 BUSINESS IMPACT OF A TURNAROUND

5 What is a Turnaround (TAR)? A planned and scheduled event for conducting all necessary operational, maintenance, and improvement tasks required to enable safe, reliable operation at the desired performance for the next campaign.

6 Jacobs Asset Management Work Process Deliver across complete Asset Life Cycle Strategic through to Retirement Turnarounds Strategic and Opportunity Conceptual Definition (FEED) Detailed Design Construction Start-Up Operation & Maintenance Asset Life Extension Asset Retirement AM Work Process integrated into Engineering Work Process Modules defined for specific activities across phases Driven by Total Lifecycle Cost optimization. Produce Most Product for the Longest Time at the Lowest Cost.

7 Turnarounds have a major impact of downtime The turnaround is one of the major contributors to downtime But getting the turnaround right, will impact on longterm reliability Generic numbers which shall vary by Region, Industry and Company On-Stream Availability = Measure of Production (Profit Opportunity)

8 Lost opportunity from Turnaround For a typical total oil refinery turnaround: $US90million Lost Opportunity + $US30million Turnaround Costs = $US120million Immediate Cost to Business Lost Opportunity for a 15 MMTA refinery >$120Million 1 day of Turnaround = $2-3Million Major incentive to provide resources and management effort Losses for outages outside turnaround can be far greater

9 Different people Different needs Head Office Executive s view: Is it really necessary? Will it affect the share price? Can I use this money else where? Plant Manager s view: I have so many other initiatives. Will it distract our Operation? Where will I find the resource? How will I achieve my targets? Turnaround Manager s view: Will the scope fit the budget? Can I find a competent contractor? This is stressful and traumatic! Need alignment

10 Key drivers for turnaround success Safety Duration Cost Key metrics are Safety, shorten Duration & reduce Cost But Quality is fundamental to integrity Quality Defects introduced or retained, within asset, system or process Greatest impact on integrity, reliability, availability and profitability Issues seen many months / years after completion of the TAR

11 FACTORS INFLUENCING EFFECTIVE TURNAROUNDS

12 Factors influencing Turnarounds 3 factors that influence success: People Plant Process Delivering a successful Turnaround requires aligned strategies during Design / Operation / Maintenance Process People Turnaround Success Plant

13 Some example issues influencing 3 factors People Turnaround Success People Technical capability deficit Contractor resources Plant Aging plant management Corrosion Under Insulation Process Integrated Business Strategy Process Plant

14 Technical Capability Issues: Result: Operating companies lost / lack technical competency High dependency on Contractor workforce Ineffective training programs to develop new talent Insufficient management of technical / aging plant issues Potential Improvements: Develop competence improvement for technical staff Targeted use of industry specialist for critical issues Process People Turnaround Success Plant

15 Contractor Resources Issues: Significant resources needed for TAR execution Short duration events Skilled contracting resource-pool shrinking Lack of skills in the market place New build work is more attractive Result: Integrity issues missed or introduced Improvements: Appropriate contracting strategies Make events smaller Process People Turnaround Success Plant

16 Aging Plant Management People Turnaround Success Issues: Many assets exceeded original design life Metallurgical / corrosion / erosion issues Result: Potential hidden failures Unplanned capital replacements Improvements: Understand equipment life Focus inspection plans on failure mechanisms Deploy risk based methodologies Process Plant

17 Corrosion Under Insulation (CUI) People Turnaround Success Issues: Result: Major cause of loss of containment Insufficient scope, planning, time to mitigate Missed opportunity to address plant issues during Turnaround Improvements: CUI Management is possible using structured risk based strategies Conduct pre-shutdown assessments Adequate planning and funding Process Plant

18 Business Strategy People Turnaround Success Issues: Result: Desire for extended cycles Misaligned business process Bow wave of asset replacement Deferred decisions Increased risk profile Short term decision process and inadequate planning resulting in untimely action Improvements: Risk based methodologies to extend cycle times Alignment of Business Process Optimised Investment Decision Support (ODIN) Process Plant
