- 4. Introduction » For 150 years, SoCalGas has served Central and Southern California as responsible and engaged environmental leader, employer and neighbor » As the nation's largest natural gas distribution utility, we deliver clean, safe and reliable energy to 21.6 million consumers through 5.9 million meters in more than 500 communities. » Our service territory encompasses approximately 20,000 square miles in diverse terrain throughout Central and Southern California, from Visalia to the Mexican border. » SoCalGas is a regulated subsidiary of Sempra Energy 4
- 5. Motivation and AVEVA Experience » Engineering Information Management » Control of data / Spec driven Engineering & Design » AVEVA projects ▪ Back modeling of existing facility ▪ Regulator Station ▪ Filter replacement » On going major project utilizing cloud infrastructure and AVEVA Integrated Engineering Design 5
- 6. Strategies – Engineering Data Requirement 6 » Data centric requirement – building digital asset ▪ Develop data requirement in addition to traditional engineering deliverables » Setting expectations ▪ Clearly document data requirement and design tool execution plan ▪ Host workshops to communicate and demonstrate data requirement » Specification driving engineering design ▪ Pre-approved specifications ▪ Ownership of design templates and components
- 7. Strategies – Infrastructure & Workflows » Cloud hosted solution ▪ Startup time ▪ Scalability ▪ System performance & stability ▪ Agile deployment on system changes & software update ▪ Streamline onboarding process » Design tool architecture & workflows ▪ Leverage available templates where possible ▪ Import NON AVEVA data from FEED ▪ Define AVEVA deliverables based on function availability and project schedule ▪ Leverage experienced AVEVA admins to do data clean up and systematic updates & imports 7

- 10. Challenges » Unknowns are scary – new ways of thinking for contractors and project managers » Project schedule » Contractors limited knowledge of AVEVA tools » Local resources with AVEVA knowledge » Defining data requirement » Organization changes and resource allocation » Adapting to new workflows and change of mindset to build digital asset 10
- 11. Lessons learned » Continuous communication and make sure Contractors have the same understanding for data requirement » Early start with data requirement and design tool execution plan to be on the same page of project management team » Be flexible of data entry and information creation » Properly estimate AVEVA resource to support projects » AVEVA environment and project startup time » Early infrastructure requirement check 11
- 12. » Use in-progress data for early construction/commissioning team engagement, planning and scoping » Expand data model for next projects/evolve workflows » Improve internal project reporting – KPI’s and progress monitoring – data analytics » Data requirements define scope for contract development » Higher alignment on project outcomes – harmonize teams objectives Opportunities on the Horizon 12
