1 Yokogawa in the Midstream Industry Natural Gas Gathering and Processing CEO Cognitive Enterprise Optimization Yokogawa Delivers Value Chain Excellence

2 Value Chain Excellence... Midstream Natural Gas Gathering and Processing Why Settle for Less CEO Cognitive Enterprise Optimization provided jointly by Yokogawa and esimulation includes comprehensive business and asset management solutions and services for the midstream natural gas gathering and processing industry. These solutions provide midstream executives and managers with the ability to optimize tradeoffs and margin positions across the value chain (gathering, processing, fractionation, supersystems, and enterprise-wide). Midstream: Future of Prediction Midstream companies are challenged with growing their business and with determining the best way to address economic and operational tradeoffs to maximize profitability. The CEO Cognitive Enterprise Optimization TM approach allows midstream executives and managers to: Reduce the uncertainty of predicting future business performance Provide the sensitivity associated with the range of possible outcomes for those items that can t be predicted accurately (prices and volumes) For today: How to optimize business performance?

3 Run Your Business Optimally There are at least six capabilities that all midstream executives should have in place to effectively maximize gross margin positions: 1. Current Gross Margin - It is important to understand, on a near-real time basis, the gross margin value being generated by each component of the business: Inlet Meter, Producer Contracts, Compression, Treating, Gas Plants, Fractionation 2. Sensitivity Analyses - The next step is to fully understand the value associated with incrementing any or all aspects of the business: Adding Volume, Changing Contract Terms, Gas Price Fluctuations, NGL Price Fluctuations, Value of Reducing Losses, etc. Examples: C2 Recovery + 1%, NGL+1 cent, Gas + 10 cents, T&F + 2cents, C2 rec +1 cent 3. What-If Scenario Analyses - Once current business performance is known, what-if scenarios are run to understand and quantify business improvement opportunities. Project Justification, Commercial Opportunity Assessments, Operational Improvement Assessment, New Gas Margin Estimates, Processing Disruption Response 4. Predicting the Future - It is essential to accurately predict future performance given well decline estimates, pricing estimates, and equipment performance capabilities. System Wide Trade Offs Gross Margin Availability - Reliability - Efficiency - Sustainability Performance Management Sensitivty CEO Cognitive Enterprise Optimization TM Variance Unified Enterprise Planning, Budgeting, Rolling Forecasts, etc. given fluctuations in all aspects of the business What-If Predicting The Future 5. Variance Analyses - The ability to examine performance variances between periods instantaneously is a totally new capability for the midstream industry. Imagine being able to compare two gross margin rollups (i.e. actual versus budget) side by side, having each change between the cases identified (analysis to the inlet meter detail), and then the value of each of these deviations quantified - all simultaneously! It allows midstream managers to not only access price and volume impacts, but to dig much deeper into the business to identify aspects of the business that can be improved. 6. Optimization - Optimize business performance given fluctuations in all variables affecting gross margin: System-wide/Value Chain optimization: right gas to right plants, rejection/recovery analyses, constraint management Gas Plant optimization: optimizing energy versus product recovery within a mode, constraint management Armed with these capabilities, midstream executives can be sure that all groups (finance, commercial, operations, engineering, accounting, etc.) are working in a coordinated fashion to maximize shareholder value on a daily basis.

4 CEO Cognitive Enterprise Optimization TM Solutions and Services esimoptimizer esimulation began in 2000 by offering its esimoptimizer rigorous, gas plant optimization solution. The solution bundles innovative, web-based process optimization software with strong chemical engineering services, to maximize asset value under all NGL margin conditions. The solution provides direct operator setpoint guidance every two hours on a web page (SaaS). esimevaluator esimevaluator is used by midstream companies to manage their gross margin positions from wellhead to sales points. esimevaluator is used for what-if scenario analyses, operational performance optimization, budgeting, forecasting, variance analyses, commercial planning, and project justification. Its unique margin analyzer identifies changes between periods and quantifies the impact of those changes on gross margin deltas. OIL AND GAS VOLUME TRACKER The Oil and Gas Volume Tracker captures data from multiple data sources (SCADA, measurement, 3rd party custody transfer meters, etc..), each with its own time horizon, and stores it into a large-scale data warehouse repository. The data is then available for detailed measurement analyses, balances, and loss identification. OPERATOR COMPETENCY IMPROVEMENT The midstream industry is challenged with determining the best way to improve operator competency, and maintain operator competency, for a small number of operators, working in remote locations, and on shifts. esimulation offers its esimtrainer solution and Yokogawa offers dynamic training simulators used in refining and petrochemical applications. MODULAR PROCEDURAL AUTOMATION Modular Procedural Automation combines consulting expertise with world class procedure control capabilities to capture, optimize, and retain, procedural knowledge in a process plant. The solution integrates procedures into the operator interface and alarm system for improved situational awareness. Modular Procedural Automation can be used to automate, or guide operators through, startup and shutdown for gas plants and compression stations. Can also be used to help operators to implement esimoptimizer optimization targets. AUTOMATION PLATFORMS AND SERVICES Yokogawa offers multiple automation and control strategies, architectures, and solutions for every application size and complexity. Our distributed control systems (DCS) - fully scalable for midstream applications - are renowned for their reliability which translates into increased process uptime. Advanced Process Control strategies can serve to stabilize cryogenic processes and help the operator to achieve the esimoptimizer optimization targets. Yokogawa s multivariable control solution is ideal for reducing standard deviation in fractionation trains which results in better product splits and increased production. Yokogawa offers sophisticated SCADA solutions which can be used to manage gathering and supersystem interactions ANALYTICAL Yokogawa is recognized as a world leader in the field of analytical equipment. Yokogawa s chromatograph line is of particular interest for midstream applications. FIELD INSTRUMENTATION Yokogawa field instrument products includes a complete line of flow meters, pressure transmitters, differential pressure transmitters, temperature transmitters, level transmitters, Fieldbus instruments and safety measurement instrumentation. MAIN AUTOMATION CONTRACTOR Yokogawa is particularly adept at implementing large control system projects as the Main Automation Contractor (MAC). The MAC approach was developed in the refining and petrochemical industries whereby the automation supplier provides a complete automation solution - control rooms, wiring, field instruments, control systems, PLC s, analyzers, etc.
