SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwire - January 12, 2009) - Locus Technologies, the industry leader
in web-based environmental compliance and information management software,
today announced that the Hovensa Refinery in St. Croix, US Virgin Islands
has selected Locus Technologies Environmental Information Management (EIM)
system to streamline managing environmental sampling and remedial
operations data at the refinery.
Hovensa is a joint venture between subsidiaries of Hess Corporation and
Petroleos de Venezuela, S.A. (PDVSA). This refinery is one of the ten
largest in the world and one of the most modern in the United States with a
crude oil processing capacity of 500,000 barrels per day (BPD). Hovensa
operates its facilities on 2,000 acres on the south shore of St. Croix and
receives and processes crude oil from around the world.
After reviewing available options to manage their environmental data,
Hovensa opted for EIM to meet their demanding requirements, which include a
single data repository accessible by all their vendors, regardless of
location. EIM's cloud computing platform was the ideal system to provide
the access desired and the robust data management features to address both
sampling and operations data.
"Locus is excited that Hovensa selected EIM and is using the system to its
fullest," said Locus President, Neno Duplancic. "It's very gratifying
when a customer fully embraces the system and its potential to not only
manage their data but to drive cost savings through data collection and
report automation. Using EIM's flexible interface, Hovensa can streamline
sample planning and data validation using mainland contractors and labs and
produce automated reports of operations status all from the same system,"
said Duplancic.
