SAN FRANCISCO, CA, Jan 12 (MARKET WIRE) --
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.
