SINOPEC Standardizes on Intergraph(R) SmartPlant(R) 3D Design and Expands Use
of SmartPlant Enterprise Solutions

Giant Chinese EPC significantly speeds design and improves productivity

HUNTSVILLE, Ala., June 16 /PRNewswire/ -- SINOPEC Engineering Inc. (SEI), one
of the world's leading engineering, procurement and construction (EPC)
companies and a subsidiary of China Petroleum & Chemical Corporation, has
standardized on Intergraph(R) SmartPlant(R) 3D design and engineering software
and expanded its use of the SmartPlant Enterprise solutions suite.

A long-time Intergraph customer, SEI standardized on SmartPlant 3D after
successful completion of an initial pilot project and then a production
assignment designed to test the implementation and integration through
Intergraph's SmartPlant Enterprise solution. This project called for the
integration of multiple engineering disciplines such as process, piping,
structural, instrumentation and electrical and resulted in a substantial
reduction in project duration while providing increased productivity. The
production project also demonstrated that SmartPlant 3D could more efficiently
design and maintain the piping database, layout equipment, instruments,
structure and cable trays.

SmartPlant Enterprise is an integrated solutions suite that provides design,
construction, materials and engineering data management capabilities needed
for the creation, safe operation and maintenance and capital Plant Lifecycle
Management (cPLM) of large-scale process, power, marine and offshore projects.
The solution's life cycle data management also enables a smoother handover for
EPCs to owner operators and for owner operators to more easily operate,
maintain, refurbish or modify their plants.

Intergraph's SmartPlant 3D is the industry's only next-generation 3D design
system for the process, marine and power industries. It is the most
productive, highest quality, multi-discipline 3D modeling environment in the
world for global multi-office execution of projects. SmartPlant 3D can deliver
substantial productivity savings in key plant design disciplines compared to
conventional software - and even more when it is integrated using the
SmartPlant Enterprise solutions suite as SEI now is doing. In addition,
SmartPlant 3D can cut the time taken to check P&ID consistency and accuracy
between the 2D schematic model and 3D digital plant model by more than 90
percent.

SEI also has adopted other SmartPlant Enterprise solutions including
SmartPlant Materials, SmartPlant Instrumentation, SmartPlant P&ID and
SmartPlant Foundation, which have enhanced the synergy among the project
processes to help them provide high quality services to their clients.

"We expect Intergraph's SmartPlant Enterprise and SmartPlant 3D design
solutions to play an important role in our engineering design and construction
projects," said Sun Lili, vice president and chief information officer for
SEI. "As we move forward, Intergraph's industry-leading software will continue
to power our innovations and help us solve new challenges."

Gerhard Sallinger, Intergraph Process, Power & Marine president, said, "SEI is
a leader in China, and this relationship is very important to us. Their
decision to standardize on our next-generation design solution and expand use
of SmartPlant Enterprise solutions further reinforces Intergraph's overall
industry leadership and is another example of the value productivity and
competitive edge that Intergraph brings its customers."

The ARC Advisory Group, a leading industry analyst firm, ranked Intergraph the
No. 1 overall engineering design 3D software and process engineering tools
(PET) provider worldwide and in Asia according to its PET Worldwide Outlook
Market Analysis and Forecast through 2013.
