Pembina Pipeline Corporation, a leading energy transportation and midstream provider, operates pipelines that transport hydrocarbon liquids and natural gas products in North America. It also manages gas gathering and processing facilities, along with oil and natural gas liquids infrastructure and logistics, requiring extensive maintenance across various asset classes.
Initially focused on extracting data to support improved decision-making, Pembina implemented SAP Plant Maintenance and ISO14224 standards 10 years ago to structure master data. The initial goal was broad data integration, which has since evolved to deepen asset data collection. This shift has reduced equipment failures, enhanced nameplate data capture, improved BOM creation, and optimized work schedules through better data management.
With the implementation of SAP Analytics Cloud two years ago, Pembina transitioned from standard SAP reports and Power BI to more advanced analytics, refining their master data standards and driving strategic decisions. This has transformed Pembina’s culture from reactive to proactive, unlocking efficiencies. It continues to grow its data depth, further enhancing asset management.
