Service: Supply Chain
Our Client
A mid-Continent midstream operations that was charged with gathering, processing, storing, and transporting crude oil and natural gas from production fields, particularly jet fuel and JP8 (now JAA) to a key terminal facility
The Challenge
The existing setup relied on complex routing and frequent seasonal reversals in a key pipeline, leading to:
- Capacity constraints on a major pipeline during winter months due to flow reversals.
- Limited butane delivery flexibility.
- Inconsistent supply reliability for inbound butane and outbound Jet and JAA products at the terminal.
- Longer response times due to inefficient routing and dependency on reverse flows.
Real Results Achieved Together
Through upgrades to interconnecting pipelines, tariff structures and enhanced scheduling, EFESO was able to increase supply flexibility and eliminate seasonal reversals, increasing winter capacity as well as implementing a command center to highlight operational efficiencies.

Transformation Impact
- Northern Terminal Modifications: Enabled Jet/JAA receipts from an additional pipeline source, increasing supply flexibility.
- Interconnecting Pipeline Upgrade: Allowed Jet/JAA product to flow directly from the Northern to the Southern Terminal, eliminating seasonal reversals.
- New tariff structures to support the revised flow paths.
- Enhanced Scheduling: Jet/JAA flows directly from the refinery during warmer months.
- In colder months, product flows from the refinery through the Northern Terminal and interconnection to the Southern Terminal.
Our Approach
- Visual Command Center to plan and highlight issues in a much more proactive way
- Implemented critical KPI’s and a user designed process scorecard
- The team mapped the complete value stream / brainstormed solutions with multiple stakeholders and implemented several operational improvements
- Improved supplier reliability and response times
