EPS provides 'best-in-class' petroleum engineering software, IT integration skills, petroleum engineering services and training to achieve breakthroughs in performance and increased value in upstream oil and gas assets. Using intelligent systems, engineers have been able to streamline and automate the production engineering tasks associated with asset management. It is important to note that since no two fields or reservoirs behave exactly alike, there is no standard solution-set that yields optimized production. Some fields already have existing infrastructure consisting of SCADA systems that can be used. Others require a new approach. EPS engineers perform a detailed asset inspection that identifies the problem areas; then they develop well and surface network models that describe optimum results; finally, they implement online systems that monitor and optimize hundreds of critical parameters. The ability to gather and interpret data online as well as implement many of the changes electronically, allows extremely complex tasks to be performed effectively with minimum manpower and expense. We call this approach to sustainable production optimization, Intelligent Asset Management (i-AM). We've been developing the technology and processes to support i-AM for the past three years and have proven its value in three implementations to date.

New York,, NY, United States

The two product service lines that historically have helped maritime companies and self insured employers save millions of dollars has been, 1. Medical Nurse Case Management - where we receive notification of the injury claim within the first 24 hours and the nurse coordinates all the medical care advising our clients on the course of the medical portion of the claim. The benefits resulting in an earlier release to full duty or obtaining medical information early in the claim so that the employer or shipowner can be pre-warned if the injured party cannot go back to work or in the case of a passenger outlining and controlling reasonable rehabilitation costs. 2. On the back end of the claim there is Medical Bill Auditing, this is done by our Med-Check division, by nurses who review medical records, who search for CPT codes errors and look to alleviate any fraud or over exaggeration in medical billing. We audit all medical services of any kind in every state. The plaintiff attorneys in the U.S. along with a small portion of medical providers have been working together to escalate medical damages related to maritime accident claims. The Federal Jones Act and The Federal Long Shore Act does not limit liability awards on maritime claims and therefore it has become an arena for fraud and abuse. The maritime industry can defend against these claims with the proper use of medical cost containment services.
