UNDERSTANDING THIS FILE
This file represents a "flat" Excel-based version of the PCF. It includes a number of worksheets intended to
communicate the various aspects of the framework necessary to interpret it and make full use of its inten
capabilities.

These pages illustrate the configuration of this file. If you have further questions, please contact APQC dir
on pcf_feedback@apqc.org or +1-713-681-4020.

PCF ID is the unique identifier assigned to the specific element on each row. The PCF ID is used througho
APQC's open standards benchmarking as a way to relate measures, questions, and other materials back t
specific parts of the PCF. The PCF ID for a process element is aligned to the specific concept identified by
process element. It will be consistent across releases as long as the conceptual meaning does not change

Hierarchy ID is the human-readable index number corresponding to this specific process element on eac
row. This number will not be consistent across releases - meaning that a process element may have a diff
hierarchy ID among a set of releases.

Difference index is a score identifying the volume of changes to this process element across releases. T
score is only computed when a specific release is compared to another specific release. The difference ind
encapsulates the changes among all of the process element's descendents, not just the immediate childr
The greater the number, the more significant the changes between the two releases.

Change details is a sentence explaning the differences in the immediate child-level descendents of the
specific process element. A "plus" symbol ("+") before a number indicates that the specific process elem
was added since the last release. A "minus" symbol ("-") before a number indicates that the specific proce
element was removed since the last release. If the process element was renamed, the sentence will inclu
phrase "RENAME, WAS:" followed by the name previously used by the process element. A new element is
identified by the word "NEW". A "c" before a number indicates that the specific process element changed
the compared release; it saw elements added, removed, the name changed, or some combination of thos
three operations.

Metrics available indicates whether or not metrics are available in APQC's Open Standards Benchmarki
library for this specific process element. For more information, please visit http://www.apqc.org/osb

EXAMPLE
In the above image, one can discern that a new process element "8.0 Manage Financial Resources" (170
was added to the framework. This new element was added to the file. This new element contains a num
previously used elements, including a significant change to one of its immediate children, 10731, which
present in the previous release, but under a different parent. Also category 11 saw relatively few change
(difference index = 2) while category 12 saw the most changes (difference index = 121). Develop and
manage human capital had a number of changes to its immediate children (see the change details) but
structure overall remains very simlar (difference index = 50).

Establishing a direction and vision for an organization. This involves
defining the business concept and long-term vision, as well as
developing the business strategy and managing strategic initiatives.
Processes in this category focus on creating a vision, a mission, and
strategic objectives, and culminate in creating measures to ensure
that the organization is moving in the desired direction.

Creating a conceptual framework of the organization's business


activity and strategic vision with long-term applicability. Scout the
organization's internal capabilities, as well as the customer's needs
and desires, to identify a fit that can be used to advance a conceptual
structure of the organization's business activity. Conduct analysis in
light of relevant externalities and large-scale shifts in the market
landscape.

Assessing all forces, entities, and systems that are external to an


organization but can affect its operation. Analyze far-reaching currents
in the macroeconomic situation, assess the competition, evaluate
technological changes, and identify societal as well as ecological
issues of concern. Create a big-picture understanding of externalities,
with sufficient depth across individual aspects.
Identifying your competitors, their service and/or product. Evaluating
competitors strategies to determine their strengths and weaknesses
relative to those of your own product or service.

in the organizational value-chain. In the larger economic ecosystem,
analyze according to geographical distribution where factors such as
interest rates, taxation structures, oil prices, and unemployment rates
are explored.

Identifying areas of concern pertaining to public policy and regulation,


established by sovereign or multinational authorities. Examine various
regions and geopolitical formations to identify those political and
regulatory issues-present or developing-that can potentially affect the
organization. Plan for an iterative process, partitioned across regional
and geopolitical entities that have a direct bearing on the
organization's activities. Assess changes in environmental
compliance, product standards, trade barriers, etc.

Lead time for development can be decades from when a resource is


located until an asset is brought onto production.

Developing surface and subsurface facilities to enable the extraction
of the hydrocarbons. These were discovered in the process group
Appraise Asset [13019]. Submit appropriate regulatory reports and
handover the designs to the production team. The development of a
surface facility includes the design and development of a field
collection system as connections between well heads, surface treating
facilities, and points of transfer from field to larger collection lines
(either onshore or offshore) are required. (These are pipelines within
the field.) Developing the subsurface includes designing and
constructing a well.

This is permission to put a pipeline in place as opposed to permission


to actually operate the pipeline. (This is particularly prevalent in North
America).
Once the pipeline is installed and tested, reulatory bodies need to
provide a permit granting permission to use the pipeline.
Initiating and establishing a strategy to ready asset for production and
sale. Establish an asset depletion strategy, followed by the actual
operation of the asset according to the defined strategy/plan and
measuring the production of oil, gas, and water (bbls of oil and cubic
meters of gas, as well as composition) to determine its economic
value. Regulatory reports are submitted and the hydrocarbons are
then produced for sale. (This is the step between field production
and midstream processing where the hydrocarbons are transported
through automated custody transfer system to processing plant,
pipeline or tanker transport.)

Evaluate asset vs other assets in portfolio. Assets are not equal - what
works in one field may not work on other assets nor produce the same
rate of return. Constant analysis of the portfolio to highgrade assets
gets the most from deployed capital and allows for the disposal of less
profitable assets.
bbls of oil and cubic meters of gas, as well as composition are
measured to determine the economic value.

To account for the hydrocarbon produced it's chemical composition is
used as a basis for determining the economic value. It must satisfy
government, joint venture and other stakeholder requirements
including transparency and traceability as this is the economic engine
of an E&P company and forms the basis for reservoir management.

Measure bbls of oil and cubic meter of gas per well or operating unit
(including produced and injected water and/or gas) to establish the
production and mass balance in reservoir. Forms the basis for
nominations, production levels, tanker scheduling, truck pickup,
pipeline nomination, processing plant operation, loading operations,
etc. This happens in the field
Measure produced and injected water and/or gas to establish mass
balance in reservoir for reservoir management. This happens in the

Measure gas used for power production or flared. Flared means you
have smokestack in which you burn oil or gas as a means of disposal.
The other alternative is to re-inject the gas into the reservoir

The volume of the hydrocarbon (including measurement of


temperature, pressure) as well as composition used to determine the

Reporting on the transport to and from field site. This includes
quantities and composition of chemicals used. This is a task required
by a myriad of governmental bodies. Each of the regulators has record
keeping and reporting requirements that differ according to country,
province, and state, even locally. This is part of the public's right-to-
know what is going through and being used in their community.

Assessing the value of continuing production from a resource such as


exploratory wells, development wells, and platforms. This may result
in finding that it is not economic to maintain the asset and meet
minimum ROI levels of the company. Evaluate options for disposal of
subsurface and surface assets and/or infrastructure, the cost of
maintaining an asset vs disposing of it is evaluated, as well as the risk
of continued operation vs risk of abandonment. An exit strategy is
developed and the asset is sold, traded, or abandoned. Regulatory
reports for plug and abandon (P&A), site remediation for approval, and
release of bond for the site are submitted. Abandonment requires a
plan, regulatory approvals, funding, long-term monitoring, and
reporting.

Assets including exploratory wells, development wells, platforms all


have a limited lifetime. Production from a resource may result in it not
being economic to maintain the asset and meet minimum ROI levels
of the company so the options for disposal of the assets must be
evaluated. The cost of maintaining an asset vs disposing of it must be
evaluated, as well as the risk of continued operation vs risk of
abandonment.
