Military Based Simulation Company, Engineering & Computer Simulations, Offers “Crisis Response Simulation” Training Solutions for Offshore Safety
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Media Contact: Terri Bernhardt (407) 883-5181, teresambernhardt@gmail.com May 6, 2013. Houston, TX. Engineering & Computer Simulations (ECS) announced today they are unveiling their Crisis Response Simulation (CRS) for the first time at the Offshore Technology Conference (OTC) on the showroom floor. Over 80,000 attendees and more than 2,500 exhibitors are expected to attend OTC, and ECS will be the only modeling and simulation company exhibiting. "We are looking forward to showing the Crisis Response Simulation to offshore technology leadership during OTC," stated Waymon Armstrong, President, ECS. "ECS, an award winning company, brings 16 strong years of military simulation experience and has the potential to transform crisis response training. Our CRS is the first in our competency-based products and services line that supports the oil and gas industry." The Crisis Response Simulation, or CRS, is a web-based, critical-thinking tool that immerses corporate senior executives in intense, realistic scenarios. These scenarios cover decisions that impact the preservation of life, the support of affected family members, rig stability, communication and social media, mitigation of legal risks and other obligations that appear in a crisis response situation. Whether it is a well blowout, fire, or an environmental release, CRS is customizable to a broad set of scenarios that represent the current offshore or onshore upstream, mid-stream, and downstream oil and gas industry. "ECS is pleased to leverage the 9+ million dollars of US military and ECS-funded Internal Research and Development investments that have resulted in the Crisis Response Simulation. The robust simulation system builds critical thinking skills for senior level decision makers," explains Armstrong. "The immersive training exercises can be configured rapidly and provides intense, realistic scenario rehearsal and real-time feedback, resulting in effective training for senior level decision makers. We are confident this training system will save money, time and help save lives in situations where there are no second chances." Envisioning the re-use of technology developed for, and in use by the US military, Mr. Armstrong now leads the ECS Commercial Division, focused entirely on non-Government/non Department of Defense initiatives. The Offshore Technology Conference runs May 6–9 at Reliant Park, Houston, Texas. ECS is will be in booth number 11225 on the showroom floor.

ECS and Duco Energy Mix it Up for Oil and Gas Industry Providing Compelling Crisis Response Training FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Media Contact: Terri Bernhardt (407) 883-5181, teresambernhardt@gmail.com May 7, 2013. Houston, TX. Engineering & Computer Simulations (ECS) announced today they have partnered with Duco Energy Services of Conroe, Texas to collaborate and provide a Crisis Response Simulation to the Oil and Gas industry. In search of the perfect partner for this project, ECS landed on DUCO Energy Services, a company serving the oil and gas industry with expertise in drilling, safety and medical. Mr. Tyler Pitzer, CEO, Duco Energy Services has a history of providing superior services and higher quality to his clients. His years of Health, Safety and Environment (HSE) experience, coupled with interaction at the Executive Level of many Fortune 500 Oil and Gas corporations such as Transocean and Noble Energy, made him the ideal choice for ECS. Tapping into 30 years of combined experience, the two companies intend to transform crisis response training. “Careful diligence was placed on who would be the right company to partner with ECS," stated Waymon Armstrong, President, ECS. "At the end of the day, it was Tyler Pitzer and Duco Energy Services that made the perfect fit. Tyler’s experience enables our crisis response solutions to be accurate, intense, and relevant to today’s issues in the Oil & Gas industry. His support as a Subject Matter Expert for the content development has been instrumental, and his company will be facilitating our first exercises using the CRS.” CRS debuted yesterday on the OTC showroom floor at ECS's booth. As a result of this new partnership, the same infrastructure that has trained thousands of first responders for Emergency Management personnel has been adapted to Crisis Response for the offshore industry. ECS debuted the Crisis Response Simulation, or CRS, yesterday at the opening day of the Offshore Technology Conference. CRS provides critical-thinking training and enhancements, across a variety of possible scenarios. Each role player in the scenario is immersed into situations they could expect if a crisis occurs. Each action they take has a consequence that provides varied results to the other role players in the scenario. The CRS exercises often result in decisions to improve communications infrastructures or enhanced corporate policies and Standard Operating Procedures. ECS has the best crisis response leadership training tool on the market," said Tyler Pitzer, President of Duco Energy Services. "I saw an instantaneous benefit to the Oil and Gas industry with ECS' CRS solutions. Having turned over all of the rocks before, I know how this can help the oil and gas industry.
