Collaboration is Key
In today’s business, it is no longer a single large organization that owns the complete lifecycle of a producing asset.
Oil and gas companies and their partners need to collaborate. As multiple companies partner on projects, both
historical and current data needs to be readily available to all partners.• Geologists and engineers spend between 30%
to 50% of their time mining through disparate repositories and files trying to locate data.
• 77% of energy-sector employees are third-party employees.
Oil and gas companies and their suppliers need to collaborate. Data needs to be shared to and from service
companies all along the supply chain.
When different organizations use and update common systems, stronger security is imperative.
“It is estimated that engineers alone spend almost 10 million people-hours a year searching for information, which equals an average net loss of $485 million for the industry.”Source: Next Generation of Oil & Gas
