Establishing reliable and accurate data, available in a timely manner is critical to improve E&P operational workflows and performance. This can be done through optimizing the flow of information, and improving the quality of the technical data at all stages of a projects life cycle. In addition, it is key that all parties, both directly and indirectly involved can take advantage of any and all information pertinent to ongoing operations.
Having optimized the flow of data and ensured that the quality of the information can be relied upon, a challenge still lies in how to tie the information into daily decisions made by engineers and management. This presentation is an example of how this was achieved for one of our clients who wanted to improve their control of operations related information, to improve their confidence in making decisions in relation to the production of their fields.
