Supporting Innovation throughout the Energy Supply Chain
The Challenges
Recent price spikes in oil and natural gas have been caused by burgeoning worldwide demand and tight production capacities. Prices are likely to remain high, as production and refining assets mature and increasingly stringent environmental regulations come into force, limiting expansion of oil and gas production.
Going Below the Surface
To overcome these challenges, many companies are calling on innovation to keep pace, both in oilfield technology and IT systems and architecture.
In the race to acquire timely and meaningful data, increasing the speed and agility of IT implementations will be crucial. Dispersed oil and gas business units will require IT services that are fully integrated across geographies and time zones. Companies that have resisted outsourcing their non-core business functions will need to rethink their position, as effective offshoring has now been proven to bring considerable competitive advantages.
