Engineering Petroleum Software Methodology

 

Upstream Professionals utilizes a Well Life-Cycle Decision Framework (WLCDF) methodology in delivering solutions through engineering petroleum software and services. This approach utilizes an upstream value chain, from Exploration to Abandonment. Have a focused view of how all upstream related activity and projects contribute to the profitability of the E&P organization. The methodology begins with the Sponsorship of Corporate Vision and Goals which will allow for the understanding of the strategic intent and business context of any targeted initiative.

 

Key components of the WLCDF methodology are:

 

Insuring that integrated Operational Data Sets are Implemented to provide:

Clarity

Consistency

Continuity

Confidence to the Operations Team

 

Assembling Multi-Disciplined Operational Teams to insure:

That all workflow and interdependencies are met for the life-cycle of the well

 

Providing the Analytical / Process Tools to prepare for:

The execution of activities that "manufacture" oil and gas

 

Enabling and providing the correct resources to:

Conduct the activities from drilling to completion to production efficiently and effectively 

 

 

Engineering petroleum software creates an appropriate balance between adequate data sources, data tools, knowledgeable workers, and communications technologies within exploration companies.  The interoperability of these company resources, results in the overall information efficiency of exploration companies today.  Agility with data is a driving force for company profits, and allows appropriate corporate expertise to move reliably through their days managing the appropriate information to a business purpose.

 

The WLCDF methodology promotes that all efforts in the operational department and related expenditures should be ROI driven and support the vision and goals of the company. An Organizational Culture that supports successful efforts in atmosphere and enabling activities that support the goals will yield better results. Multi-Disciplined Teams (Land, Accounting, Engineering, Technicians, Field Managers, Pumpers) made up of appropriate skills for the Operations are critical due to interdependencies of activity and data via Real-Time Delivery of Information from original source of input. 

 

Allow strategic information system in engineering petroleum software to handle many interdependencies, to reflect the achievement of goals, to remind you of in-efficiencies, and to allow the right people to be empowered to act correctly as quickly as possible.  Right sized budgets enable activities within a goal/channel of effort of a company to be acted upon with confidence and measured in real time for performance.
