The Upstream Oil & Gas Production industry is undergoing significant changes. Whether it’s coping with an aging and/or inexperienced workforce or operations downsizing, the availability of talent to address increasingly challenging operations is severely limited. The increased pressure for asset life and productivity improvements compound the issue as production personnel tend to focus on the here and now just to keep operations running, often firefighting rather than building plans to pre-empt problems. These resource constraints make it more difficult to address ‘green’ and ‘sustainable development’ priorities or to optimize a fleet of production sites. Invensys Process Systems can help. Our Oil and Gas production solutions transform the collaboration within and among all levels of the organization, providing improved visibility and responsiveness throughout the enterprise. The result - a shift from inconsistent reactions to consistent, pro-active preventions and greater exploitation of asset capability.
IPS solutions enable more effective use of specialists and less experienced personnel by proactively directing the challenge or opportunity to the correct individual: low-impact problems or opportunities are handled by less experienced people and higher impact problems or opportunities are handled by the more experienced team members.
