Is old technology holding you back in Oil & Gas?

Posted: December 15, 2020

The Oil & Gas Industry is tough!

It always has been a tough industry, with 2020 being quite a bit tougher than most years.

2021 & 2022 will probably be rough as well. The AEI believes that oil demand won’t return to pre-COVID-19 levels until 2023. (source)

Can your company survive a volatile 2 years?

Only if you are agile.

Unfortunately, you can NOT be agile with outdated or antiquated technology.

Most companies in the Oil & Gas industry are a little behind. Most are using legacy points solutions that are pieced together or ,gasp, require manual data transfer to get the job done.

The biggest problem with this is that if keeps everyone working in silos and limits collaboration because everyone is working from different data sources, or with data from different time stamps.

Let’s look specifically at the supply chain. Most supply chains are very conservative in their calculations because each group within the supply chain builds in their own safety margin. When those individual safety margins compound, you end up with a plan that is too conservative.

This is a direct result of outdated, antiquated legacy point solutions.

Most of these solutions were build 20-30 years ago, well before cloud computing and modern computer languages.

They inhibit collaboration. They promote siloed working environments.

The biggest question is, how accurate is the data that each group is working with.

Who is working with the most accurate data?

But all is not lost. There is an answer.
