Technology Development & Implementation
After a merger, a major oil and gas company found it was left with multiple trading systems, which were not well coordinated and supported only limited types of trading. Crossing the Technology Chasm: Managed Pressure Drilling by Steve Jacobs and John Donnelly
The petroleum industry has a proud history of developing technology capable of exploiting reserves in increasingly harsh surface and downhole environments. Despite these considerable accomplishments, it has been documented that the speed of technology acceptance is slower in the petroleum sector than in a number of other industries. As exploration continues to focus on even more challenging environments (e.g., high pressures, high temperatures, deep water, and extended reach applications), the need for advanced technology to successfully exploit hydrocarbons will only escalate. JPT and Decision Strategies, an oil and gas management consulting firm, have teamed up to examine these key upstream challenges, the potential technology solutions, and the reasons for a relatively low acceptance rate of some new technologies in the industry.
