Eliminate rework
"..When we have to submit the quarterly development report to the Department of Energy my people use the reporting functionality in 2Elevate. They print the report, read it and make in the system textual corrections. Alternatively they add missing pieces of information. After having updated the required parts of the report, they click the notification button which triggers me to verify the total submission. Having done that, I notify the Department of Energy that the report is ready in the system, by one click on the notify button. It takes my people only couple of hours additional work to generate a specific report, instead of the usually 1-2 weeks, typing and collating a required report. Similarly the state department can access the system at any time to see the progress of development activities..."
Create knowledge base
"... The Field Development & Projects modules allows us to capture the ‘what’, ‘why’ and ‘how’ of all our studies and projects. More importantly, it lets us describe the key uncertainties and follow the key decisions made during the execution of the whole process. By looking back to our previous decisions we learn, stick better to our plans and it challenges us to remain consistent in our reasoning. During our business planning cycle the people accountable for the corporate forecast track more easily changes in the progress. Moreover they are quickly able to align forecast assumptions with what happens in reality..."
"... Well Reservoir management is no rocket science. In essence it is about seeing the wood through the trees. It is about discipline, applying experience and standardizing your practices. Finding insights in a complex set of various sources of information. 2Elevate helps us to share those best practices and set a minimum standard of great practices... "
"... The peer support functionality is great. By one click, I can see who is available in the expert pool. I sometime see new names, i.e. I can find out now much faster which new mature recruits joined out forces, from other international oil companies. In fact, 2Elevate helps us to communicate and strengthen our professional networks. It has become a corporate social network tool..."
"... We change jobs every 4-6 years. In the past there was always a complaint that either you had a negative handover, or you lost a lot of information by people leaving. It has always been difficult to capture the so called ‘tacit’ information. By 2Elevate we not only have reduced the time for onboarding with 80-90% but a lot of great ideas have been saved and followed through into execution..."
"...The Government has good reasons to drive for nationalization and local capability building. This means that you can hire much less expats, which effects my total knowledge and capability level. By using the peer review functionality in 2elevate, we have created a very cost effective and flexible way to hire in ’expat’ expertise: over the wire..."
Improve decisions
In opportunity management all ideas of varying maturity are captured. Linking opportunity management, Field Development and Projects Activities, Forecast information and Reserves reporting will enable making a prognosis or forecast of the reserves bookings into the future. 2Elevate allows a better control over the business and it supports strategic decision making and resources allocation.
"... Through the 2Elevate solution operations people in the field can find out about the reservoir and/or well plans generated by the development department. At the same time they can share their invaluable experiences directly with the planners in the office, using the well management module in 2Elevate. Through the new work practices, theoretical study reviews are in real time challenged or complemented by real life field results, which without doubt leads to better decisions..."
Reduce costs
"...Data acquisition planning is really organised by the local operating companies. The corporate head office does not have much influence over these practices. We know however that plenty of costs can be saved, including production interruptions, by sharing great practices and introducing minimum standards. If the well and reservoir game plans can be shared easily and e.g. remaining hydrocarbon reserves are part of the selection criteria of the decision to take a surveys or not, the quality of data acquisition execution will improve dramatically. The 2Elevate practice has helped us to do this effectively..."Increase production
"...The Opportunity management module in 2Elevate is the corporate tool to feed our opportunity realisation process. It supports resources allocation and therefor enables the acceleration of maturation of ideas in the opportunity funnel..."
"...The 2Elevate structure drives behaviour and it has enough flexibility to store even only small bits of insights. For every jigsaw you have to put pieces together. When was it the last time that you find the pieces in the correct following order on your table? Never? That is what 2elevate is about: it provides the right ‘table’ to put your subsurface jigsaw together and decide how are you going to produce more hydrocarbons faster…"
Protect license to operate
"...We have created a transparent well reservoir management process for the government using 2elevate. They like it, and want to adapt the system now as well. The learning curve of new subsurface professionals is much steeper. The new work practices have not only become a competitive advantage, they have set a new standard that became a foundation for protection of our licence to operate…"
"... When I combine Reserves figures with Scope potential and look at all the various ideas to be developed, it helps me to allocate my resources. By providing my people with a system in which all key information is only a click away, I enable them to prioritize their work and our resources"
