Business Challenge
OpenWorks - 2008 World Oil Award With oil prices dropping, the industry is under intense pressure to produce at economically feasible rates.  And we must remain vigilant in our attention to health, safety and the environment. Yet our greatest challenge is our changing workforce; estimates report that 40 percent of our most experienced personnel will be retiring within the next ten years.  Knowing this, how can we expect to find and produce more oil and preserve the environment for future generations? The answer lies with technology. From the technology used for exploration, to that used for producing oil and transporting it, all parts of the value chain must improve to meet demand. 

The OpenWorks® R5000 project management system positively impacts the first part of this value chain—the ability to find oil.  For the past twenty years, the OpenWorks database has been the most trusted project database in the industry. In the OpenWorks R5000 release, Landmark is enhancing this technology with four significant innovations:

  • Knowledge capture
  • Traceability of data
  • Integration of prestack seismic data
  • Data optimization

Benefits

  • Knowledge and history are shared optimizing asset team performance:
    • Answers for why decisions were made,
    • Understand what considerations or risks exist,
    • Knowledge is captured within the project for current and future generations.
  • Prestack seismic data is available directly to interpretation applications:
    • Saving time in analysis, 
    •  Reducing risk,
    • Achieving more trustworthy results. 
  • Reduces data duplication - find and use data more efficiently.


Economic Benefits:

  • Accelerated staff ramp up time,
  • More accurate well placement through integration of prestack seismic data resulting in minimized nonproductive drilling time,
  • Mitigated risk through better decisions based on quality data,
  • IT operational savings from fewer data sets to manage, maintain and synchronize.
