Issues with Siloed (Un-integrated) DataIt is common for E&P companies to use multiple vendors for different aspects of the well life cycle. But when data from those systems is not integrated, it can result in (among other things):
• Budget overspending• Under-spent capital can’t be reinvested• Multiple data entries (resulting in errors)• Inaccurate or dated reporting• Delays in the form of work stoppages or
cross-departmental challenges• Reporting that has to be manually
compiled

Data Integration is KeyData that has a single point of truth empowers your operation across all departments. It allows you to react to operational problems quickly, avoid errors and bottlenecks, and identify and exploit profitable opportunities.
Total Asset Manager™ integrates with your designated oil and gas applications—including spreadsheets—and establishes a central repository of information. Data can then be pulled from these applications. From there, it is configured into useful business intelligence, performance metrics, and reports that are displayed on the dashboard. This gives the ability to readily share information across disciplines and departments. Updates and allocations are automatically performed as soon as data becomes available, making reports up-to-date and accurate.

Create a road map to execute the vision.2Make a detailed plan that will allow you to arrive at your goals. Here are some questions to ask yourself:
• What makes your business work? • Why does it exist? Solicit employee input.• What do you want in the next 3 to 5 years? Do you want to improve employee
retention, grow your company, increase profits, give back to community, improve environment, etc.?
• What will it take to get there? Be specific.
Put your plan in writing and make sure that you can measure what you aim for. Say who is going to do what and set a time line.
Build the team to travel the road map to its success.3Having unity for your vision across your operation will allow all personnel to feel confident and eager in their roles, and build solidarity in striving for the same level of excellence.
• Delegate key personnel to lead the charge in supporting your vision. These people will keep everyone involved through the entire process and following a common goal.
• Select the right team carefully. Make sure they have the skills for the job in hand and a mixture of people with different abilities. Together they should represent all the skills you will need. Make sure they have the ability to get along well with others.
• Clearly define your expectations for chain of command, responsibilities, and reporting structures at the onset. Delegate tasks to the right person and make it clear who has the authority in that task.
• Make sure your goals are clearly understood. Set early goals that are achievable to empower your team.
• Communicate... Cooperate... Communicate... Cooperate
Sustain success through solid processes.4The processes you create will help ensure a reduction in errors, increased communication (and availability of information), reduce downtime, increase productivity, and help you address all situations quickly and decisively.
