Enterprise resource planning (ERP) solutions have already been widely adopted by the industry. Furthermore, in an industry where production can be somewhat distanced from day-to-day human intervention, the industry was among the first to embrace the sensor technologies that generated machine-to-machine data, making it one of the earliest examples of driving insight through the Internet of Things (IoT). Since 2014, the fall in oil prices has caused massive disruption in the oil and gas industry and an industry-wide reduction in activity and capital projects on an unprecedented scale. As such, oil and gas companies are now drilling multiple wells on one well pad and using just-in-time and assembly-line manufacturing practices to streamline coordination and delivery of equipment and supplies. OVERCOMING THE CHALLENGES OF EFFICIENCY AND COST FOR OIL AND GAS 50% of oil and gas companies will be applying proven assembly-line and just-in-time manufacturing methodologies to well development and production by 2018. 50% MAJOR MAINTENANCE PROGRAMS NEED TO BE CAREFULLY PRIORITIZED BASED ON NEED with companies looking to learn from owned asset data without relying on equipment from OEMs. 3 THE COMPELLING METRICS YOU CANNOT IGNORE It is essential to analyze and assess the global landscape continually to retain a competitive edge in the future. The speed and degree of change are significant and the number of competitors embracing change is substantial. Various industry experts report: >57% of IT spend by oil and gas companies was directed towards compliance, maintenance and running activities in 2016 More than 25% of European oil and gas companies plan to start using big data analytics-based technologies (BDA) within the next 12 months, specifically for maintenance management, natural resource exploration and sensor-based pipeline optimization 76% of oil and gas companies will increase their use of smart devices or embedded intelligence in processes in the next two years >50% of oil and gas companies worldwide will update software to reduce costs, build a stable IT environment, automate workflows, fill functionality gaps and align processes by 2018 76% >50%>25% >57% Overall, 45% of companies are re-inventing their business model to be based on asset availability rather than day rates 45% ASSET AVAILABILITY DAY RATES 4 Headline insight from new research, commissioned by IFS from Raconteur Custom Publishing, into the attitudes towards Digital Transformation in the oil and gas industry indicates: LATEST INSIGHTS FROM IFS RESEARCH Globally, 33% of oil and gas businesses are still at the exploratory or nascent stage with leveraging digital technologies – with smaller companies this rises to 73% 65% of businesses rated the importance of BDA and IoT as four out of five, or five out of five in terms of being transformative for positive disruption Mid-sized companies report they are conspicuously affected by siloed working due to lack of system integration Generally, there is a talent deficit in areas such as business intelligence, cyber security and IoT – companies are dependent on upskilling existing staff 0% 10% 20% 30% 40% 50% Operational efficiency Operational risk Operational safety AREAS WHERE ADVANCED, INTEGRATED DATA VISUALIZATION AND ANALYTICS WILL HAVE THE MOST POSITIVE IMPACT 33% 65% Full details of the Raconteur Custom Publishing oil & gas research into digital transformation are available from ifs.world/dcs-og 5 Oil and gas companies are facing the reality that they need to transform, but to do that, they need to create a solid IT environment that will provide immediate, accurate data to generate meaningful analytics on an enterprise level. Upstream companies realize that their underlying asset management systems, if agile and flexible, can be transformed by the integration and analysis of data to enable ‘smarter’ services. Companies that add innovative service and asset management capabilities to their business model are likely to benefit from being able to offer new and innovative business models, resulting in additional income streams.

Globally, the industry is seeking to outsource for best-practice advice but, against a landscape of ever-shifting opinions, it is increasingly difficult to identify and isolate true and sustainable expertise that understands both the industry and the individual challenges of a digitally-enabled world. At the same time, senior management needs to deal with complexities and develop agile policies to take advantage of change as it happens. To be equipped for this, they need external experts to look at required change, the scale of change and the speed of change while the business goes about doing ‘the day job.’ There is almost a universal agreement across the oil and gas industry that third-party organizations and external experts have an important role to play in digital transformation, particularly in certain key areas. Where the greatest value can be offered by third-party vendors: DIGITAL ORGANIZATION AND OPERATIONS 41% PROJECT MANAGEMENT40% PERFORMANCE ANALYTICS AND REPORTING 39% IFS solutions and expertise extends further than just traditional enterprise asset management (EAM). IFS also offers ways to maximize investment in assets using asset performance management. For example, intelligently deferring former interval-based maintenance until the asset performance warrants it. Industry Director, Maritime, Oil & Gas 7 CONT... HOW SONGA OFFSHORE OPTIMIZED OPERATIONS AND DIGITALIZATION Songa Offshore is an international midwater drilling contractor with a strong presence in the North Atlantic basin. For drilling contractors, long-term asset management and maintenance are a top priority since downtime directly affects the overall result. In 2014, Songa Offshore chose IFS Applications to support onshore and offshore operations within maintenance, supply chain, document management and financials. Cato Sola Dirdal, IT/IS Director at Songa, recognized that the organization needed to be prepared for change, especially those key people who would drive future improvements. The overall benefits of the new, integrated ERP solution include more connected processes—stretching across departments and functions—consolidation of systems, easier integration with other systems, improved TCO monitoring and an improved data foundation with new analysis and reporting possibilities. The company now holds a common view of maintenance and logistics. I F S C U S T O M E R S T O R Y It was important to get a software platform that could help us standardize our business processes, to analyze our business activities for better efficiency and for future improvements, and at the same time help us improve decision- making through data analysis. Cato Sola Dirdal | IT/IS Director at Songa Offshore NOW, IFS APPLICATIONS HAS 150 users onshore 550 nearly users offshore 8 SONGA OFFSHORE LEVERAGES IoT TO TRANSFORM ASSET MAINTENANCE I F S C U S T O M E R S T O R Y Songa Offshore now focuses on further efficiency and improvements of the ERP solution, through simplification and automation. The process-driven approach will concentrate on a company-wide delivery model, which will optimize how Songa Offshore works internally and with its suppliers. The integrated ERP solution has provided Songa Offshore with a suitable foundation for digital innovation. One project stands out: the realization of high-performance condition-based and predictive maintenance with the help of IFS IoT Business Connector. The first phase of the project involves 600 assets on each rig, where maintenance will be triggered based on the number of hours in which an asset is in use. When you operate advanced, complex and fully integrated digital assets, it would be extremely workload-demanding to maintain these assets the conventional way. Instead, we want our intelligent equipment to tell us when it needs to be repaired.

Organizations will need to adapt business processes, adopt new skills and change business systems to support digital strategies and technologies. WHAT’S NEXT FOR YOUR BUSINESS? >50% oil and gas companies will exploit new technology to innovate, minimize costs and help achieve a lower-emissions environment. Gartner suggests that as oil prices plunge, demand for digital oil field applications will grow by 2018. By 2020, the drive to use data to deliver service and asset management efficiencies will result in a global industry-wide IT spend of nearly $48.5 billion. >50% $48.5bn Businesses will need to extend their thinking beyond traditional enterprise asset management and look for ways to maximize investment in assets using asset performance management. 10 HOW CAN IFS EXPERTISE HELP?
