PFC Energy

For 30+ years, this E&P company has thrived by adopting transformative technologies. Recently it began using a new system to increase profits by reducing geosteering operations from hours to minutes with real-time data, improving communication efficiency between engineers and geophysicists, and by integrating seismic information with well data.

This group of oil, gas and petrochemical companies has interests in a variety of renewable energy sources and has become the world’s largest distributor of biofuels – exploring ideas to accelerate potential development of a commercially-feasible and climate-friendly biofuel from marine algae.

To lower costs enterprise-wide, a global energy company asked IHS to review 35 internal standards and list 143 comparable international standards. Research uncovered conformity opportunities including 25% savings on casing and tubing for $5 million annually and $180 million annually for conformance with ALL industry standards.

With operations in Texas and California, this independent oil and gas company implemented a single, integrated system that enabled access to 30+ standard reports with the latest well and production info via the Web, avoiding manual processes and increasing data currency. Easily created/maintained "hands-free" data feeds saved months of development time.
