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.

A Global 500 energy company set out to find opportunities for greater efficiency in extracting oil from unconventional reservoirs and developed a steam-assisted gravity drainage production solution that now saves millions of dollars annually by reducing the need for maintenance and risk of interruptions.

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.

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.
