    Before they can finalize a project plan theyneed hard data that reveals what it will take to

    get the wells to perform at optimal levels.Similarly, investors need to have confidence in

    their forecasts to be assured of a worthwhilereturn

    Most oil and gas operators areexperts at managing wells, notdata points.

    Implementing standards forimproved communication

    Several data standards are used to increaseintegration for exploration, drilling, andproduction.

    Currently Big Chasm exist between datastandards and business process.

    Example: Common data standard forgeophysical data, which is used globally.The tools may include built-in

    adaptorsProduction accounting systems

    Equipping Managers forBetter Asset Management

    It empowers people in the field with currentbusiness information.

    Strong local control of operations reported to

    be most effective in decision-making.It leads to faster review and approval.

    Provide additional information back to fieldpersonnel via Web portals like automationof invoicing and providing access, viahandhelds, bill of materials (BoM).

    Tools for Improving WorkforceEfficiency

    Aim of E & P companies is to have fewerpeople in the field and thus people in officeaided by various IT tools.

    Information from the field frequently isessential to focus resources mosteffectively. It helps in improving theworkforce efficiency.

    Due to the uncertainty in achieving apositive return on investment (ROI) everyinvestment is made carefully in terms ofboth ROI and immediate impact on profits.

    Case Study- Laredo PetroleumInc.

    Laredo Petroleum, Inc., an exploration andproduction company headquartered in Tulsa,Oklahoma. Laredos strategy is to makestrategic acquisitions and participate in jointdrilling ventures that have upside potential inthe targeted area of the Mid-Continent andPermian Basin Regions of the U.S.

    Laredo acquires and develops natural gas, oilreserves, and strategic gathering systems. The

    company actively seeks and evaluatesacquisition opportunities to create valuethrough operational improvements, gatheringsystem expansion, development drilling, and

    exploration ventures. Laredo uses O & G TAMto automate these activities. The system pulls

    What TAM does?

    TAM automated well lifecycle strategy. It

    pulls data from multiple applications intoone trusted source for easy access and

    utilizationFrom the TAM system, The company created

    dashboards that help highlight problematicareas quickly and easily. Now, technical

    professionals spend most of their timesolving problems, not wasting their timesorting through cumbersome databases.

    TAM Reports

    The Daily Production Report, presents detailsabout daily and forecasted production,with a seven-day rolling average for one ormultiple wells.

    The Base Production Report shows themonthly value of forecasted base

    production and monthly actual production.The Lease Operating Expense Report reveals

    what Laredo budgeted for particular wells

    that month and where they stand now. The Lease Expiration Report tracks

    thousands of leases on many pieces ofland to make sure those leases are

    renewed correctly and on time.

    TAM delivers daily reports about the status ofeach well. These reports help Laredo optimizebusiness processes to maximize their assetson a daily basis.

    For example, the Daily Operations Report is sent

    out by e-mail to the people overseeing thewells. It contains daily information about thework done on the wells, who did the work, jobcompletion status, and well productioncompared to seven days prior.

    Key data points within the report are associatedwith thresholds, and TAM uses alertingtechnology to notify people when thresholdsare exceeded. This proactive function keepsmanagers abreast of progress towardsscheduled goals, budgets, and completion
