develop and deploy a surveillance portal for a major oil & gas company
challenge
Develop and deploy a surveillance portal that supports Wells, Reservoirs and Facilities Management (WRFM) business practitioners around the globe to optimise the Oil & Gas production
approach
Product designed and delivered using an agile delivery model (SCRUM). Used latest SAP technology to improve performance and applied standard data model to establish transparency. Deployed product to early adopters
result
Faster preparation and execution of WRFM reviews, more focused issue detection, prevention and mitigation, visualization of opportunities funnel
UPDATE
Last month Shell has launched WRFM NGT 2.5 to its production facilities in Norway, Qatar and Iraq. After 2 years of design and development work, the application suite went live to support the daily surveillance processes within the production programming and engineering user community. The IT tool will support Shell in further optimising its production recovery and will highlight any new opportunities for improving its way of working.
Together with thehucproject, Shell has adopted an agile (SCRUM based) delivery approach to implement NGT using short iterations and feedback loops with the business teams. This model has enabled Shell to validate product delivery quickly and turn around changing requirements imminently.
As the program management provider, thehucproject set up the program organisation and controlled the overall delivery and has been the driving force behind this go-live.
