Oil & Gas

Microsoft's Viewpoint

Oil and Gas companies and their suppliers are facing a global surge in energy demand. At the same time, they’re facing a critical shortage of skilled manpower in exploration and production (E&P). Downstream margins remain low while trading continues to be very competitive. Microsoft and its partners deliver tightly integrated solutions—along the entire value chain—that effectively address these changing operational and business requirements.

Digital technologies and connected devices offer volumes of raw data to support real-time decisions. Join hands with Microsoft and help your people manage this data reliably and securely, collaborate across boundaries, and achieve faster time to insight. The result would be better decision making throughout your organization, better cost control and faster time to market from exploration and production, refining and retail and it would also establish a more efficient Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) and manage pricing in a more sustainable way.

Microsoft and its partner ecosystems are providing a secure, scalable and integrated platform to innovation and competitiveness to the oil and gas industry.
    Solutions:
  • Unconventional Oil and Gas exploration and production has been booming in recent years. Companies are becoming increasingly aware of the importance of technology to manage and nurture innovation, as well as manage the environmental, economic and social impact of their production processes. Microsoft and its partner ecosystems aim to provide a secure, scalable and integrated platform that supports and encourages innovation and competitiveness in the oil and gas industry.
    Solutions:
  • Oilfield services have been under tremendous pressure recently as they have to cut cost, innovate and be agile all at the same time. As they adapt and sometime change their business model, they embrace new technology like mobility, cloud, big data but also revolutionary social business.
    Solutions:
  • Engineering Procurement and Construction companies are entering a very competitive area and need better visibility to their supply chain from design to delivery of their product. Engineering talent gives them a market differentiator but smart procurement provides the cash flow. Knowledge management, security of their IP and asset/capital management are key themes that EPC companies care about.
