Microsoft solutions for Oil & Gas

Oil and Gas industry solutions from Microsoft and its partners are based on the world's most cost-effective, functionally rich information technology (IT) platform that helps create a more secure computing experience. This platform ensures our solutions are interoperable with a wide variety of systems to help people collaborate locally and globally across traditional data boundaries and gain streamlined access to information. These solutions uniquely amplify the efforts of people, creating winning relationships with customers, partners and regulators. Download the oil and gas industry overview solution sheet.

Upstream Operations

Global energy demand is surging during a critical shortage of skilled exploration and production (E&P) workers. Meanwhile, digital oilfield technologies offer volumes of raw data to support real-time decisions. Microsoft and its partners deliver tightly integrated solutions along the entire upstream value chain that address these changing operational and business requirements. Together we help your people reliably and securely manage data, collaborate across boundaries, and achieve faster time to insight. The result is better decision-making throughout your organization, helping you control costs, accelerate time to first flow and improve recovery rates.

Refining and Petrochemical Operations

New economic and operating pressures are increasing the pressure on refiners and petrochemical manufacturers to reduce already tight margins. With increased visibility into operations, manufacturers can gain greater control over cost and improve efficiencies of scale. Microsoft and its partners deliver business and technology solutions that enhance role-based productivity by gathering relevant data from enterprise and plant systems and delivering it to the people who need it, in real time, to improve insights, decision making and ultimately performance.

Capital Project Management

People in the Oil and Gas industry are driving hard to find, produce and distribute hydrocarbons and to design, build and maintain the required value chain infrastructure. These are huge, global, capital-intensive projects with a high degree of complexity and inherent risk. Overall corporate success hinges on the collective successes of all the individual projects as well as managing the portfolio of projects and advancing those that best align with corporate objectives. Enterprise project management solutions from Microsoft and its partners intelligently manage the entire investment life cycle, from strategic portfolio decisions to managing work, providing real-time visibility to everyone in your organization.

High Performance Computing

High-performance computing applications enable engineers and scientists to create advanced analytical models. Better models lead to more accurate predictions, accelerating time to oil and improving business results. But when administrative and IT complexity limit user access to high-performance computing applications-or an increasingly mobile workforce has no access-it detracts oil and gas workers from solving domain challenges and developing optimal solutions. Microsoft and its industry partners deliver solutions that seamlessly integrate high-performance computing applications with the E&P workflow and provide secure, reliable remote mobile access-making high-performance computing available to everyone who needs it, anytime, anywhere.


What's more, Microsoft and its partners offer joint solutions addressing other challenges such as innovation process management, supply chain visibility and collaboration, oil and gas retail and marketing operations, sales and marketing effectiveness, and energy trading. Combined, these solutions can transform oil and gas workflows and help businesses meet the energy challenges of the twenty-first century.
