GIS-based Information Management Portal for an Oil and Gas Major
A global energy company wanted to digitize its oil well files and enable multidisciplinary collaboration.
Business Need
- Gaps in Document Management: Searching and retrieving documents was difficult as oil well files were stored in multiple locations and shared drives
- Collaboration not always supported by systems and processes: The absence of a common platform and processes did not allow information exchange between multidisciplinary teams
- Silos in GIS (Geospatial Information System): The lack of a unified GIS to support oil well location evaluation hindered the ability to take informed decisions and resulted in delayed decision-making
Our Solution
Infosys reviewed the business processes, identified gaps in how information was managed and developed an Information Management strategy. We provided an end-to-end business solution, including a strategy, solution design, solution development, overall program management, hard copy oil well file document scanning and migration.
Infosys developed a GIS-based Information Management portal to integrate production data, electronic documents and spatial data. The portal uses GIS to manage spatial information; Documentum to manage document information and existing database management systems to manage production data. The solution enabled stakeholders to collaborate during new oil well planning and development activities.
