Is It Essential To Change The Way We Buy Digital Oilfield Capabilities To Get The Benefits We Want?How Do These Capabilities Affect Relationships With Service Providers?

摘要

Many benefits of Digital Oilfield (DOF) initiatives come from improved organisational integration. To date, much emphasis has been placed on integrating different functions within a company. However, experience from the defence sector suggests that significant gains can be realised by integrating across the supply chain. In this paper, we look at how these benefits were captured in defence and explore how this knowledge can be utilised in DOF improvement programmes. We also demonstrate that procurement models encouraging organisational integration proved essential to deliver Network Enabled Capability (NEC), the Defence sector equivalent of DOF.
