Making partnership a priority

摘要

The evolving requirements of asset management for major supply companies require a partnership approach with their oil company and contractor customers. In the oil and gas industry, asset management has traditionally been associated with multidisciplinary teams making decisions on the exploration, development, and production strategy for an oil field. Essentially, the approach is heavily results-driven and modeled on the financial services sector, where the term originates. That definition of asset management has morphed into a more detailed engineering-style approach to every component of a project's operation over the whole life cycle, drawing in contractors as well as equipment and service suppliers.
