Stating the obvious…
Information Management (IM) has a significant impact on the
success of E&P companies
The most difficult (and important) IM issues are people ones
Different stakeholders, different needs:
– IM Professionals: Details, implementation
– Business owners: Costs, benefits
– Information users: only notice IM when it fails
A shared common view of IM is a crucial first step

Example Business Impact Statements
Missing well test data in North Field → wells remain shut in
Impact: 250bbls x 10 wells x 2 months production => $6.0M
4 out of 5 Field Rework projects delayed for 3 months each while
searching for data
Impact: 1500bbls x 4projects x 45days x $40 => $10.8M
Investment of USD $11M/ year reduced annual data loss 3%
Impact: 47,984 well logs, replacement cost => $74M

The Information Landscape
How information is managed:
Streams: how data is organised
Activities: what needs doing when and by whom
Data flows: how information moves
Roles: which categories of information are held where
Exceptions: how IM varies within the organisation
Organisation: relationships between groups

Categories of Data
Broad groupings
– Achieving Consensus is hard
Hierarchical
– Document at lowest level
– Present at highest level
Start from a default list
– Add types that are important
– Rename using terms familiar to the company

Discussion – Communicating with your users
What are the keys to shared understanding of information flows in your
organisation?
Which categories of data are most and least important for your company?,
Why?
Do you have activity descriptions for the most crucial data categories? How
do you represent activities?
What roles do your key repositories play? For what data?
How many “ways of working” do you have to enable? What are the main
differences?
How do you present IM to new users? To managers looking for a potential
new project?
