Earlier this year (OITJ February 2009), Computer Sciences Corp (CSC) and Houston-based The Information Store (iStore) entered into an alliance whereby CSC acts as the prime systems integrator and consulting services provider for iStore’s PetroTrek Digital Oilfield solutions. Now the companies have announced what is described as a ‘Petroleum Enterprise Intelligence’ (PEI) solution for the upstream. The PEI leverages Oracle’s business intelligence applications and the iStore’s data access and visualization technology to provide insights into the financial impact of field decisions and to optimize production operations. PEI spans upstream and operational system, adding analytical functions for E&P, refining and pipeline marketing, energy trading, financials, supply chain and workforce management.
Bob Welch, president of CSC’s Chemical, Energy and Natural Resources Group said, ‘Upstream oil and gas companies can significantly impact their growth and profitability when they have the ability to make fast, smart business decisions. Encompassing everyone from drilling engineers to financial analysts, our approach enables oil field workers to optimize asset performance by delivering the right information to the right people at the right time.’ The offering addresses the areas of business processes, information management, operations and technology infrastructure.
