Schlumberger
awarded $60 million PEMEX contract
Posted: 5 March 2003
Houston — Schlumberger announced a $60-million,
two-year contract with PEMEX Exploration and Production (PEMEX E&P)
to provide information management solutions to all of its upstream
asset units. PEMEX E&P is a division of PEMEX, the Mexican state-owned
petroleum company.
The solution will comprise lifecycle information management services
from Schlumberger Information Solutions and SchlumbergerSema change
management expertise. This will enable PEMEX to significantly enhance
data access, administration and analysis leading to faster and improved
decision making.
“Information management is a key component of the PEMEX technical
computing strategy. The contract leverages proven information management
solutions, expert services and consulting processes of Schlumberger.
Exploration and production (E&P) professionals have access to
relevant data--petrotechnical, financial, production operations,
and portfolio optimization--that enables them to make better business
decisions and develop new opportunities more rapidly,” said
Jose Luis Figueroa, manager, PEMEX E&P Information Management
Project.
Electronic and nonelectronic data from different sources will be
integrated and consolidated into one virtual repository, which involves
capturing, digitizing and scanning/indexing E&P information
and associated physical assets, such as cores, fluid samples, sieves
and thin sections. This will be accomplished using a common data
model that follows well-defined standards using international best
practices and a common set of procedures countrywide.
Schlumberger will provide information management services in a
secure, high-performance environment with operations support, monitoring
and change management consulting for its industry-leading InfoStream*
family of personalized information lifecycle solutions supporting
post stack seismic, well log, wellbore, production, and sample/interpreted
subsurface model information. All services will be supported by
the change management competencies and five-step business transformation
methodology of SchlumbergerSema.
“PEMEX has embarked on a business transformation that will
undoubtedly have a tremendous impact on the E&P industry in
Mexico, and we are pleased to have the opportunity to support these
efforts,” said Jose Magela Bernardes, general manager, Mexico,
Schlumberger. “The combination of consulting and systems integration
expertise will enable PEMEX E&P to maximize the value of its
data assets, to provide efficient administration and rapid delivery
of data to PEMEX geoscientists and engineers, helping to achieve
business goals.
“The success of this type of project is highly dependent
on the team’s ability to address all change management aspects
from technical to people issues to enhance efficiency and enable
more accurate decisions in a timely manner, while maintaining the
integrity and value of data--the most important asset in the E&P
business,” he concluded.
