Background
An International E&P Company with varied prospects globally needed access to data on prospects by widespread team members – local exploration team in South America, specialists and reviewers in Europe and HQ decision-makers in the US. Prospect evaluations were being stored in local databases for legal reasons, with no external access by stakeholders.
Specific Challenges
Data restrictions in-country meant that team members needed to travel to the prospect from Europe and the US, for even short meetings. This led to increased costs, both financial and in terms of time, and resulted in fewer vital project updates, essentially reducing optimal outcomes.
Solution
Discussions with the client led to a solution using the Ariane private cloud. This enabled all team members to access the data they needed, in a timely manner, from anywhere in the world.
Outcome
The client was enabled to successfully execute the project with increased efficiency using online sessions for updates. Additionally travel costs – financial and carbon footprint – were much reduced. All team members had on-demand access to prospect data, increasing transparency and long-term data integrity.
