IT CHALLENGE

Introduction

Efficient IT systems are crucial to Statoil. Our IT department is looking for solutions that can enhance utilization of IT in our daily life, whether it is offshore, on-shore, sub-sea or sub-surface.

We are interested in technologies that can provide us with efficient IT solutions, and have listed some examples of the general IT challenges related to a global energy company.

However, we always look for new step changing technology and ideas, so the examples are just to get your imagination going. What’s your idea?

IT CHALLENGE: MOBILITY

EXAMPLES:

Users located in and constantly moving between many different types of business locations.

App (e.g. for iPad) for operators. Use of compass to guide the user, and augment the screen with information that may be listed as maintenance systems. Only the imagination sets the limits (e.g. creative use of camera and compass)

Automatically profile users based on application utilization and use this information to effectively share remote desktop resources based on technological demands (e.g. high end, 3D, ring-fenced hardware resources versus commodity virtual desktop technologies)

WHAT:

Tracking of personnel using wireless technology both offshore and in “hostile environments”

IT CHALLENGE: COLLABORATION AND UTILIZATION OF EXPERTS

EXAMPLES:

Domain experts need to efficiently cooperate across business location looking at the same data using similar or the same tools.

Seamless 3D collaboration across sites to support collaboration and global utilization of experts

Use of social software to find and connect competence globally

WHAT:

Visualization capabilities utilized for better, faster and easier perception and collaboration of the sub surface models

IT CHALLENGE: NEED FOR SPEED

EXAMPLES:

New and existing solutions and data must rapidly be made available in new locations.

Adaptation of new tools and technologies into the subsurface environment. In particular GPU and emerging CPU technologies will significantly change the landscape of HPC Seismic Imaging. Streamlining of the processes involving identifying opportunities, benchmarking new technologies, porting software and assimilation into the production environment

WHAT:

Efficiently scale computing capacity to business needs. For example related to HPC capacity for seismic imaging or reservoir simulation activities

IT CHALLENGE: TECHNICAL COMPLEXITY AND DIVERSITY

EXAMPLES:

Many supported disciplines and associated workflows resulting in a large and complex application portfolio based on a multitude of different technologies.

How to manage integration, data quality and master data? E.g. Scalable runtime environments which is capable of running sets of applications on a local data farm

WHAT:

How to efficiently integrate solutions across applications and at the same time keep each systems integrity?

WAN communication offshore. How to better utilize our high-speed WAN - land-offshore and between installations?

IT CHALLENGE: AMOUNT OF DATA

EXAMPLES:

Large and increasing amounts of data to be made available across the application portfolio and business locations.

Global availability of huge amounts of data. Communication speed and latency between locations makes moving data when using data hard. How can this be handled on an intranet? How can (or can) this be handled using the cloud?

WHAT:

Efficient information search through all relevant sources (disk folders, team sites, wikis and e-mails). Possibility to narrow and filter search by relevant criteria and efficient use of meta data used by team sites and wiki

Improve document search through georeferencing

Lifecycle management of data. How to better administrate storage systems on computing devices
