Creating Headspace - Liberate your engineers.

What’s the biggest cost for any operator??

It’s the people.?

And in oil and gas these aren’t average people; they’re highly skilled engineers, recruited for their problem-solving capabilities, their deep domain expertise and their real-world experience.?

More than 20 years since the first concept of the digital oil field we’re still grappling with how to free up these engineers, release them from the mundane and manual, to supercharge operations with their collective brainpower.?

Digital looked like the silver bullet, but while it’s improved a lot of things, it’s also made some things worse.?

The same engineers operating with paper-based systems now have to contend with the data monster, spending up to a day a week on average hunting data, then pasting it into a doc of some sort to perform calculations, build a chart or present a number in a report.?

A day a week lost.? Impacting efficiency, the backlog, motivation, stress.?

Of your top talent.?

At Eigen we always start from the engineer’s point of view. As engineers ourselves, we understand the pain and the potential from data and digital – and we design and build solutions that make engineers’ lives easier.?

Our mission is to create headspace for engineers, so they can work on the business-critical, complex and value-adding activities for which they were originally hired.?

Over the years we’ve developed solutions that help engineers manage by exception – like this automated blowdown verification tool using knowledge graph technology.? Gaute Aaboen, one of the senior engineers at AkerBP, estimated it saved a week in key trend work required by automating workflows and organising data around the engineer’s needs.?

Too much time is spent by engineers gathering data and building reports.? One operator we worked with was spending a week every month preparing a chemicals usage report, tying up valuable production chemists’ time.? In our project set up, we counted almost 500 copy/pastes to collect, analyse and present the report – imagine the scope for error!? A few weeks working with Eigen gave them an automated Chemical Report Dashboard which with two clicks collected data from multiple sources, ran some complex calculations, using Eigen’s Analytics Platform, and produced and distributed a report to management – with no room for error!?

In the last few months, we’ve been rolling out Ingenuity 7 to our clients.? One, OKEA ASA , has grabbed the new customisable functionality with both hands. For the first time, its engineers are now able to build their own low-code automated workflows to pull in data, run calculations, build charts, analyse trends, create events and notifications.? No need for expensive consultants or vendors, they have the power to build what they need, fast.? No surprise perhaps that since they’ve taken over as operate of the Brage asset they’ve tripled production.?

That’s what engineers can do when they get the headspace!?
