Schneider Electric, a global specialist in energy management and automation, has announced a major project in collaboration with Landmark, a Halliburton business line and leading provider of integrated E&P (Exploration & production) software.

The ongoing project aims to provide total transparency to E&P decision makers—from oil field to board room—with a real-time, integrated view of their business’ performance.

For E&P companies, performance is correlated with detailed technical, operational, and economic knowledge of the assets in their portfolios, said the statement from Schneider Electric.

The company is coming together with Landmark to connect Schneider Electric's IoT-enabled open and interoperable system architecture and platform EcoStruxure with Landmark DecisionSpace, allowing companies to build a real-time digital representation of individual assets and the overall portfolio.

“Thanks to the IoT and cloud solutions, we can transform upstream decision-making,” remarked Maurizio Rovaglio, vice president Technology & Alliances at Schneider Electric.

“We’re applying these technologies in innovative ways to deliver new functionalities and greater benefits. It’s exciting stuff,” he stated.

Together Landmark and Schneider Electric will be delivering integrated and commercially impactful workflows designed for E&P lifecycle management.

“To undertake these projects, operators require technology and commercial terms that work within their business constraints—no IT system overhauls or huge outlays of capital to occur before value is demonstrated,” stated Nagaraj Srinivasan, senior vice president of Landmark and Halliburton Digital Solutions.

The joint work extends to various aspects of upstream operations, including operations management, production surveillance, and production automation, he added.-TradeArabia News Service
