| Business Challenges addressed by Virtualization
|
 |
| The Oil and Gas industry faces several challenges which can be facilitated and
addressed by Virtualization:
|
|
|
| Safety is of paramount importance – ensuring a safe plant
environment and safe work habits require knowledgeable and trained staff. How
can we naturally train all staff and clearly communicate work tasks with less
ambiguity? |
|
|
|
|
| Knowledgeable workforce is reaching retirement age – most plants
have an experience gap. How can one clearly impart knowledge and experience to
newer workers?
|
|
|
|
|
| Extracting full value from existing investments – considerable and
complex information systems exist within the plant but accessing them can be
challenging. How can one take full advantage of these systems through a natural
and friendly user interface?
|
|
|
|
|
| Knowing what exists and where it is – many older plants face this
challenge. Is there an easy way to precisely document all plant assets and keep
this documentation accurate?
|
|
|
|
|
| Maintenance performed by contract personnel – this is norm within
the industry. How do we ensure that contactors are knowledgeable and capable of
performing their assigned tasks?
|
|
|
|
|
| Regulatory compliance – knowing the rules, meeting or exceeding
compliance regulations. How do we document requirements and ensure that staff
is aware and compliant?
