Cuu Long Joint Operating Company Information

CuuLong Joint Operating Company (JOC)—comprising PetroVietnam, ConocoPhillips, KNOC, SK Corporation, and Geopetrol—is the second-biggest oil producer in Vietnam. This large, complex organization wanted to better manage its production data for monitoring operations and to optimize production. Certain known constraints needed to be overcome, such as workflow duplication, scattered data sources, manual reporting procedures, and data quality issues. To further complicate matters, the various JOC assets differed on many levels, ranging from a variety of infrastructures to different phases of the oilfield life cycle. Ideally, a production management solution needed to be implemented as early as possible before the production phase to achieve the best results in reduced risk, cost, and downtime while maximizing efficiency and productivity.
