Reduce risk & enhance compliance

Reduce risks & meet regulatory compliances in highly complex, capital-intensive O&G operations. Accurate data & efficient document management avoid losses due to errors or inefficiencies.

process automation for schools

Enable collaboration & data sharing

Create a centralized digital repository of all documents to enable remote access, fast search & retrieval. Smoothen collaboration with user permissions, version control & auto-backups.


Challenges in document management for oil & gas companies

Oil & gas is a document-intensive industry, and companies in this sector generate high volumes of data.

Even minor errors or inefficiencies catapult into significant losses at a large scale of operations.

Besides, the industry is heavily regulated, and companies must adhere to stringent data privacy & security policies and adopt information governance best practices.

 

Document types in oil & gas

  • Physical asset documentation

  • Engineering drawings

  • Vendor catalogs

  • Equipment as-built & maintenance data

  • SOPs, production logs, work orders

  • HSE records

  • Employee records

    With so many document types and operations spread across locations, including in remote areas (like the Arctic, deep water, etc.), managing permissions, access control, and version control is complex and challenging.


Inefficiencies of paper records & siloed information

Many companies maintain these records in paper format or manual spreadsheets saved on different systems across offices, branches, or remote onsite locations. This localized information is not immediately accessible to other branches or remote teams and is cumbersome to search and retrieve.

When information exists in siloes, collaboration between functional teams and locations with differing data management practices becomes challenging.

Without an integrated view of all information, oil companies struggle to create process efficiencies and make data-driven decisions.

RDS offers powerful document management technology to put oil companies firmly on the path to digitization.

Compliance and security for oil and gas document management software

Oil & gas companies must maintain secure and auditable records for all projects. Companies that want to qualify for the ISO quality certification or the ISO 14000 environmental management standards (EMS), must be able to maintain and control all project-related documentation electronically.

This may include documents related to finance and accounting, taxation, and Health, Safety & Environment (HSE) records.

Besides, all project documentation and business information must comply with document retention policies laid down by the industry.

Here are some of the standard security measures for oil and gas document management:

  • Advanced data encryption technology to prevent unauthorized access or modification of data

  • Security measures such as 2FA (two-factor authentication) and password-protected access control

  • Audit trails to detect who last accessed or modified a document are necessary.

RDS uses OpenText AppEnhancer to provide granular control of what users can see, manage or share through robust information access.

AppEnhancer helps companies manage who has access to what types of data and how it should be used or shared. It features advanced security features that fulfill compliance requirements for data privacy and information governance policies.
