Functional Aspects

Companies providing services for customers on-site require appropriate scheduling of employees and technicians. The availability, skills and experience of employees and travel times need to be considered. In addition, the required information should be made available as efficiently as possible. As a result of an increasing rate of digitalization, companies are changing from manual planning in Microsoft Excel or on planning boards and printed documents to integrated workforce management tools that automate planning steps and provide relevant documents. The market for these software tools is growing rapidly. In addition to established software providers such as SAP and Oracle, there are also small vendors on the market. Companies that decide to deploy their field service planning with an appropriate tool are faced the challenge of choosing a suitable method for the evaluating and analyzing the market. The paper is devoted to development of the model for the evaluation of software tools in the context of field service management in the oil and gas industry. The first step of proposed methodology involved market screening to identify suitable software tools. In the next step, criteria were defined that needed to be tested to compare the tools. Finally, the outcome of the evaluation and additional requirements allowed for a benefit analysis. After the evaluation model was developed, it was applied on five selected software tools. SAP Field Service Management was ranked as the best product for a defined use case. The tools from Odyssee and Salesforce ranked similarly in the categories that refer to the functional aspects. The field service management tools from Fergus and ReachOut are both available for free with very limited functionalities, and reached rank four and five, respectively. The result of this work can be used by companies providing services in the oil and gas industry to evaluate field service management tools. Following the model, a structured process is provided to reduce the time needed for software evaluation. Future studies can build on this work and focus either on different software tools or a different industry.

Contribution Index

This study is about project risk management tools. The aim has been to identify which tools have the greatest potential for contribution to risk management processes in the Norwegian oil and gas industry, and which factors contribute to efficient risk management. Empirical data from the Norwegian industry have been gathered using a questionnaire. The results revealed strong relationships between project system complexity, average tool score and risk management contribution. Furthermore, the results of the analysis show that some of the previous recommendations of tools for project risk management may have been based on a restricted set of determinants. On the other hand, similarities are also found with previous research in terms of the highest ranked tools based on perceived contribution to the risk management performance. Compared to the previous findings, this study indicates that a new measure for project management performance is needed, and that the recommendation of tools based on the risk management contribution index may be flawed. Nevertheless, it is concluded that several of the recommended tools are of great value across industries.

Purpose This paper aims to report on the findings from a research project, incorporated by Iran’s Ministry of Petroleum, investigating the integration of inspection management with analysis of document information. Design/methodology/approach A combination of group and individual interviews were undertaken with qualitative methods of analysis to develop an integrated process model. The model developed uses integrity management factors, which allows flexibility and the early integration of inspection management systems at a strategic level, although detailed planning is still required through the use of integrated management tools. The model combines information on responsibilities, tasks and policies, of personnel in the inspection management of the piping system with the oil and gas industry. Findings The six inspection activities recognized for the main practical model are, namely, identify pipeline situation; inspect and measure defects; inspection assessment; design inspection; implement inspection activities and measure and report inspection. Originality/value This research presented not only a process but also the framework and techniques to manage and improve management effectiveness and inspection efficiency in pipelines of the oil and gas industry. This study will be useful to researchers maintenance professionals and others concerned with inspection and maintenance management of facilities and equipment in the oil and gas industry.

В процессе исследования рассмотрены теоретико-методические основы управления коррупционными рисками, а также изучены практические аспекты совершенствования инструментария управления коррупционными рисками на предприятиях нефтяной и газовой промышленности. В результате исследования разработан алгоритм оценки коррупционных рисков на предприятии нефтегазовой отрасли. Практическая значимость заключается в том, что реализация предложенного инструментария управления коррупционными рисками на предприятиях нефтяной и газовой промышленности позволит составить карту коррупционных рисков и сформировать набор индикаторов оценки коррупционных рисков, идентифицируемых на предприятиях нефтегазовой отрасли, с целью разработки мероприятий по минимизации коррупционных рисков наиболее эффективным образом. In the course of the study, the theoretical and methodological foundations of corruption risk management were considered, as well as the practical aspects of improving the tools for managing corruption risks at oil and gas enterprises. As a result of the study, an algorithm for assessing corruption risks at an oil and gas company was developed. The practical significance lies in the fact that the implementation of the proposed corruption risk management toolkit at oil and gas industry enterprises will make it possible to map corruption risks and form a set of indicators for assessing corruption risks identified at oil and gas enterprises in order to develop measures to minimize corruption risks in the most effective way.

The Canadian oil and gas industry has been particularly successful in establishing operations in Russia. The author argues that the Canadian penetration of Russia's byzantine legislation, regulation and bureaucracy is due to Canada's long history of governmental and commercial dealings with the former Soviet Union; to Canada's relatively low profile on the international political scene; and to the fact that those involved in the petroleum industries in Canada and Russia share similar experiences in terms of the problems posed by climate, geology and jurisdictional overlap in both countries, experiences which have led to mutual understanding and enhanced co-operation. The author provides an overview of the issues and options which confront a Canadian company in the process of establishing a viable operation in Russia. He suggests that patience, flexibility and long-term planning are the management tools required to succeed in Russia's fluid and complex legal and legislative environment.
