For Discussion Purposes
Despite the fall in oil prices, most oil and gas companies plan to invest the same
amount or more in digital technologies – NOW and in the FUTURE
How is the current phase of the crude cycle,
with lower oil prices, impacting your digital
technology spend in the short term?
Over the next 3-5 years, how much is your
company planning to invest in digital
technologies?
Despite low oil prices, 6 out of 10 companies plan to
invest the same or more in digital technologies.
80% of oil and gas companies plan to invest the
same or more in digital technologies in the future.

mFDC addresses “Big Data” by streamlining business processes and workflows
through electronic data collection
mFDC addresses the “Big Data” characteristics of:
Volume (sheer quantity of data), Velocity (the speed
which data is available and can be used) and Variety
(structured and unstructured data; Veracity (data
quality, confidence of analysis) and Value
• Improves data veracity: Data can be time-
stamped, validated and associated with the
correct wells. Supporting data including note-
taking and photos can be appended to support
observations.
• Improves data velocity: Real-time access,
subject to network availability, for engineers to
extract and to perform value-added analysis with
the data.
• Improves data value: Pre-defined reports to be
automatically generated and distributed based
on requirements.
• Manages data variety and data volumes:
Consolidate, manage and store disparate data of
different types (e.g. images, GPS coordinates,
barcodes, RFID tags, voice, video, e-signatures,
etc.) for record keeping and auditing.

Synegys’mFDC captures incoming information, automatically applies it into
business processes,and manages process and resulting cases
Replace paper forms with
mobile forms….
…to improve workflows...
Through electronic data collection,
volumes of data can be quickly
integrated with a variety of
information sources to ensure data
veracity and to automate information-
driven processes.
This makes the entire ecosystem
around critical processes like safety
audits, time sheets, inspections,
quality controls, facility management
handled in a much more fashionable
way.
…resulting in superior well
and reservoir management
Paper is a convenient medium for
workers to capture data, but paper-
based processes are slow and error
prone; they also obscure operational
visibility and limit collaboration.
Synegys provides oil and gas
companies the ability to dynamically
create and track the information
incident-specific requirements
of production processes. This helps
companies empower both employees
and partners by delivering data in
context across multiple data sources.
With Synegys, oil and gas companies
can improve the speed and quality of
their business processes by providing
the information needed for enhanced
decision making, exception handling
and problem resolution resulting in:
• Lower operating costs
• Improved collaboration
• More agile processes
• Increased efficiency
• Better information quality
• Greater productivity
• Improved compliance
