Introduction
Day to day business operations in the Energy sector are highly interactive, requiring constant interaction, discussion and negotiation between stakeholders. Permissions must be requested and granted before operations may commence, either from partners or from regulatory or jurisdictional agencies. Partner relationships must be proactively managed to ensure that all contractual conditions and obligations are handled in an appropriate and timely fashion. Relationships with regulatory agencies and local organizations are necessary to ensure that operations conform to local and federal requirements, legislation and regulations.
Good communication, accurate records and effective work practices are necessary to support these operations. This means that workflows, records and business objects such as wells or seismic data must be tightly integrated. At each step in a workflow, questions about who is doing what, what steps are required next, where documents that pertain to a particular function can be found and how various business processes affect other processes must be answerable.
Applications are submitted whenever a business associate wishes to undergo an operation for which approval is required. Applications are made by an operator to partners in order to obtain consent to spend money or perform some work. Usually, the situations that require (or don’t require) consent from partners are outlined in a contract.
Companies that want to conduct work in an area governed by one or more regulatory agencies also make applications before work may begin. In this case, the company will submit an application that describes the work to be done, includes one or more fees and shows how regulatory requirements have been (or are being) addressed. In some cases, a company may need to submit applications to more than one agency or group.
Applications are usually accompanied by a variety of supporting material such as reports, maps and photos. It is important for both the applicant and the reviewing agency to keep track of these attachments and what has been done with them. The Records Management module in PPDM was designed to keep track of this information.
Work flows and processes exist in energy companies and in regulatory agencies; it is useful to keep track of the status of an application as it is created and processed so that you know what has been done and what still needs to be done. The Projects module in PPDM was designed to help users do this.
