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.
Several PPDM modules have been designed to support these operations; used in conjunction with other modules, they are intended to provide support for ongoing operations in a transactional system. The modules explained in this guide will commonly be used with nearly every other module in PPDM 3.7.
Business Process Overview
Notifications are sent to business associates to inform them about certain events. Contractual notifications are sent out to advise partners that something has happened with respect to the operations governed by the contract. Generally, the contract will spell out what operations can be handled with a notification and which will require consultations or votes.
During the process of obtaining consents and licences, you may keep track of notifications about meetings that are sent to associations and organizations. This information provides important verification about the process used to manage the consultations and may be necessary as evidence in the case of litigation or other legal conflict.
The Records Management module will help you keep track of the chain of custody of a document or other product and where receipts for registered mail have been stored, so you can find them if you need them.
