Providing Real-Time, Secure Information Access for
Partners, Clients & Customers
Sponsored by Covisint
Adrian Estala, Product Management – Shell
Companies must conduct business
with a variety of resources. Some
relationships are with vendors, others are
with multiple project partners, and still
others are with customers. to make these
relationships work, it requires flexibility,
reliability, and speed with the highest
level of security. As applications have
matured, access is now being granted in
layers – basic information for everyone,
and then specific access is created for users from other areas of
the organization (such as engineering, human resources, senior
staff members, investors and more). it has become critical
for companies to search out alternative choices to internally
provisioning access to their assets.
Utilizing Microsoft and Covisint solutions, this presentation will
discuss how Shell is able to provide a solution that gathers and
assigns specific roles to an individual, and defines application
access based on these roles. this solution leverages the
Microsoft Unified Access Gateway as network edge security
and token consumer ADFS, FiM as the security store, and
Covisint as the external federation gateway and external iDp
and for 2-factor authentication.

Scheduling of crew personnel and
equipment assets for fracturing of wells
for their Drilling clients had become
complex. Mission needed an easy,
visual way to assign and move crews

to be fractured. Multiple dependencies
impact the crew type and project
duration, and must follow the job, crew,
or asset, so that scheduling conflicts do not occur.
in this presentation, the speaker will discuss how this system is
being used and best practices for use to increase productivity
and efficiency.

The Path to Knowledge Transfer and Collaboration:
Platforms for Connecting Results with Direction in a
Changing E&P Landscape
Rick Beaubouef, Chief Geologist – Hess
Sponsored by 3Gig
To complement their value assurance
process, Hess has developed a common
system for subsurface evaluations
performed by asset teams throughout
the global E&P business. This system,
the Subsurface Milestone & Deliverables
(SMD), was designed to provide
guidelines for project management
and stewardship, define milestones for
the delivery of technical products, set
standards for integrity of technical products, and emphasize
timely collaboration, documentation and knowledge transfer.
In 2012, HESS began a project to develop an online platform
to house the SMD system and overcome the implementation
challenge. The presenter will discuss how the project evolved
to create the Hess Pathfinder2020. Pathfinder2020 is one of
several Hess applications of 3GiG’s Prospect Director™, which

Improving User Productivity by Integrating Business &
Petrotechnical Platforms
Sponsored by Schlumberger
Ricardo Ramirez, Geoscience Manager – Afren
Over the last several years, our joint Schlumberger and
Microsoft vision has always been to address the challenges
of E&P through a unified, familiar and open petrotechnical
computing environment that promotes collaboration,
accelerates innovation, amplifies insight and reduces risk.
In the same period, Schlumberger has established the Petrel
E&P software platform as the standard for petrotechnical
users and has sought to leverage the strength and ubiquity of
Microsoft’s technology. Over the years this development across
all scales of corporations has led to increasingly beneficial
technology synergies which now reach beyond Petrel into the
other software platforms from Schlumberger to deliver a shared
and common standard technical computing environment
for all petrotechnical functionality. With the release of the
Studio E&P Knowledge Environment, fully optimized for SQL
Server 2012, Schlumberger continues its commitment towards
addressing the new E&P challenges by offering a knowledge
management and data collaboration environment that will
improve users’ productivity. In this presentation, we will discuss
how the tight integration of the Microsoft business platform

organizations more freedom to focus on productivity and less
on the management of infrastructure.
