The FME tool set is becoming ubiquitous in the oil and gas industry and is required to make sense of the vast amounts of data, both internal and commercial. Oil & Gas companies have numerous commercial, contracted and internal data sets and struggle to synthesize, load and get them to the right people and systems. FME helps these organizations save time and money by automating repetitive tasks while providing the ability to enrich data and add additional fields that improve decision making. LOGIC will describe how most Oil & Gas companies are using FME as well as detail some recent experiences at a large mid-tier upstream Exploration & Production company and an industry leading pipeline transportation company.
