Currently, the field services industry is being overwhelmed by the amount of information flowing between stakeholders: new ESG policies, maps, reports, field data, photos, financials, and the list goes on. Spreadsheets and paper-based systems are still in use; meanwhile, outdated and hard-to-use GIS software does not offer much help. Without the proper tools, information is lost, deadlines are missed, costs are overrun, and time is wasted. These issues create massive delays and wasteful resources to oil & gas and environmental projects, directly impacting cost-effectiveness and the ability of businesses to drive towards a more sustainable future.

Too Many Tools For Too Many Data Formats

However, field services professionals have always had to deal with large arrays of data from a myriad of sources. For each project, teams work on various tasks, bringing information from the field, labs, government offices, and other sources.

During some project stages, quantitative data, as well as qualitative one or a mixture of both, would need to be examined. Majority of the time that would lead to numerous spreadsheets with sophisticated charts or interactive graphics, physical maps, and documents piling up. Data visualization comes in to support the operations in a form of information design tools that facilitate communication visually and enhance collaboration among professionals by modifying the representation of data for cross-board accessibility and ease of analysis.

Why would this be essential for better project management? At times, data can be sensitive and greatly depend on the time of delivery. In cases of delay, the company will have to carry all costs and push deadlines and completion estimations. And on top of it all, hundreds of permits, forms, spreadsheets, and maps are constantly being used by all team members, often organized & processed with a separate department-specific paid platform. A paper-based approach in project management is never an ideal strategy. However, for some reason, some companies resist the change towards software-based project management. On the other hand, those businesses that dare to shift operations into a new more visual data field, new efficiencies, and better collaboration are changing their game.
