Stronger oil and gas operations begin with connected data

Oil and gas companies are managing aging assets, rising operating costs, changing environmental requirements, cybersecurity risks and increasing pressure to improve production.

Many organizations are also exploring AI, automation and predictive maintenance. However, these technologies deliver the greatest value when built on connected operations.

AI relies on trusted information. When maintenance, operations, finance, procurement and supply chain teams work across disconnected systems, it becomes difficult to gain a complete view of the business.

Platned helps energy organizations connect people, assets and data with IFS Cloud, improving operational performance while creating a stronger foundation for future innovation.

The challenge is connecting operational information

Oil and gas companies already generate vast amounts of operational data. The challenge is bringing it together.

Production systems, maintenance applications, finance platforms and spreadsheets often operate independently, making it harder to:

• Respond quickly to equipment issues.
• Optimize maintenance schedules.
• Reduce production downtime.
• Control operating costs.
• Meet regulatory requirements.
• Make informed decisions.

A connected environment gives every team access to the same trusted information.

Build resilience through better asset management

Reliable assets are essential across offshore platforms, drilling equipment, pipelines and processing facilities.

Modern enterprise asset management provides complete visibility of asset health, allowing maintenance teams to identify potential failures earlier, prioritize work based on risk, extend equipment life and reduce unnecessary maintenance.

IFS customers have reported:

• A 30% improvement in asset lifetime.
• A 25% improvement in maintenance productivity.
• A 40% reduction in production downtime.
• A 30% increase in equipment utilization.

These improvements support safer operations, stronger production performance and more predictable costs.

Connected data creates the foundation for AI

AI should enhance operational expertise, not replace it.

When data is connected, AI can help organizations detect equipment issues earlier, recommend maintenance activities, improve spare parts planning, optimize workforce scheduling and identify operational risks before they escalate.

Without reliable data, AI simply delivers unreliable insights.

Improve performance across the organization

Maintenance, production, supply chain and finance are closely connected.

A modern ERP platform brings these functions together, helping organizations improve planning, reduce manual work, strengthen collaboration, increase financial visibility and make faster decisions using one trusted source of information.

Simplify compliance

Connected systems bring together inspections, emissions, permits, maintenance records, work orders and asset history in one platform.

This improves visibility, simplifies audits and helps organizations respond more efficiently to changing regulations. IFS customers have reported a 15% improvement in regulatory compliance team productivity.

Technology should support people

Successful digital transformation is about helping employees make better decisions.

Engineers spend less time searching for information, maintenance planners work with accurate asset data, operations leaders gain real-time visibility and executives can make decisions with greater confidence.

Technology becomes an enabler, not another system to manage.

Proven value across the energy industry

Organizations using IFS have reported:

• A 22% increase in productivity.
• A 30% increase in equipment utilization.
• A 30% improvement in asset lifetime.
• A 25% improvement in maintenance productivity.
