To meet its aggressive production growth targets, one of the largest oil companies in the world, required a solution that could improve efficiency and productivity, especially when times got tough for the oil industry.
Kuwait Oil Company (KOC) saw the optimization of its asset management process as its best option. These processes govern things such as production, equipment, facilities, transportation and infrastructure assets. In the case of KOC, they also extend into supporting activities that touch the lives of employees that keep its operation running: the procurement of medicines within its very own hospital system, tugboat operations that move tankers and the administrative offices that run its dedicated township.
By deploying the IBM Maximo for Oil and Gas solution across its operations, KOC improved its business processes, automated key workflows and improved productivity which as a result, freed up more resources for the company to commit to exploration and asset management. Both employees and business partners can use the Maximo technology to share information and collaborate, the kind of coordinated, data-driven decision making needed to truly optimize operations.
"Maximo has helped the company in improving its business processes, automating a number of business processes, automating workflows and reducing the paperwork. It is also reducing the need for the users and the business partners to communicate to access information, as all that information is now available online, easy to access," explains Asim Hussain, TPS Senior Specialist II, Corporate Information Technology, Kuwait Oil Company. #IBMClientVoices
