EY helps oil and gas companies deliver financial, operational and sustainable outcomes across the value chain while building the future of energy.

From downhole to the pump and everywhere in between — oil and gas companies need to maximize operations, amplify capital, manage emissions and build for tomorrow. And they must do so while facing supply, demand, geopolitical and pricing shifts as well as evolving customer, stakeholder and shareholder expectations.

When navigating this complex landscape, differentiated skills matters. Our teams have experience working in the field as geologists and engineers; with the business evaluating and executing transactions; and as technologists and data scientists implementing leading-edge technologies to drive results. We work with oil and gas companies to understand their problems, their requirements, and ultimately implement solutions that help create value without disruption.

The support you need to maximize operations end to end

  • Subsurface (exploration, drilling and completions)
  • Field operations (onshore, offshore, refining and chemicals)
  • Maintenance and turnarounds
  • Supply chain
  • Back office (land, tax, finance, procurement)

Capabilities

We help business units enhance efficiency, safety, production and value

The problem

An oil and gas company needs to increase asset profitability and productivity across the full value chain in all stages of exploration, production, processing and distribution, and mitigate costs linked to end-to-end supply chain, unexpected downtime and unplanned maintenance.

The solution

We help organizations implement data-informed, technology-enabled and people-centric business transformation solutions to drive business outcomes. We use cloud computing, analytics, modeling, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning to optimize production with real-time data and integrate surface and subsurface approaches that manage volume expectations and ultimate recovery. 

  • We define and implement holistic transformation strategies.
  • We connect data sources, automate processes and integrate technology to enable operations centers.
  • We use AI to predict and prevent delays and downtime.
  • We put actionable, timely data and insights into the hands of frontline engineers, operators and leaders.

    The support you need to create value from ESG data

    • Compliance
    • Trusted tracking, reporting systems
    • End-to-end data connectivity
    • Strategic and operational impacts

    Capabilities

    We help unlock value by connecting sustainability data to decision-making

    The problem

    An international oil and gas company needs to create a formal system that accurately and transparently captures and stores emissions, water and waste data. Currently, that data is spread across multiple geographies and business functions and tracked using labor-intensive processes.

    The solution

    We help companies identify, track and mitigate sustainability-related data across the value chain. Not only is this beneficial for compliance, but it also enables safer, more sustainable operations and the development of new low-carbon businesses.

    • We learn the current data landscape: technology, systems, platforms, processes and people.
    • We deploy work streams to optimize and connect siloed stakeholders, functions, data and systems.
    • We implement technology and processes that enable comprehensive, trusted and transparent tracking. 
    • We identify opportunities to use tracked data for better strategic and operational decision-making.
