It is a good time for holistic thinkers to be building a career in oil and gas.
Operators can no longer aord for employees to keep their heads down,
focused on only one or two distinct tasks. Employees, and the technologies
they use, must facilitate the flow of information throughout a business, so
that operations can become significantly smarter. Young engineers must
quickly learn to be business managersto not only build a reliable well, but
build it in a cost-eective way. Similarly, young business people must
understand how resource constraints aect reserves and production
optimization.
Landmark defined the upstream software industry over thirty years ago and
is now transforming it for the new generation of oil and gas professionals.
