It is widely believed that upstream production can only be improved with the help of new technology. Celerant’s view – and two decades of experience in the industry – is that this isn’t necessarily the case.

Our way of engaging the client workforce at all levels – from the boardroom onshore to the platform offshore – focuses on getting the best out of what’s already in place. Whether it’s redesigning critical processes and systems, breaking down communication barriers, or looking at organisational structure, Celerant has proven that sustained production optimisation can be secured by looking inside the company.

Our recent results – a 0.75% increase in mature North Sea assets, or a 5% increase in a new Gulf development – show that technology is not always the answer.
