A new regime for innovation and technology management in the E&P industry

McKinsey Research Project

July 2001

010731Technology in E&P-main pack.ppt.ppt

The E&P industry is technologically one of the most advanced


The E&P industry has been, and still is at the leading edge of many technologies. It was the key driver behind the explosive growth in computing power during the 70s and 80s and many high-impact new technologies (e.g. 3D seismic, horizontal wells, FPSOs) fully penetrated the market in the 90s. Today it continues to integrate advanced software, material science and robotics.

Leaders in the E&P industry are struggling to capture the full potential from technology
Technology related concerns Strategy: How could we build a distinct strategy based on our technological capabilities? Why of current interest: Many companies have failed to leverage their technological strength in a holistic strategy Investments have been very cyclical good projects stopped despite huge long-term potential

Investments in new technology: Should we fund technology development, if so how ?

Organization: How should we organize/work to maximize value creation from new technologies?

Recent organizational trend has resulted in less willingness and capacity for new technologies

Sourcing: How could we work with our suppliers to maximize value creation from new technology?

Currently there are limited incentives for suppliers to push forward new technologies

A new regime for innovation and technology management in the E&P industry

New technologies are required to meet the opportunities and challenges in the E&P industry

Innovation and introduction of new technologies in E&P is inefficient

The conduct of E&P companies and OFSEs is the prime cause of this inefficiency

This technology gap is an opportunity for value creation provided that a new regime for technology management is successfully introduced

The consequence is that nobody takes responsibility for long-term R&D

Long term R&D

E&P companies

Service companies

Technology is not
core Technology will become available we will then be fast followers Institutes / academia

We are not paid for Duplication Lack resources Lack of practical


exposure and business judgment that It could even hurt our business And do we know what they need?

Different opinions persist regarding the shift in approach to R&D


OFSEs can do long term R&D We used to have an R&D department but shut it down we trust in the service sector (or other E&P companies) to do the breakthrough R&D OFSEs cannot do long term R&D Dont expect anything real new from the big OFSEs We tried to get an OFSE engaged in our long term project, but they thought it was too far a way to go -- we had to do it ourselves

Small technology company

We are more hungry and efficient than E&P companies internal departments, and thus create higher impact R&D. But E&P must finance it, OFSEs do not want to finance long term R&D Independent R&D institution

All vital functions within assets

Functional organisation
Strengths: High attention on R&D and strategic technology development Easy to enforce consistent technology and methodology approaches across fields Issues: Weak business coordination within asset (e.g. how to proactively optimise infrastructure through satellite tie-ins) Focus towards disciplines generates academic interests that might not pay off Too complex when many fields

Asset-based organisation

Safety concerns also limit the willingness of E&P organisations to test new technologies
With the governments current focus on safety, it is very difficult to get support for using any technology that does not have a proven track record

With a mindset of selling products rather than value some companies hold technologies back
We were not engaged in wireline logging, and therefore pushed MWD aggressively at an early stage

We would rather sell a large number of commodity wells than a few advanced ones

Baker Hughes An OFSE

We contacted one of the big service companies to get their support in developing our new technology. They were positive, but nothing materialised. They had all kinds of excuses, but after a while we realised that they were not really interested in success due to their existing service line

60

010731Technology in E&P-main pack.ppt.ppt

Some companies have focused on selling value and have been innovative

PGS has been a pioneer in developing a business model focused on


selling value rather than just sell products They have (as a result?) been pioneers and technology pushers within the both the seismic business (3D acquisitions and processing, vertical cable acquisitions, 4C-seismic) and small field production (FPSOs). However, they have not (yet?) capitalised on many of their inventions, e.g 4C seismic Unlike other OFSEs, they have taken significant geological and reservoir risks
61

010731Technology in E&P-main pack.ppt.ppt

Smaller companies have major difficulty in accessing E&P companies

E&P companies are listening only to the three big OFSEs. Therefore we do not get access to E&P companies with our slimhole technology that will reduce drilling cost by An 50% OFSE

Our company is built to flip [sell company], we dont get anywhere alone marketing etc. will be far too expensive

In summary, several barriers impede the four key drivers of technology


Strategy
Weak understanding of strategic rational for being a technology leader Lack of ability to identify and execute on a technology based strategy Ambiguity about whether technology is core business Notion that being a technology free-rider makes sense Easy to be fast follower - no efficient patent protection Lack of companies taking the shaper role Lack of stability in funding Lack of elephants to sponsor new technologies Each downturn has resulted in unreasonable cut in good projects Especially difficult to fund field test phase none take the responsibility Lack of tools to do valuation of new technologies insufficient funding Limit Venture Capital available Organisational conservatism and risk aversion in technology decisions Power moved from center to assets less strategic/holistic perspective Increased focus on short term performance targets uptime focus Safety, health and environmental issues driver for using known technology Homogenous demographics and strong professions wild ideas stopped Lack of talents with time and incentives to engage in new technology Lack of openness for external ideas (the not-invented-here syndrome)

Funding

Sourcing

Insufficient cooperation with technology suppliers Significant cannibalization issues stops suppliers from pushing technologies Contracts has wrong incentives - sell products/hours rather than value Independent players with great ideas/products have limited access Poor set-up of many joint industry projects lack ofwin-win incentives 63

A new regime for innovation and technology management in the E&P industry

New technologies are required to meet the opportunities and challenges in the E&P industry

Innovation and introduction of new technologies in E&P is inefficient

The conduct of E&P companies and OFSEs is the prime cause of this inefficiency

This technology gap is an opportunity for value creation provided that a new regime for technology management is successfully introduced

Determining your role

Observations that say Lead

Observations that say Follow

The demand for new oil will be huge


Lack of appropriate technology is still a show stopper for many fields

The macro trend in most industries is that


value chains are split up into global niches dominated by technology specialists, i.e. it is difficult for users like E&P companies to keep ahead as leaders Intellectual property rights are not easily obtained/enforced

New geographies are opening up


Technology could be the ticket to entry

Technology companies have not had the


strengths or interests to be shapers of breakthrough technologies

Also in Oil and Gas we see that


technology companies are taking over R&D and a larger part of the value chain

The capacity for innovation and technology


development is currently low

It is not obvious that a single approach (leader or follower) to all E&P technologies is the best strategy
68

Speed

Develop a flexible organisation to respond to opportunities


Networks

Develop internal and external global networks with other companies Keep visible possible new technology clusters on the horizon
Deal Making

Gain access to new opportunities and add value by applying technology


Contractor relationships

Leverage relationship with contractors to track knowledge on new technology clusters and
potential opportunities for application Superior operating and development performance

Application of new technologies under a performance culture to extract the best in class
performance
Willingness to accept new technologies from outside as well as inside the company

Cultivate a culture that willingly accepts and understands the introduction of new technologies
72

010731Technology in E&P-main pack.ppt.ppt

Select what role you want to play for each technology cluster
Examples

Look at clusters of technologies

For each cluster, take deliberate decisions on


where to be leader and where to be follower based on: Value potential of the technology Overall and business area strategy Current and future assets Technological capabilities Organisational capacity Technology status by suppliers Competitors ambitions and actions Governments expectations etc.

There are four main technology strategies for each technology cluster
Description Be an innovator but keep cards close Actively use patents as protection Establish internal R&D projects Corporate initiatives BU or cross-BU Leader When to use When technology is of key strategic importance and could give unique competitive differentiation (none/little to gain from others), and risk is acceptable Description When to use

Be architect/facilitator When technology is of Lead and drive through key financial and strategic
collaborative efforts JV / JIP Alliances/partnerships Corporate venture capital importance, but company believes that joint R&D is most efficient, lacks some skills and/or wants to share the risk

Innovate Lead and and protect collaborate Prepare and adapt Internal Pick and play External Description Keep watch over development Adopt fast when commercially available When to use When technology is of moderate importance, but others are better positioned to drive it, and it is easily available in the market 75
