Overview

The Utilities industry forms the backbone of modern day societies and economies. Increasing supply constraints and environmental awareness can be found at the root of almost all these problems thus forcing the companies to reinvent the way the business should be run. The industry has been experiencing deregulation and privatization globally and there is a renewed interest in operational efficiency through asset and resource optimization. With the current state of regulatory environment and the unbundling in progress, the innovation involving business processes is going to decide the frontrunners in the industry.

Oil and Gas are considered among the world's most important resources. The oil and gas industry have been instrumental in playing a critical role in driving the global economy. The processes and systems involved in exploration, production, refining and marketing oil and gas are highly complex, capital-intensive and require state-of-the-art technology. The industry is witnessing huge energy demand because of some robust developed and developing economies, while the global sources of supplies remain unstable. As a result there has been a soar in consumer prices, high cost associated with exploration and production activities, intense pressure created to improve reserves, achieving production optimization and environmental compliance.
