Valuable intelligence and actionable insights
The energy industry features a unique, often confounding combination of highly advanced scientific knowledge, precision engineering, and established best practices on the one hand, and pure, blue-sky speculation and high-risk, large-scale investment on the other. For example, many oil and gas exploration and production (E&P) often involves:
- Large portfolios: Dozens or hundreds of plays, prospects, and projects
- Global scope: Opportunities spanning multiple regions, countries, and geographies
- Technical complexity: Factors including subsurface geology, applied geophysics, engineering, and operations
- Financial fluctuation: Cost and profit variation based on market dynamics, national regulation, regional geopolitics, and global economics


Given inherent uncertainty and risk, any additional insight or incremental advantage can yield sizable dividends, including reduced costs, increased returns, and faster ROI.
Visiv makes this possible with a next-generation technology platform to support business-specific applications that integrate seamlessly with existing infrastructure, providing unparalleled visibility, valuable intelligence, and reliable decision support. With Visiv, you can:
- Evaluate productivity and profit potential across an entire portfolio
- Capture and assess insights from any area of the business
- Address emerging opportunities with speed and confidence
PAIN POINTS
Addressing Key Industry Challenges
Within one of the most technically advanced, innovation-focused industries, labor-intensive, hands-on processes are still commonplace. Even large, successful companies routinely manage data manually using spreadsheets and shared drives, relying on ad hoc processes for knowledge sharing and individual judgment calls for decision-making. This approach creates bottlenecks and blind spots, increases risk, and can have costly consequences.
Visiv eliminates these issues with comprehensive solutions to standardize and digitize key information and processes in your organization. Gain visibility across the enterprise, rapidly surface accurate information and valuable insights, automate complex processes, and confidently assess performance and potential with this versatile platform.

Success in the energy sector can depend on seeing the unseen, knowing the unknowable, and predicting the future. Ongoing fluctuation in supply and demand, costs and pricing, regulation, competition, and other factors can impact business results. This can make achieving sustainable—let alone optimal—profits more art than science, with major decisions often coming down to judgment calls.
Visiv overcomes this challenge by empowering you with complete, accurate, and timely information, putting all of the data and expertise of your entire organization at your fingertips. From investment decisions based on quantifiable profit potential, to assessing productivity with precision, Visiv arms you with actionable information to move your business forward.

Successful companies in the energy industry often enjoy sizable budgets and significant margins. This capital can fuel large-scale exploration and production activities, but many projects are never completed, and ROI can vary widely across a portfolio. Many companies struggle to minimize risk, maximize reward, and even quantify key metrics like potential and actual production, project cost, revenue, and profit. This can result in suboptimal performance, missed opportunities, and unrealized potential.
Visiv reduces the unknown by giving you on-demand access to vital intelligence and full visibility across your organization. This means you can make confident decisions based on complete, accurate, current, and relevant information. Even better, Visiv can provide answers that aren’t possible using traditional methods and technology, proactively surface valuable insights, and provide predictive recommendations to help optimize your business results.
