IPA Industries
and Areas
The Exploration and Production (E&P) sector dominates the capital expenditures of major petroleum companies. Over the past several years dramatic escalation of project costs in this sector have threatened to erode the economic returns of these projects despite historically high oil and natural gas prices.
In addition, E&P expenditures are expanding from well-understood areas with existing infrastructure to more less hospitable operating environments. E&P companies are further challenging themselves to accelerate production to improve profitability as shorter schedules become a paramount goal of project management. As larger amounts of capital are risked in faster and more challenging projects, efficient and effective capital project management becomes even more critical for outstanding corporate financial results.
