Mobile Strategies for Oil And Gas Companies -

(Newswire.net — April 19, 2013) Calgary, AB — Mobile apps are the answer for oil and gas consultants who are hoping to streamline internal workflows in the oil & gas sector, as well as gain greater usability in the oilfields. Other areas where mobility will provide value include: workforce training, decision making, automation, support and engagement, and purchasing. Enterprise oil and gas mobility allows for greater productivity and safety for oil & gas companies and their employees.

At a recent meeting with oil and gas companies in Calgary, Scott Steele, spokesman for Oilfield Directory’s mobile app development team was asked, “The oil and gas industry is huge and diverse and do you see any particular area where enterprise mobile applications would be especially useful?

Mr. Steele explained, “I don’t know of a single sector in the oil and gas industry that couldn’t benefit from mobile app technology. From oil and gas exploration, upstream production, offshore drilling, to downstream production, mobile apps will help oil and gas companies attract new customers and keep existing ones. The oil and gas industry will benefit from apps by streaming workflows which will surely increase productivity.”

It is well known that a variety of mobile apps have been developed for the oil & gas sector. Apps such as rig count data, oil drilling locations, oil and gas jobs and more. As Mr. Steele stated while in top level meetings with Calgary oil and gas executives, mobile apps are being utilized by many different types of oil and gas companies and are proving effective in increasing productivity.

Mr. Steele went on to state, “An investment made in the development of an app will pay for itself in no time at all. The Oil & Gas marketplace is evolving because of increased competition, emergence of newer alternative energy, changes to energy policies, volatile markets, price margins, as well as the need for innovation and speedy adoption of the latest technologies.”

Deciding which mobile devices to target when planning to create a mobile application can be a challenge. When it comes to choosing a platform for mobile app development for oil & gas companies the purchasing department will want to ensure that they reach the most customers and increase company productivity.

So whichever platform they choose such as iPhone, iPad, Android, Blackberry or Windows, oil and gas decision makers need to realize it will be a challenging process to select the platform most suited to their organization.

Before making a decision they should talk to a qualified mobile app developer that has experience working with oil and gas companies; and can analyse the needs of the business or organization efficiently. With a view to budgeting some trade-offs may have to be made perhaps selecting one or two platforms at first or choosing a universal-platform option. By working with a company like Oilfield Directory that has already developed apps for the oil and gas industry they can suggest a program to utilize mobile technology and boost business efficiency in a cost-effective manner.

Oilfield Directory has been working with oil and gas companies in Alberta as well as globally since 1996.
