OVERVIEW

What This Means for You

Oil and gas companies manage high-value assets, complex partnerships, long supply chains and strict health, safety and environmental requirements. Operators, service companies and downstream businesses all need reliable data to control cost and risk.

SAP S/4HANA provides the core for these operations. Joint venture accounting splits costs and revenues between partners, plant maintenance manages wells, pipelines and facilities, procurement controls contracts and services, and the Universal Journal gives one view of cost across assets and partners.

SAP's oil and gas industry solutions extend the core for upstream, midstream and downstream needs, such as hydrocarbon accounting and secondary distribution.

Webtel delivers S/4HANA using SAP Activate, starting from SAP best practices and industry content. Fit-to-standard workshops show your teams how processes work in the standard system, so changes are limited to what genuinely sets your business apart. That keeps the core clean, makes upgrades easier and shortens the project.
