Pan American Energy has decided to perform migration to InfoProd Zafiro after using InfOil’s InfoProd for twelve years.

Pan American Energy was formed more than a decade ago by the merger of Amoco and Bridas, oil companies that managed their production through InfOil S.A.’s InfoProd. By the time the merger was effected, Pan American decided to continue using InfoProd to manage the new company oil fields.

Migration project to InfoProd Zafiro will involve data, information and processes for over 4,000 active wells and the most important field in Argentina. As from April 2011, InfOil will start the migration process, providing the necessary support and experience to ensure a successful migration.

Tecpetrol, an oil and gas company owned by Techint Group, is growing steadily worldwide with operations in Argentina, Ecuador, Venezuela, Mexico and USA.

Tecpetrol has managed its oil fields’ production using InfOil S.A.’s InfoProd for over ten years, and has decided to migrate from InfoProd to InfoProd Zafiro due to the complexity involved in Tecpetrol expansion process.

This migration is motivated by InfoProd Zafiro’s world class-leading technology, that provides flexibility and integration capabilities that will allow the parent company to monitor global operations as closely as local operations, enhanced by the incorporation of a great number of benefits over its latter version.

In the last quarter of 2010, Canadian company Gran Tierra Oil invited world leading oil & gas software companies to tender.

After a strict evaluation process, which involved pilot field tests, IT and production professionals selected InfoProd Zafiro as the tool that best meets their needs to follow up production operations. 

 The system is expected to be fully implemented in Argentina, Canada, Colombia, Brazil and Peru by mid-2011.

InfOil’s ISO-9001:2008 certification includes all processes associated to design, development, support and commercialization of software solutions for the Oil and Gas industry.

A regular annual audit was performed by Bureau Veritas early 2010.  InfOil included for this audit the migration to the newest version of the norm, ISO-9001:2008. Certification and migration were both successfully certified by Bureau Veritas and the ANSI-ASQ National Accredition Board.

InfOil’s original certification was performed early 2008 and ever since has been able to maintain and improve quality control processes and systems by applying constant monitoring and improvement of its internal processes.

              

Geopark’s implementation was performed using Zafiro, InfOil’s advanced development platform oriented towards solutions for the Hydrocarbon Industry.

InfoProd Zafiro is a user friendly and customizable environment, providing several competitive advantages when it comes to deploy a Hydrocarbon Production Management Solution. Deployment time as well as user learning curves continue to exceed InfOil customer’s expectations.

“Habiendo trabajado en distintas empresas del rubro, participé en varias implementaciones de software para el manejo de Producción, desde desarrollos nacionales hasta otros desarrollados corporativamente para su implementación global.

Como líder del proyecto de Data Managment en GeoPark, a la hora de elegir cual software se adaptaba mejor a nuestras necesidades, terminamos eligiendo InfoProd Zafiro de InfOil ya que encontramos varias ventajas frente a los demás softwares analizados. El factor fundamental fue su entorno amigable y totalmente “customisable”, lo que otorga una muy buena facilidad para la carga de datos haciendolo muy “user friendly”. En base a la experiencia que tenia, sabia que este era un factor fundamental en el proyecto, ya que estos sistemas “nacen” en el campo, y si los mismos no se pueden adaptar a las necesidades y capacidades de los operadores, quien en definitiva son los nutren de información al sistema, el fracaso estaba asegurado. Nuestros 2 axiomas de partida fueron:

“Cualquier cambio o programa que vamos a introducir, tiene que reflejarse en una disminución en la carga de trabajo del personal de geopark”

“Debemos encontrar un sistema que se adapte a nuestras necesidades y no al revez”

Con InfOil pudimos cumplir plenamente con nuestros objetivos.”
