ExxonMobil’s EM2010 Program
• Vision:
• “By 2010, the integration of outstanding people, tools and technology with
common processes in an intelligent, visual subsurface work environment will
redefine world class asset performance.”
• Multi-disciplinary, multi-company effort:
• Increased integration across technical disciplines and functional companies
• General interest oversight of ongoing initiatives to ensure that all efforts are
aligned with a desired end state while capturing efficiencies
• Improvements in foundational areas such as data management concurrent
with the development of new capabilities
• Multiple opportunities evaluated based on efficiencies only
• Justified on “hard credits”
