Addax Petroleum: corporate-wide production data management across 52 African fields in under three months.
When a company decides to standardise its production data management across an entire African portfolio, the challenge isn’t just technical. It’s scale, speed, and consistency across a complex mix of onshore and offshore assets in multiple countries.
Addax Petroleum did it in under three months.
The operation.
Addax Petroleum is an international oil and gas exploration and production company with operations across West Africa and the Middle East. Their African portfolio has spanned Nigeria, Gabon, and Cameroon, with assets ranging from shallow-water offshore blocks to onshore producing fields.
Addax have operated across 52 fields in Africa, 41 of them operated, with production reaching over 140,000 barrels of oil per day across the portfolio.
The decision: one corporate standard across the whole portfolio
Managing production data across a portfolio of that scale and geographic spread, across multiple countries, multiple asset types, and multiple joint venture arrangements, requires a system capable of handling significant complexity consistently.
Addax made a corporate-wide decision to adopt the EnergySys Cloud Platform as its standard for production data management and reporting across all its African assets.
The reasons were straightforward. EnergySys offered the flexibility to handle a diverse asset base, the transparency and auditability that a regulated, multi-partner operation demands, and the ability to deploy rapidly without the overhead of a lengthy, resource-intensive implementation programme.
The implementation: 52 fields, under three months
The initial delivery was completed in under three months from receiving approval to proceed. Across 52 fields, spanning onshore and offshore assets in three countries, that is a rapid deployment by any measure.
The speed was made possible by the low-code nature of the platform. Configuration rather than custom development meant the team could move quickly without compromising on accuracy or auditability.
The bottom line.
A corporate-wide standardisation decision across a complex, multi-country African portfolio is not a small undertaking. Addax Petroleum chose EnergySys, deployed across all 52 fields in under three months, and has run a single production data management standard across its African operation ever since.
For operators managing diverse asset portfolios across multiple geographies, that combination of flexibility and deployment speed is exactly what the platform is built for.
