For Immediate Release: SAS Middle East, the leader in Business Intelligence applications, has announced its participation in the upcoming Middle East Oil & Gas Show to be held between 12th and 15th March in Bahrain. MEOS (Middle East Oil & Gas Show) is considered the region’s most specialized exhibition in its category attracting the major players in the petroleum field.
“At SAS, we have seen our customers shift their focus from the pursuit of efficiencies promised by operational systems to a desire to squeeze greater return from their IT investments through applications that can deliver in-depth intelligence’ says Basel Tutunji, Regional Manager, SAS Middle East. ‘True business insight is about more than making smart investments in individual technologies. It is about what happens when those individual technology areas come together into a synergistic system. SAS®9 the latest version of SAS software provides an open and extensible Intelligence Platform that integrates component capabilities into a single, unified framework which we call SAS Intelligence Value Chain” adds Mr. Tutunji.
“In the oil and gas industry upstream operators are under increasing pressure to make better use of their aging assets and diminishing reserves, while reducing exploration and development costs’ says Mitri Muna, Business Development Manager ‘Oil & Gas, Manufacturing Market’ SAS Middle East. ‘While the downstream operators must grapple with logistics of transportation and security, huge investments in refinery and distribution facilities, and uncertainty as to where and when market demand will appear’ he adds. ‘SAS Solutions for the Oil & Gas Industry combine award-winning software and best-practice services to transform masses of data about such operations, supply chain, risks, assets, and profitability into strategic business intelligence – the fuel for competitive advantage.’
During MEOS 2005 SAS will showcase SAS® Rock X Log Correlation, an application developed for PetroBras (Petróleo Brasileiro S/A). The application enables PetroBras to reduce the number of wells drilled in the exploratory phase and allows better positioning of the well, improving the chances of finding oil.
SAS will also showcase the Strategic Performance Management Solution adopted by ConocoPhilips Norway. The solution, a real-life scenario, improved key areas of the business and its operations, enabled more options in the planning process and realigned the execution process.
‘PetroBras, Wellogix and ConocoPhilips Norway were able, after the SAS implementation, to see the bigger picture and thus plan activities and target resources more effectively. The applications and solutions will be available on our stand during MEOS where everyone can experience, first-hand, true end-to-end business intelligence in context,”says Mr. Muna.
