Odfjell Drilling selects IFS Applications
IFS, the global enterprise applications company, announces that the international drilling, engineering & well service company Odfjell Drilling has selected IFS Applications™ for Offshore Service. The contract includes licenses and the first phase of the implementation project.
Odfjell Drilling Group is an international drilling contractor providing mobile offshore drilling units for harsh environment and ultra deepwater drilling operations, platform drilling, engineering and well services. The company currently operates five modern drilling units in Norway, Tanzania, Angola and Brazil and performs drilling services on 20 production installations in the North Sea.
The global nature of its onshore and offshore operations meant that the company needed a full-suite industry solution to support its international growth and contribute to business excellence. After a thorough evaluation process, Odfjell Drilling chose IFS Applications for Offshore Service.
“Our expectations of IFS Applications are high. We expect it to support our work to improve data quality for improved decision making, to improve business processes and increase predictability in our drilling and engineering services,” said Odfjell Drilling CEO Simen Lieungh.
“We are very pleased to be able to welcome Odfjell Drilling to our growing list of customers in the offshore services segment,” IFS Scandinavia CEO Glenn Arnesen said. “The oil and gas industry represents a strategic long-term focus for IFS and we can look back on a large number of important customer wins over the past year. We look forward to assisting Odfjell with our industry solution and expertise to achieve streamlined business processes and profitable growth.”
The IFS solution includes support for project management, financials, supply chain management, and human resources. The solution is also equipped with full support for the complex legal requirements that regulate the Brazilian market, as well as IFS Instant Replication, enabling rapid data replication between offshore rigs and onshore facilities.
