Optimal Input: Scheduling software takes the guesswork out of optimizing project delivery
Nickle's New Technology
March 2008
“If this is the golden era of oilsands development, then it also comes with a price. Cost overruns, project delays and even cancellations are possible, if not likely, as companies struggle to cope with the new, over-heated reality surrounding their respective projects.
With escalating labour, material and other project costs mirroring the frenetic pace of oilsands development, the ability to optimize scheduling through advances in software solutions has became a necessity rather than a luxury. And that upwards pressure affects not just oilsands, but conventional oil and gas operations as well.
Actenum Corporation, which develops schedule optimization software solutions for the petroleum sector, is offering a product designed to enable organizations to rapidly and reliably schedule important assets and activities for maximum productivity, as well as aiding in understanding the impact of planning and scheduling decisions on daily operations.”
