“Optimizing Decisions in Equinor: an approach to collaborative subsurface decisions”
KEYNOTE SPEAKER: Tobias Müller Project Leader - Decision Optimization at Equinor
ABSTRACT:
Tobias will present Equinor’s Decision Optimization R&D project and its ongoing journey to embed Decision Quality within the subsurface domain. This is not just about adopting a methodology and tools, but also about shifting towards an integrated, efficient and collaborative decision-making process based on well-established concepts of Decision Quality. During the first pilots, the application of framing and structuring in decision-making processes has shown clear benefits of organized collaboration and communication. The team also identified the need for a new software tool that can support the process in a collaborative environment for an improved implementation of the Decision Quality process. Such a tool aims at facilitating collaboration, knowledge sharing, and benchmarking, ultimately modernizing decision deliveries and is currently under prototype development by Equinor.
