Does a merger or acquisition threaten to overwhelm your organisation with torrents of documents and data?

Background

In August 2017, Total SE acquired the Exploration & Production assets of Maersk Oil and became the second-largest operator in the North Sea. The data and information from Maersk included over 320 million files, amounting to 4 Petabyte of disk space. From an early stage, Total Upstream Denmark (TUDK) engaged Flare Solutions to help with the integration effort.

Key Challenges

• Deal with the influx of huge data sets; understand what exists and what to do with it
• Maintain daily operations; minimise disruption and maintain minimised risk
• Understand what vendor and seismic spec data Total were entitled to
• Simplify the management of the information

Olivier Mairal, Head of Data Integration at Total, said

“…from experience, a standard approach on a similar scope would have taken about 20 years to do this manually with one-person EFT and a significant saving in terms of budget. The transition project was a success and delivered on time. My team did a great job, and Flare Solutions’ consultants and tools were also solid contributors to this success”.
