The Alternatives of Operation Planning on a Magnetic Whiteboard
IDS will present their thoughts around how oil and gas companies can use PlanNet to schedule operations and the necessary people and equipment in a more interactive, centralised, and efficient manner.
They will present the 'typical' problems and some of the solutions that have been developed thus far - not only from a scheduling perspective but also a tracking perspective.
Why the web? IDS will discuss limitations of traditional desktop applications and how moving your 'whiteboard to the web' is both safe, and a revolutionary step when it comes to rig and well planning - in that it is accessible from anywhere and on any device.
To gain insight into operational planning and tracking, become exposed to desktop applications and learn how to integrate them into corporate project systems, register today.
Presented by
Douwe Franssens,
General Manager
In his 5th year with IDS, Douwe has been instrumental in migrating traditional desktop and Excel based functions to the web and allowing universal access to operational data. Before joining IDS he spent 18 years with a Halliburton company focusing on Real Time data acquisition and transmission. Combined with the time spent with BosKalis a world leading Dutch dredging company, his career has relocated him to almost every continent, including Saudi Arabia, Qatar, UK, Malaysia, USA and Canada. The IT side of the industry has always fascinated him as a lot of the elements, including connectivity, are never following the accepted norm, which challenges those who implement solutions for clients to have to think outside the box. In addition to his managerial role at IDS, Douwe enjoys mentoring junior employees in their careers, giving them advise and encouragement when needed. For leisure Douwe practices judo (in his 39th year of practicing this martial art), and enjoys travelling with his family.
Reuben Wee,
Chief Technology Officer
Reuben is the Chief Technology Officer of Independent Data Services (IDS). He has been with IDS for more than 15 years and was instrumental in the early days when IDS moved from delivering software on floppy discs to delivering solutions over the web. He believes the biggest competitor to IDS should be IDS itself and to this end, his mission for IDS is to leapfrog itself. Prior to joining IDS, he was with Carigali-PTTEPI and Sime Darby Systems as a solutions architect focusing on the Oil and Gas industry.
For leisure, Reuben is also an avid cyclist and enjoys discovering the world on the saddle of his bicycle. Reuben also contributes his time to community services as well as social outreach programs to bring higher education and opportunities to children of the rural underprivileged.
