Has this happened to you?
"Since we started multi-well pads, it has been hard to keep all our groups from stepping on each other’s toes”
"I have to gather working schedules from 4 different departments to figure out when my project will be finished”
“When the drilling took longer than planned on the pad, it threw the frac schedule off for the rest of the year”
"Our drilling schedule changes so fast, it is out of date before I even print it”
Energy projects have changed, but the scheduling challenges still remain.
Every project needs a comprehensive schedule from start to finish. When you include all phases of development from land and regulations through facilities construction and tie-in, a clear picture of your project timeline emerges.
Let ForeSource give your team visibility of all phases of your projects.
Scheduling
Breaking a project into phases is the best way to model a complicated project. ForeSource allows you to break your project into as many sub-phases as you need. You can even break those phases into sub-phases. ForeSource allows you to make your project schedule as granular as the project requires.
“When can I start?” That is the most important question for any phase of a project. ForeSource allows you to create smart dependencies that will automatically adjust tasks in your schedule as conditions change.
By creating links between phases, such as “Framing must begin at least 7 days after Foundation ends” or anchoring tasks to dates “Permit Application must begin by April 1”, ForeSource will adjust the phases of your schedule according to your rules.
Communication
For a project to be successful, the whole team needs access to the most up-to-date information. ForeSource is owned and maintained by your entire organization.
From field to office, scheduling information comes from those closest to the project. As a fully functional mobile application, the project schedule can be created or updated wherever your team is.
