CGI signed an agreement to operate and further develop an IT system that manages oil and gas activities on the Norwegian continental shelf and internationally. The agreement with Exploration and Production Information Management Association (EPIM) has a total value of EUR 9M over four years. EPIM is owned by companies engaged in exploration, production and transportation in Norway’s offshore petroleum industry.
This agreement extends and expands the partnership between the two companies. Since 2009, CGI has developed, maintained and operated the cloud-based License2Share (L2S) with EPIM. This solution provides operators, partners, engineering companies and governments with common IT tools to use in their day-to-day work. L2S gathers key information for the oil and gas industry in a common application, and then facilitates secure and efficient information sharing, both within each company’s respective operating licenses and between the various players in the industry.
Under the new agreement, CGI will assume responsibility for operating L2S to support exploration on the Norwegian continental shelf and internationally until 2017. During this time, CGI will continue to operate an L2S solution for international oil and gas exploration. CGI will upgrade the L2S portal and user interface leveraging an OpenText portal solution as well as standardise and enhance all EPIM end-user support agreements.
