theFeed interviews Fred Cornell, an Oil and Gas operations veteran and former manager from Devon Energy. Fred talks to us about keeping up with changes over four decades, contraction in the 80s, challenges with data in O&G and how business and IT can impact the bottom line today.

Fred shares the biggest challenge for Oil and Gas operators that has remained constant throughout the years - disparate data in different systems. He explains that importance of all industry personnel (geologists, engineers, and accountants) having the ability to pull up production and drilling data at the same time. As well as operational and financial data. There is no reason they should go to different places to integrate this data.

Watch the video as Fred shares the need for Oil and Gas operators to pair technical effectiveness with operational efficiency to achieve excellence in any market condition.
