Expert On Demand is a Remote Mentor Solution that addresses the challenges Oil & Gas companies face.

Reduce Downtime with XoD

Each day offline for a typical 200,000-barrel-a-day refinery can mean almost $12 million in lost revenue. Many refineries average 27 days offline annually.

Offshore oil and gas facilities often halt operations while waiting to fly experts in by helicopter.

Expert on Demand’s remote mentor solution can reduce downtime from days to minutes by bringing experts on-site virtually, instantly.

Whether your workers are located in the Permian or on a ship crossing the Pacific, XoD’s remote mentor capabilities are an easy way to give them real-time guidance.

Managing complicated repairs remotely saves oil companies time and money.

Lower Operations Costs with XoD

As the number of experts shrinks, companies need to make the most of each valuable resource. Yet it can be both expensive and time-consuming to get workers out to remote drilling sites.

The Cisco Expert on Demand solution allows you to create a centralized pool of specialists who are virtually available at any time.

Instead of travelling the world, they are established at headquarters or branch offices to consult, guide, and advise.

This reduces the cost of transportation, labour, and expert downtime, and moderates personal risk to these important personnel.

Faster Knowledge Transfer

If all your workers had expert knowledge about all systems on a rig, you would be able to maintain high productivity at all times.

Trained industry experts are in increasingly short supply to help deal with planned – and unplanned–situations.

With XoD’s remote mentor features, one subject matter expert at your home office can advise several frontline workers at the same time, even if they’re spread out across the world.

Frontline workers equipped with the ATEX Zone 1 approved HMT-1Z1 ruggedized wearable computer allows the subject matter expert to see what they see and hear what they hear even in the most brutal conditions.

Optimise an Ageing Workforce

The average age of skilled workers is 54 years, and within the next decade, almost 50 percent of these veterans will retire.

With a growing expertise deficit, companies need to allocate available expert resources over more projects and geographies.

Cisco’s Expert on Demand solution brings experts to the rig through real-time video interaction, allowing them to view the problem, examine equipment, and talk with workers using ruggedized headsets.

This reduces the number of personnel in the field to lower health, safety, security, and environment (HSSE) risks, and it keeps experts productive longer.

Operate Efficient Plant Processes

Improving production efficiency by just ten percentage points can yield up to $260 million bottom-line impact on a single brownfield asset.

The ultimate goal of any industry is to operate low margin processes more smoothly and efficiently.

With XoD plant inspections can be performed efficiently, which has far-reaching effects given their critical importance.

The collaboration features of XoD also promotes faster response to emergencies and alerts. With easy access to field data and to experts around the world, a diverse team with a high quality of data is able to make better decisions more quickly.
