Peer reviews at Hess indicated that a common understanding between G&G, Reservoir Engineering and Petrophysics was critical for teams to produce deliverables that could represent the BEST technical estimates of potential reserves and production for an asset. Providing access to a shared set of guidelines, best practices and examples – governed by the leading technical minds in the company – was identified as being fundamental to helping teams develop work plans and strategies that met expectations during the peer review process.

SOLUTION
Working collaboratively with a customer team led by their Chief Geologist , 3GiG helped Hess create the Pathfinder Application.
