Operators and regulators in the Nigerian Oil and Gas sector have been advised to improve on their document control and management processes to guarantee business efficiency and stem the tide of corruption and inefficiency currently threatening the sector, and by extension, the nation’s economy.
At a recent workshop put together by Young & Bailey Nigeria Limited,a leading document and electronic content management firm with the theme “Document Control and Management: Turning Challenges into Opportunities”, lead paper presenter, Shola Adeola who is also Information Technology manager, Shell Nigeria Exploration and Production Company, observed that document control and management requirement is one of the most difficult and ineffectively implemented requirements in the nation’s Oil and Gas sector, leading to errors,delays, costs, poor records management and non conformities.
While submitting that the relevance and impact of proper document control and management processes in oil and gas servicing organisations cannot be over emphasised, Adeola said lack of proper document control can lead to dissatisfaction of Contractors, Engineers and Project Managers, thereby resulting invariably in project failures.
