Testimonials

Nexen

Nexen Petroleum UK has used both the Production and Injection Choke Model on the Scott platform since 2005 and on the Buzzard platform since first oil in 2007. In 2009 the Production choke model was implemented for the Ettrick field and extended to cover Ettrick/Blackbird fields in 2011. “Reporting…Read more

Woodside Petroleum

“The choke model is gaining more and more users each day and one was recently heard to make the comment comparing it with sliced bread.” Implementations of the choke model provide the organisation with more than simply another software application. The processes underpinning the model which are then…Read more

As far back as 2005, Nakika adopted Production Efficiency Improvement toolkit (PEIt). This has since been deployed to nearly all E&P assets. The tool set made it possible for Na Kika to instantly view and analyze production loss data and include key performance indicators (KPIs). It also provide…Read more

Marathon Oil

Marathon Oil was GCMe’s early adopter, having previously used the GCMe fore-runner (Standalone GCM) in two of their UK assets. GCMe has now been adopted by all of Marathon’s assets. “Prior to GCM/GCMe, data relating to losses was generally supplied in the form of weekly reports which were inconsiste…Read more

BP Group

BP use the original version that we created for them (PEIT) in over 200 assets around the world. In a relatively small subset of those assets, they counted nearly 150 "Improvement Actions" that produced a loss reduction roughly equivalent to $2.2 Billion in 2010. As for industry awards, within BP, o…Read more

Tullow Oil

Used in their "Jubilee" asset in Ghana. Here we have integrated GCMe with their reservoir modelling system and their real time data historian. Again, very happy with GCMe and our service. "Its all running smoothly with no problems at all" Mark Whitehouse, Implementation Project Manager…Read more

The Young Light Ethos

The Young Light team is a cohesive collection of highly experienced and talented individuals with a relatively flat management hierarchy which operates very effectively through mutual respect rather than rank. Our view is that each individual is much more than just a “commodity” developer or DBA and will often be able to draw on their wider experience, interests and talents. Although each member has their own area of expertise, all are encouraged to contribute to every aspect of a project. This approach not only empowers and motivates, it engenders a great team spirit, excellent communication and great productivity.

Our clients work directly with the team rather than being cushioned by layers of management, sales professionals and analysts. This method of working maximises communication, avoids misunderstandings, enhances problem solving and therefore promotes a very effective and efficient development & support lifecycle.

We believe this constitutes an enlightened alternative to the more conventional bureaucratic approach which continues to fail to deliver on many major projects. There is no substitute for an established team of quality individuals.

Great Value

Our products add value in a very simple way: For a relatively modest investment, our tools help our customers generate a very significant return in terms of performance improvement and therefore, bottom line profit.

Our software development service provides value by always delivering. Rather than pull in various commodity programmers who have never worked together, we have a team of highly experienced and talented individuals who have worked very successfully together for years. We aim never to disappoint as the reputation we earn is much more important and more compelling than any advertising campaign can be.
