Why choose external design partners?

Traditionally, companies outsource design services in order to add specialized engineering design capabilities, expand design capacity to accomplish time-to-market goals, and/or create a keener focus on internal core competencies.

Continuing in this, and due to today's unpredictable market and often abrupt changes in technologies, the petroleum industry is beginning to embrace more than the historical, project-by-project style relationship it has had with external design resources, and is finding new mixes of contracting options attractive.

All the while, fundamental improvements in pretroleum engineering technology promise to fuel the industry for decades, but shrinking design-cycles, resource-limited design teams and relatively primitive design methodology create obstacles that threaten to stifle growth expectations for some organizations.

To overcome this, not only must a petroleum engineering team be able to leverage its existing capabilities, it must also be able to develop, test and document new technologies in an efficient manner.

Today's leading companies are finding the flexibility of outsource partnering solutions to be a practical answer for advancing their engineering capabilities—providing them with the reliability, speed and innovation that comes with the acquisition and implementation of new technologies—while being able to devote their internal focus to the maintenance of critical core competencies.
