Uncontrolled non-technical losses
Up to 40% of distributed energy can be lost in operations without integrated data control. In oil and gas, the lack of traceability amplifies invisible operational losses.
Glauner et al. / Univ. Luxembourg 2017Oil and Gas
Lifting cost squeezes margins. NPT erodes profit. And commercial management still operates in silos between field and office.
Shell reduced downtime by 20% with predictive maintenance - but the bottleneck isn't just the plant. It's the disconnect between contracts, turnaround, technical support, and field execution. Bunker connects that operation with the Bunker Protocol, Salesforce, and AI applied to the upstream-to-downstream cycle.

Kimberlite/GE O&G cited in SPE-JPT 2016The silent risk in oil and gas
US$15.8 billion lost per year due to inadequate software interoperability. Does your operation know the cost of every context-free handoff?
When contracts, assets, operations, and technical support run in separate systems, every critical decision happens without a consolidated view. The result is stretched response times, amplified risk, and margin eroded with each cycle.
The real scenario
Four fractures that erode lifting cost and reliability with every turnaround
Every gap compounds between one shutdown and the next. When NPT rises without warning and the FPSO isn't connected to the contract portfolio, lifting cost skyrockets - and HSE becomes accumulated liability.
Imprecise forecasting
Operations without applied deep learning show 39% more error in demand forecasting. Every forecast deviation translates into wrong inventory, undersized contracts, and delayed response.
Wen et al. / Nature 2024Reactive maintenance
Predictive maintenance reduces unplanned failures by up to 87%. Without it, every unscheduled shutdown costs millions in lost production and emergency mobilization.
Thomas & Weiss / NIST-IJPHM 2021Disconnected systems
Inadequate interoperability consumes billions per year. Every isolated system multiplies integration costs and reduces response speed in critical scenarios.

Bunker
We have already mapped NPT, lifting cost, and turnaround. We know where context is lost between FPSO and contract management.
Turnaround planning operates without the NPT history from previous shutdowns. Each offshore asset has its own maintenance priority scale. Lifting cost rises without anyone crossing intervention cost against lost production. And the commercial team negotiates service contracts without visibility into each vendor's accumulated HSE record.
We don't sell CMMS or E&P ERP. We design the operation that transforms asset availability into traceable lifting cost - with contract governance and end-to-end NPT visibility.
- +300 CRM projects: including O&G operations with contract management and HSE
- +120K users impacted, from asset management to technical support and contracts
- Commercial governance deployed in 8 countries with oil and gas operations
- Direct experience in upstream, midstream, downstream, and O&G services

From fragmented assets to a connected lifting cost architecture
Without Bunker
Asset disconnected from contract
- Contracts, assets, and support running on separate data with conflicting versions
- Handoffs between operations and support with no context continuity
- Reactive maintenance with no predictive failure alerts
- Contract pipeline invisible to executive management
- Critical decisions with no traceability of operational impact
With Bunker
Integrated lifting cost architecture
- Single view of contract, asset, and incident across operations and support
- Handoffs with consolidated context and continuity across teams
- Predictive governance with risk alerts and impact-based prioritization
- Auditable pipeline with real-time executive predictability
- AI applied to daily routines with triage, summaries, and action recommendations
Every month with disconnected assets costs lifting cost, NPT, and reliability you won't get back.
The first step is an operations and asset management diagnostic. No commitment, no generic deck. Evaluate whether your lifting cost justifies a different architecture.
Frequently asked questions
Answers for Oil and Gas
01 How does the protocol address operations with high HSE requirements? Expand
HSE is an architectural premise, not an optional module. The platform integrates incident traceability, vendor compliance, and intervention history into operational workflows. Every action has built-in audit trails.
02 Do you integrate with ERP, HSE systems, and field asset management? Expand
We integrate Salesforce with ERP, HSE systems, and asset management platforms. Contracts, interventions, and technical support begin sharing context - so no team operates on stale data.
03 What is the difference between the Bunker Protocol and an O&G ERP integrator? Expand
An ERP integrator solves the system. Bunker solves the operation that connects contracts, assets, and field. The ERP is one of the components - the protocol is the architecture that makes contracts, turnaround, and technical support operate on shared context.
