In the recent years the oil and gas industry has started facing an unprecedented number of challenges. The average return on capital in the industry has deteriorated which results in investor mistrust and costs being higher than ever. Debt capital became two times costlier than for alterative types of energy. More conventional oilfields become depleted and new reserves are usually quite complex to develop. These and other challenges such as intense competition between oil and gas companies, the energy transition agenda as well as the volatility of oil prices in the aftermath of the pandemic are pushing the O&G companies to transform themselves. Gazprom Neft introduced the "Asset of the Future" program in late 2018 as a timely response which was aimed at completely transforming the Upstream business model. The main issue with the transformation was the scale of it, which included 10 subsidiaries (or subs) and more than 200 different processes. In this case traditional approaches such as improving each operation one by one would not suffice as the company sought a rapid and highly efficient implementation of changes. As such the program had to develop a new approach that focused on the integration of all business parts and continuous improvement. Integration of people, technology and processes will lead to better collaboration and as a result - to smarter decisions and better execution.
