Transformation


Importance and Mission

PTTEP remains committed to building resilience against challenges that include oil price volatility, digital disruption, energy transition, or the COVID-19 pandemic. Continual transformation of the organization and work process is thus PTTEP’s priority, to enhance sustainable competitiveness as envisaged by the Company’s vision.

Goals

  1. Reduce production cost and increase production through the adoption of digital technology and work-cost efficiency improvement initiatives that will improve E&P efficiency and involve all activities of both principal and supporting units.
  2. Enhance executives and staff's thinking capacity and life skills, preparing them for new work norms and future requirements. This includes digital skills and divergent thinking.

Management Approach

PTTEP has continuously transformed the organization and work process with frequent reviews to ensure timeliness since 2018. At present, the transformation process is carried out in 3 main dimensions as follows:

1. Organization Transformation

Enhance organization structure and ways of working. The undertaking involves the restructuring of human resource management by changing mindset and behaviors, promoting the One Team One Goal collaborative culture, enhancing digital skills through Digital Citizen Bootcamp and encouraging proper mindset through “me to We” activities that foster the traits suitable for the future business world for all executives and employees.

2. Digital Transformation

Utilize digital technology to improve operational efficiency and hence competitiveness. The process is undertaken through digital initiatives across all work groups of the core value chains and support functions within the E&P value chain; the building of data foundation platform and information surveillance system; the adoption of advanced analytics tools, process automation, artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML); and the creation of visualization for faster and more efficient decision in exploration, production and development. PTTEP is presently sitting on over 100 digital initiatives supported by the aforementioned digital technology implemented across domestic and overseas assets, which is centralized on the integrated platform called PTTEP One Digital Platform.

3. New Normal Transformation

Educate employees and provide facilitating tools and equipment to support speedy transition to the new ways of working. In addition, awareness in financial disciplines is promoted across all functions under SPEND SMART Project, to seek cost-reduction means while maintaining efficiency.

With the transformation and the adoption of digital technology for organizational development as outlined in our strategy, PTTEP is confident in achieving added value. While the cost decreases to the competitive level, net profits will rise along with efficiency. The goal is faster work pace and shortened process will raise the success rate of petroleum exploration and production.

The transformation has been continually executed, to enhance employees' long-term capacity in terms of skills, thought process and creativity as PTTEP aspires to become a dynamic, flexible, adaptive, resilient and data-driven organization.
