The 3W Project and its Strategy to Foster the Development of Data-Driven Solutions for the Offshore Sector

Abstract

This paper presents the 3W project and the strategy adopted in contrast to the classical buy and build approaches to develop a data-driven solution which can be used by oil companies to overcome their technological challenges. With this strategy, solutions are developed in a collaborative and symbiotic way with several types of players in the global community. Results so far obtained with 3W are promising, which justifies and motivates other similar projects to adopt the strategy proposed in this article.
