Planning in oil and gas is genuinely complicated. Price volatility, production forecasting, capital project budgeting, regulatory scenario modelling, the variables are many and the consequences of getting forecasts wrong are significant. Spreadsheet-based planning processes that might work in other industries tend to hit a wall pretty fast in this one. That wall is where this UAE-based oil and gas company found itself.
They have engaged Accely for SAP Analytics Cloud licenses and implementation, covering both the commercial licensing side and the full deployment of SAC planning and analytics across the business. Alongside that, the engagement includes SAP Application Management Services support, so the platform has proper ongoing support from the moment it goes live. That combination, implementation and AMS under one partner, is something the client was deliberate about. They did not want to implement with one team and then hand off support to another, who was not in the room when the decisions were made.
The SAC planning implementation will cover financial planning, operational budgeting, and scenario analysis, the areas where the business currently spends the most time managing data manually before anything useful gets produced. The analytics layer will pull from the client’s existing SAP environment to give leadership a real-time view across production, procurement, and financial performance. The design phase is underway and progressing well.
One practical reality of oil and gas planning is that the models have to be flexible. Commodity prices shift, production targets get revised, capital allocation decisions get revisited mid-year. A static planning tool does not survive that environment for long. The AI-enabled SAP SAC platform addresses that through intelligent forecasting and dynamic scenario capabilities that let the planning team work with assumptions rather than fixed numbers.
Accely’s recognition as a SAP gold partner company with deep regional experience across energy and resources, made them the right choice for an engagement where both technical depth and industry familiarity were required.
