Flare Solutions develop information management system for Cairn Energy

May 17, 2013 - PRLog -- Flare Solutions Limited (Flare) has worked with Cairn Energy PLC (Cairn) to develop an information management system which manages the distribution of information at all stages of the oil and gas exploration and production process.  

The system developed, which was deployed by Cairn in December 2012, is called the Exploration and Production Management System (EPMS), and is based on Flare’s award winning E&P Catalog™ suite.  

EPMS enables Cairn to effectively capture, search and find critical information, documents, data and records across their global oil and gas operations.

Glenn Mansfield, Director of Flare, said:

“Working with Cairn’s technical disciplines in a collaborative environment has significant benefits in allowing components to be built that directly meet the needs of the business.  We are delighted to be working with Cairn on this project and to see these tools in use”

John Caldwell, Head of Information & Data Management at Cairn, said:

“The new Exploration and Production Management System allows Cairn to improve the management of information in the exploration and production process thereby improving the efficiency of our business. The EPMS is a valuable addition to our information management systems portfolio.”
