1 ICT strategy and solutions for upstream oil and gas Supporting exploration and production globally

2 We work extensively with the upstream oil and gas industry to shape IT and communications strategy and then deliver the associated infrastructure and services that enable these companies to conduct their business in any part of the world.

3 Pedigree in oil and gas Founded by veteran oil and gas ICT experts, our knowledge of the E&P sector is unrivalled. We know what it takes to achieve your operational and business goals and to enable collaboration despite the challenges of working in a global industry. Importantly, this deep understanding means we also truly appreciate the vital role of IT and communications, its potential to add value to your business and the costly consequences when it doesn t function as required. Unlike other ICT service providers, our heritage means we focus exclusively on the oil and gas industry. Armed with years of real world experience, we help oil and gas companies: Develop enterprise-class IT strategy to deal with the pressures of today without compromising on what might be required tomorrow. Build resilient infrastructure so IT systems and services are always operational and ready to contend with disaster should the unforeseen occur. Accelerate decision-making supporting operations and fostering collaboration by moving data faster across global networks and making critical applications accessible wherever they re needed. Harmonise IT systems so corporate and field site IT can be viewed and developed as a single environment. Connect assets worldwide joining up IT and communications infrastructures across the globe to ensure every user has access to the IT services they need to do their job. Make better buying decisions by acting as a sounding board and expert interface into providers of complex IT resources, brokering better value services and cost-models. We re proud to have delivered ICT solutions for oil and gas companies on almost every continent, from corporate headquarters to well sites offshore and on every type of onshore terrain. This experience is not easily gained, and we believe is testament to our skills and the trust placed in us by customers both large and small around the world.

4 What we do We deliver the robust, reliable, high performance ICT infrastructure necessary to power modern oil and gas exploration and production. We focus on the core components that make this happen. Assembled correctly, each building block plays a critical role in providing the best possible ICT experience for your people and keeping them working, whether they are the geologist in the field or the accountant back at corporate headquarters. Making all of these ICT components function in the best interests of your business requires planning and vision. This is brought into sharp focus when oil and gas companies experience rapid growth and need to scale up quickly if drilling operations are successful. Mergers and acquisitions or new investment, as well as campaign success, can place dramatic demands on ICT unlike any other industry. We help navigate a path through these challenges that meets demand today and provides a roadmap and strategy for your future ICT needs.

5 How we do it We know what makes the oil and gas industry unique and what it takes to make ICT really deliver on its potential to add value in exploration and production. We work with oil and gas companies of all sizes and maturity and our client base allows us to identify and share best practices within the industry, especially as companies or projects move from start-up, to exploration, on to appraisal, development or production. We know the demands at every stage, we know the applications being used and we know the expectations of users. This knowledge is matched by the highest levels of technical accreditation, service and process to make sure even the most complex of solutions are delivered on time, on budget and with minimal disruption. A new framework for engagement We seek to forge partnerships rather than pursue traditional outsourcing arrangements. In doing so we provide the highest quality ICT services and aim to represent your interests when co-ordinating the various other IT and communications partners oil and gas companies need to engage. Our hunger to innovate means we are always thinking whilst doing, resulting in the constant optimisation of ICT systems and processes.

7 Who we do it for We work with many of the industry s leading companies. They executed the plan faultlessly. Coming up with the vision and strategy was relatively easy, but ISN were the ones who had to deliver the plan, under the pressure of huge time constraints, in a region they knew nothing about, with vendors and service providers they had never worked with before. The success is testament to their skills. Tim Hebblethwaite Group IT Manager Afren plc ISN had all the knowledge oil companies like us need - remote communications expertise, knowledge of the large data movements we conduct across networks, and experience of our specialist applications. They have lots of experience working in West Africa and their services were also endorsed by one of our peers. Patrick Lynch IT Director African Petroleum Where we ve worked
