BP — Architecture, Integration & Performance

c. 2006–2014

Enterprise Architecture

As IBM's Lead Software Architect aligned to the BP global account, David held architectural oversight for the cohesion and interoperability of IBM software solutions presented across BP's upstream, downstream and trading businesses.

Data Integration & Master Data

Subsurface work included integration between Landmark/Halliburton OpenWorks and the transition toward Schlumberger Petrel/Studio using TIBCO OpenSpirit and BusinessWorks. David also led the architecture of a global well master-data solution introducing a unique identifier across well-header records, allowing cost, work-management, drilling and operational systems to correlate the same well despite differing nomenclature.

Performance & SWAT Support

During a major Landmark-to-Schlumberger transformation, David worked within an internal SWAT team reproducing production environments, isolating cross-stack issues across Oracle, networks, applications and infrastructure, validating remediation approaches and supporting implementation teams through handover.

Perenco Holdings UK — Studio Readiness, Licence Analytics & Technical Support

c. 2014–2016

Studio Readiness

David was initially engaged to assess Perenco Holdings UK's technical and infrastructure readiness for the rollout of Schlumberger Studio. The work covered implementation workflows, early infrastructure deployment and performance assessment, supporting the organisation through to successful adoption.

Licence Analytics

David designed and built a real-time technical-application licence monitoring solution using BIRT. It provided visibility of utilisation across high-value applications including CMG, Petrel/Studio, OpenWorks and OpenWells, giving the business evidence to support software licence negotiations.

Technical Escalation & Oracle Support

For the final period of the engagement, David was retained as a trusted technical escalation resource for UK infrastructure issues, particularly Oracle systems — investigating faults, restoring services, patching systems and supporting remediation where specialist intervention was required.
