How do oil and gas owners use ProjectVIEW ERP and AI?
ProjectVIEW is an ERP for oil and gas owners and operators who develop offshore and marine projects. It links budgets, tenders, contracts, progress, payments and handover to one BoQ ↔ WBS ↔ Cost Codes structure, while ProjectVIEW AI flags cost and schedule risks before they reach the budget.
Build the field development budget
To begin with, break the project into WBS packages such as wells, subsea, platforms, pipelines and marine works. Then price each package from estimates and productivity templates.
The Bidding & Estimation Agent compares rates with past projects, so the budget rests on evidence.
Split the scope into contract packages
After that, group BoQ items into EPC, installation and marine service packages. As a result, you can match packages to local yards, ports and contractors.
Each package keeps its link to the budget, so you see the cost of every option.
Tender and evaluate the offers
For each package, issue electronic Requests for Proposal. Then compare the offers on price, schedule, technical compliance, quality and HSE.
Every score stays on record, so the award decision is transparent and easy to audit.
Set one cost and time baseline
When you award the contracts, each one becomes a cost and time baseline. The contractors’ Primavera P6 schedules then combine into one Gantt view.
So the owner sees one programme and one budget across all packages. See also the native connectors.
Track progress offshore and onshore
While work goes on, contractors report progress, logs and change information through portals and mobile apps. Dashboards then compare progress and cost with the baseline.
ProjectVIEW AI reads this live data and flags slippage early, so you act before the budget moves.
Approve changes and pay for verified progress
When a change occurs, it creates a new BoQ version with its cost and time effect. Also, payment requests are checked against verified progress and the contract BoQ.
Then the Claims & Variations Agent finds unapproved changes and prepares them for your decision.
Hand over complete asset records
Finally, drawings, BIM models, inspections and certificates stay in one Common Data Environment. As a result, handover files are complete when the works finish.
The same records then support maintenance planning for the asset. So the ERP for oil and gas owners keeps budget, progress and evidence in one place.
How do cost changes affect our project budget?
Offshore engineering and marine construction companies manage diverse assets and resources across land and sea, within a complex regulatory and operational framework. Accurately forecasting and managing these assets—while staying within budget—remains a major business challenge.
Query the relevant project records and generate an on-demand report with ProjectVIEW AI.
ProjectVIEW ERP provides early-stage realistic budgeting for oil & gas and marine projects, supporting long-term project viability and financial accuracy.
Queries and reports follow your organization’s role and access permissions. Approval actions remain with authorized users.
Which work packages match the resources available?
Offshore and marine construction projects should be segmented to leverage local port and shipyard infrastructure, fabrication resources, and support knowledge transfer from international to local contractors. This segmentation is essential to align project investment with local capacity and development goals.

ProjectVIEW ERP promotes social and national responsibility by segmenting projects to align with local market conditions and production capabilities.
Which tender offers meet our technical and commercial requirements?
Discovering resources and assessing viability are prerequisites for Tendering, requiring E&P Owners or Port Authorities to evaluate bids on cost, quality, and compliance under contract types like EPC, Lump-Sum Turnkey, Design-Build, or PPP. A poorly budgeted tender can threaten project outcomes and financial integrity.

Compiling tender documents, soliciting project packages, and evaluating proposals with ProjectVIEW ERP enforces transparency and strengthens contract oversight.
Where is progress falling behind the plan?
Offshore Project Developers and Marine Owners, relying solely on consultant reports and lacking real-time operational updates, often miss early warnings—hindering proactive cost control and delaying issue detection.

With personalised dashboards using actual site and subsea data, ProjectVIEW ERP delivers real-time visibility to ground project management in the daily realities of offshore and marine construction.
Which changes need approval, and what will they cost?
Oil & Gas Owners face constant unpredictability: design changes, subsea issues, and evolving maritime regulations. Without strong change management, projects risk delays, confusion, and budget overruns.

ProjectVIEW ERP enhances stakeholder collaboration and automates interdepartmental workflows, streamlining variation control and reducing offshore project risks.
Do payment requests match verified progress?
E&P Owners and Port Authorities struggle to link progress and payments when relying on unverifiable data (e.g., drilling, dredging, quay construction). This creates payment disputes and delays.

ProjectVIEW ERP links actual costs with verified progress, ensuring financial clarity for auditors, lenders, and insurers in large-scale offshore and oil & gas projects.
What is still missing before handover?
E&P Operators and Port Authorities face delayed handovers due to incomplete documentation, impacting asset readiness and long-term maintenance planning.

ProjectVIEW ERP updates designs, drawings, and BIM models with constructed elements—supporting snag lists, completing handover documentation, and strengthening asset lifecycle management for marine and offshore facilities.
ERP for oil and gas owners: the short answer
ProjectVIEW ERP gives exploration and production owners one system to control capital budgets, offshore contracts, progress, payments, changes and handover records. Each budget line links to the BoQ items and WBS activities it funds, so committed cost and cost to complete are visible per field development. In addition, ProjectVIEW AI flags cost and schedule risks for your review.
What an E&P owner controls in ProjectVIEW ERP
- Capital budget per field, facility and work package.
- Tenders and contracts: offers compared on the same BoQ and scope.
- Progress and payments: contractor certificates checked against measured progress.
- Changes: variations priced before approval.
- Local content and compliance records per contract.
- Handover: complete asset records in one Common Data Environment.

FAQ: ERP for oil and gas owners
What should an E&P owner look for in an ERP?
One structure that links capital budgets, contracts, measured progress and changes, so committed cost and cost to complete are known before each approval.
How does ProjectVIEW ERP control contractor payments?
Payment requests are compared with quantities measured per BoQ item. Therefore you pay for verified progress only.
Can ProjectVIEW ERP track local content?
Yes. Local content commitments and records are kept per contract and reported with cost and progress.
What does ProjectVIEW AI add for owners?
ProjectVIEW AI reads the live ERP data and flags overruns, delays and unapproved changes early. Your team keeps approval authority.
How long does implementation take?
A typical go-live takes 5 to 7 months, delivered by DANAOS engineers, in the cloud or on premises. Pricing depends on the modules, the number of users and the deployment option.
