Executive Summary
African National Oil Companies (NOCs) are operating in a high-stakes environment – balancing aging infrastructure, rising operational costs, and growing pressure to deliver more with fewer resources. The imperative is clear: drive efficiency, reduce risk, and build resilience through smarter, more connected operations.
This whitepaper outlines how a pragmatic, value-driven approach to digital transformation enables offshore operators to achieve measurable performance gains. Through real-world case studies, we demonstrate how digital asset management platforms like R2S—are delivering tangible business outcomes – faster decisionmaking, reduced downtime, and millions in cost savings.

The Strategic Challenge
Offshore operations are complex and capital-intensive. Leaders face persistent challenges that directly impact performance and profitability:
- Aging infrastructure with limited digital traceability.
- Siloed data across departments and contractors.
- Manual inspection workflows that are time-consuming and inconsistent.
- Limited visibility into asset condition, especially on FPSOs and remote platforms.
- High costs and risks associated with offshore travel and shutdowns.
While digital transformation is often positioned as the answer, many initiatives fail to deliver ROI due to complexity, poor adoption, or lack of alignment with operational realities

A Practical Scalable Solution
The path to operational efficiency isn’t paved with buzzwords or complex systems, it’s built on tools that solve real problems, fit into existing workflows, and deliver measurable value from day one. R2S offers a proven, low-friction path to digital transformation, designed for the key challenges of offshore work. R2S helps organisations:
- Consolidate siloed data into a single, visual workspace enabling faster, more informed
decisions. - Enable remote collaboration across teams and contractors
- Reduce offshore exposure, cutting travel costs and improving safety for personnel
- Accelerate decision-making with real-time asset visibility
- Integrate seamlessly with existing systems to start seeing results in weeks—not months.
The result: faster time to value, improved operational control, and a scalable foundation for long-term
success.
