HighGear is the Digital Solution for Pipeline Commitment Tracking
Driving a pipeline across thousands of miles, crossing multiple jurisdictions, international borders, while touching upon tens of thousands of people and organizations, requires exceptional organizational and administrative skills.
Dropping the ball on just one commitment can result in project delays, tens of millions of dollars in excess costs and fines, and serious harm to community relationships, both now and into the future. How you meet your obligations and demonstrate your performance is directly reflected in your credibility and image. While oil & gas companies do go to extraordinary lengths to protect and work with the environment and communities affected, the sheer scale and complexity of meeting and tracking pipeline commitments makes this extraordinarily difficult to manage well.
Your reputation and credibility are on the line.
