Welcome to the Executive Report on 2011 Technology Priorities for International Upstream Oil and Gas Companies. WellPoint Systems is pleased to bring you this important industry information. Two hundred and twenty six companies participated in this year’s survey, representing a broad spectrum of companies in the Oil and Gas industry, including E&P, holding, energy and supplier companies.

Survey respondents were located in:

Canada	86

This report is created for individuals throughout the organization but will be most helpful to senior executives, finance, IT, and those involved with mergers and acquisitions.

Our primary motivation in conducting this important research was multifold. Goal number one was to outline where companies are today in their quest for streamlining and optimizing their financial and business operations, including how companies perceive their financial and operation systems' pain points. Goal two was to identify the specific steps Oil and Gas companies are taking to improve financial operations and achieve competitive advantage.
