Your company is ready to make the switch to modern petroleum economics software, but you’re a little confused about how to proceed. You understand the difference between unified and integrated E&P software, but you’re not sure how it impacts your team’s day-to-day tasks.

In this blog, we’ll identify the top reasons why unified petroleum economics software outperforms integrated solutions and how making a switch to modern software can boost your ROI while saving you time and eliminating errors. 

As mentioned in our last blog, integrated software combines various independent programs under a single banner, while unified software is built from the ground up with a single user interface, and all processes perform as part of the whole, not separate from it.

But what exactly does this difference mean in terms of your team’s workflow and day-to-day tasks?

The Value of Unified over Integrated Petroleum Economics Software 

If your automated solution is only integrated, then each process you need it to perform is not intimately tied in with the other necessary parts of the software. This means work done on one module will not be compatible with other workflows and your job becomes more complicated. Sure, the integrated software may automate one area of your reserves management, but it inevitably complicates the other areas. If the software were unified, rather than merely integrated, work done on one module would be fully transferable and applicable to all other parts of your workflow.

To help you understand, here is a helpful table describing how this difference could impact your day-to-day operations when it comes to using petroleum economics software:
