In recent years, the operating costs have been increasing substantially in the oil and gas industry. Due to oil prices drop, petroleum companies are implementing a new cost performance culture to ensure cost optimization targets are met.

The following six-approach methodology was developed to review and guide the study forward: Review the corporate historical budget and spending to identify reasons behind the annual increase of the requested budget and the actual spending review and analyze major corporate budget elements analyze and review the major cost elements, and major functions impacted by these cost elements Identify major findings. Translate findings into Corporate level recommendations and specific functions recommendations. Convert recommendation after management approval into initiatives and key performance indicators. By publishing this study, it will assist corporates in updating their current processes and establishing new one to optimize their spending and at the same time not affecting their plan to meet their strategic objective.
