Sahara Petroleum drills SAP with HCL

BANGALORE, INDIA: HCL Technologies Ltd. has entered into a SAP implementation engagement with Sahara Petroleum Services Company (SAPESCO), a multi-disciplined petroleum services company providing services to Oil & Gas companies in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. This implementation spans SAPESCO’s presence in Egypt, Libya and Syria.

The SAP Enterprise Resource Planning ECC 6.0 project was conceived to enable complete and integrated ERP for SAPESCO’s petroleum business across MENA.

With the implementation of SAP, SAPESCO will significantly realize benefits by improving efficiencies in processes such as 'Acquire to Retire', 'Procure to Pay' which are critical for bringing transparency and efficiency into its business, says a press release. Significant benefits are also expected through integration of business processes, standardized systems, processes and controls. 

 

Hesham Fouad, CEO, SAPESCO said, “Being a highly diversified Group, we have embarked on this project in order to have a seamless integration across all companies and points of presence for financial consolidation, better control and standardized Human Resource processes across the group. We chose HCL for this strategic project in recognition of its deep domain capabilities and intellectual properties around SAP in the Oil & Gas sector. We feel that this association with HCL will help us to realize our goal of being a world class refinery”

A key highlight of this solution is HCL Axon’s Rapid Deployment Toolkit (RDT) for the Oilfield Services Sector which provides a pre-configured solution for Oilfield Services companies which enhances SAP’s ERP package.
