Digital Transformation of EHS and ESG Compliance in the Oil and Gas Sector

Introduction

A global oil and gas company faced escalating costs, fragmented systems, and limited access to assets due to data being distributed across consultants and siloed software. Over two decades, the company has partnered with Locus Technologies to centralize and unify its analytical, environmental, health, safety (EHS), and water data.

The result:

  • Simplified access to $50M+ in analytical data assets via Locus EIM
  • Displacement of entrenched, underperforming vendors
  • Global adoption of Locus Waste and Locus Water software
  • Enterprise-wide path for unified, cloud-based compliance management.

This journey illustrates how digital transformation in EHS/ESG is not only about tech adoption, but also about breaking free from outdated business models that hold organizations hostage to their own data.

Challenge: Data Scattered, Access Denied

In the early 2000s, the oil company was spending over $18M annually on analytical work in the U.S. alone. Yet:

  • Data was dispersed across multiple consulting firms.
  • Access delays were common, often requiring consultants to deliver basic datasets.
  • Costs were inflated; every data request triggered billable hours.
  • Usability was low; data often arrived in inconsistent, sometimes unusable formats.

This dependency model gave consultants revenue incentives to maintain control, leaving the oil company unable to act quickly on compliance and business needs.
