Peter Breunig

Peter Breunig will be the Manager, Upstream Technical Computing, in the new ChevronTexaco organization. He has over twenty years experience with Chevron in a variety of positions in upstream technical computing and service delivery areas including seismic processing, technical services supervision, remote-site IT management, and seismic imaging R&D and management. He has a broad understanding of the issues related to upstream computing, and solid knowledge and experience from his career assignments.

Peter Breunig has strong interpersonal and networking skills that will be a valuable asset to the POSC Board of Directors. He is very good as consensus building and moving projects and issues forward.

"I am committed to pursuing the POSC Mission of facilitating integrated business processes and computing technology for the E&P segment of the international petroleum industry. I have experienced firsthand the waste, frustration, and lost time spent trying to somehow integrate incompatible and closed vendor applications and data. I believe that as an industry we should do better.

My combined technical and work experience provides me with the skills and the perspective to help provide strategic direction to the POSC organization and operating model. In particular, recent Chevron experience in strategic direction for research and development, organizational communication, and operations management are all directly relevant to the outlined responsibilities of a POSC Board Member.

I strongly believe that the E&P business driver of doing 'more work with fewer people' will continue as it did through the end of the last century. The ability to realize this will be determined to a large part by advances in interoperability of applications, support, and service. The ability for an upstream employee to make use of all data relevant to his/her project will hinge on efforts like this company is undertaking.

As Founding Sponsors of POSC, ChevronTexaco has had a longstanding commitment to the vision of international E&P interoperability, and will continue to provide an active role in promoting industry standards."
