4 Key Takeaways 

1. New Challenges, New Solutions
As project competition grows and costs rise, oil and gas teams face pressure to deliver faster, without compromising safety or compliance. The speakers emphasized how digital platforms like Pivvot provide the geospatial intelligence and workflows needed to move faster while mitigating risk.

“Mitigating risk in project planning involves a systematic approach to identifying potential issues that could derail success.” -Matt Puett

2. Common Workflow, New Speed
Matt walked through a proven workflow used by top-performing teams:

• Define project objectives.
• Gather and centralize critical data.
• Run geospatial and risk analysis.
• Review and iterate.

But as he noted, even this simple framework can quickly become overwhelming at scale.

“The larger the project, the more challenging it becomes to make timely decisions. That’s why the ability to iterate quickly is so critical.” -Matt Puett

3. Pivvot Enhancements for Faster Decisions
The team highlighted new features within Pivvot’s platform that make this workflow more agile and accessible than ever before:

• Proximity search tools to quickly locate sites near fiber lines, data centers, transportation, and wetlands.
• New data layers are added regularly to keep pace with evolving industry needs.

“Pivvot helps teams overcome challenges like complex permitting, tight schedules, and speed-to-market pressures through advanced geospatial intelligence.” -Justin Calvert

4. A Connected View that Changes Everything
One major takeaway: the value of consolidating project data in one place. Rather than hunting down siloed spreadsheets or GIS files, teams can work from a single source of truth.

“When you bring everything into a single, connected view—data, analysis, workflows—you’re not just saving time. You’re changing how teams work.” -Justin Calvert
