The empirical case in this project is a global leader on onshore/offshore, subsea and surface technologies for the petroleum industry. As an EPC (Engineering, Procurement and Construction) provider, the organization works with the concept development, feasibility studies and FEED (Front End Engineering and Design), as well as the production and installation of offshore infrastructures, such as pipelines and production facilities – EPC projects. The series of business operations from concept until delivery are in focus in this PhD project. The objective is to study the pattern of collaboration between the EPC provider and their customers (oil companies) and the exploitation of digital tools, in the parts of the value chain reaching from concept development to FEED.
