Data Governance and Management

Pioneer employees responsible for information and data governance actively assess master data domains and reports for suppliers, purchasers, cost centers and operational information. By using enterprise resource planning tools and oil and gas data governance standards, we create data-quality standards, business rules and data-quality monitoring to prevent interruptions. In addition, our data specialists continue to develop tools for more detailed data glossaries and robust data traceability.

Pioneer has a comprehensive HSE information management system used by departments throughout the company. The primary benefits of the system are:

  • Improvements in visibility and accountability for HSE compliance and culture throughout the organization
  • Establishment of an enterprise-level platform to enable Pioneer to continue standardizing and improving our HSE risk management processes
  • Demonstration of our commitment to HSE and sustainability through investment in tools that raise the level of employee and management engagement
  • Enhanced sharing of lessons learned and proactive HSE indicators with our employees and contractors
  • Reduction of technology costs and risks by moving to an industry- leading, cloud-based solution
