Client challenge
Encino Energy is a privately owned oil and gas acquisition and development company formed in 2011 and based in Houston, Texas. They acquire and operate working assets in multiple onshore U.S. basins.
The commitment to being an outstanding corporate citizen led to the development of Encino鈥檚 Community Partnership program, specifically designed to work alongside communities in building partnerships that create long-term economic development. In addition, Encino is a proud partner and supporter of multiple outstanding community-minded organizations that share our vision of sustainable growth.
Encino grew more than ten times its size, almost overnight, without an IT infrastructure to match. The company worked with 乐鱼（Leyu）体育官网 to stand up an entire IT infrastructure in 12 months--one that would grow and flex with future demands.
Making the strategic decision to 鈥済o big or go home,鈥� Encino Energy acquired $2 billion in assets, increasing the company鈥檚 size and scale by more than 10 times. In short order, this 30-person company operating five gas wells in Texas grew to over 300 people operating an additional 900 wells in Ohio鈥攂ut without the supporting information technology (IT) infrastructure to match.
With an urgent need to operationalize an entire IT function from scratch, with the ability to grow and flex with future demands, it turned to 乐鱼（Leyu）体育官网 to lead the effort.
In the midst of both an acquisition and an office move, 乐鱼（Leyu）体育官网 helped us execute on our most time-sensitive technology needs while simultaneously guiding us toward a future-proof technology strategy focused on scalable growth and leveraging data as one of our most valuable assets.

Key 乐鱼（Leyu）体育官网 initiatives
Moving from greenfield to full implementation required the rapid deployment of 乐鱼（Leyu）体育官网 professionals with experience in everything from strategy through execution, including transformation management, cyber strategy, data strategy, and upstream production operations.
Teams operated on two fronts鈥攄efining the technology and operating model for future production operations and migrating technology for the target acquisition鈥攁ll while meeting aggressive timelines.

1
Acted as the client鈥檚 technology lead advisor to help define the IT strategy and create a future-state IT operating model prior to the selection of the chief information officer.
2
Helped the company evaluate managed service providers and functioned as the IT team in the meantime to successfully transition infrastructure and application support.
3
Worked with Encino to create the new IT operating model strategy, to help select technology to operate the business, and create IT operating processes, while also providing program management.
4
Set up new technologies in a new building and deployed all core operational technology needed to run 900 new wells, even as new employees continued to be hired.
