Seadrill

The Challenge

Seadrill, a medium-sized global oil and gas drilling company, embarked on a major transformation programme to implement Oracle Cloud across its Finance, Supply Chain and Core HR functions.

With 3,500 employees – the vast majority (around 3,000) working offshore – Seadrill faced a unique adoption challenge. Employees offshore had limited time and connectivity for training, yet their ability to accurately and efficiently use Oracle Cloud processes was critical to business success.

Seadrill required a training programme that:

• Addressed the diverse needs of its onshore and offshore workforce.

• Provided training materials accessible across multiple geographies and roles.

• Ensured a confident, competent user base from day one of go-live.

The Solution

Seadrill engaged Fudgelearn to design and deliver a comprehensive Oracle Cloud training programme. Leveraging our proven methodology, we supported Seadrill with:

• Training & OGL Needs Analysis – Completing a detailed review of user roles, impact levels, and training requirements.

• Training Curriculum & Project Plan – Building a tailored training roadmap aligned to project milestones.

• Oracle Guided Learning (OGL) Deployment – Configuring and implementing in-application, step-by-step guidance for users, accessible anytime.

• Training Material Development with ClickLearn – Creating simulations, videos, quick reference guides, and job aids across all in-scope workstreams.

• Co-Delivery of Training – Partnering with Seadrill’s internal trainers to run instructor-led sessions, ensuring knowledge transfer and building self-sufficiency.

By blending traditional classroom, virtual sessions, and “at point of need” digital guidance, we ensured that no user was left behind – whether they were based offshore or at head office.

The Results

• Tailored Offshore Training Strategy – Content was optimised for the offshore workforce, ensuring accessibility, clarity, and relevance.

• Faster Time-to-Competence – With OGL and ClickLearn materials, users had real-time, on-demand support, reducing reliance on helpdesk queries.

• Knowledge Transfer to Internal Trainers – Seadrill’s own training team was empowered to continue delivering training beyond go-live.

• Sustainable User Adoption – Employees across six global regions adopted Oracle Cloud with confidence, enabling Seadrill to meet its business objectives.
