The Forum provides its members with a proven environment for fostering these goals by
- Engendering an effective dialogue within a focused community to promote thought leadership and insight into the digital oil field
- Identifying enablers and solutions to the fundamental challenges that confront E&P companies in attaining "The Prize" of the digital oil field
- Providing a framework for research into and peer-group discussion of key drivers and imperatives that influence and shape realization of the digital oil field: business, economic, operational, cultural, organizational, management, regulatory, and technological

E&P firms continue to face the challenge of how to attain "The Prize" of the digital oil field—improved reservoir recovery, lower costs, and increased production rates—in the face of volatile oil prices, more technically challenging asset types, and a shrinking E&P workforce. Success, and thereby competitive advantage, depends upon achieving several key goals:
- Refocusing the digital oil field from a tactical to a strategic level, thereby broadening and accelerating adoption
- World-class deployment and monitoring of early implementations to ensure that E&P firms recover their investments and show early success
- Effective integration of the complex technologies that will enable realization of the digital oil field
- Achieving proper alignment among people, processes, organizations, and technologies
- Resolving complex relationships among the E&P firms, major resource holders, regulatory agencies, and oilfield service companies

The process kernel of the Forum consists of two annual in-depth research agendas based upon the main interests of its members. The deliverables of Forum membership are
- Two seats to each of the four annual Forum workshops (held in the spring and autumn, in each case in both North America and Europe)
- Two White Papers based upon the main interests of members, one delivered after each workshop
- Two Gray Papers (discussion documents) based upon the main interests of members, one delivered prior to each workshop
- Two annual interview meetings (spring and autumn) with members (either on site or by teleconference)
- Telephone and e-mail access to IHS CERA experts to address specific questions related to Forum research and to identify and discuss key topics of interest to members
- Ongoing dialogue among peers within the E&P industry
- Events: Advisory Service members may participate in exclusive client gatherings fostering interaction among senior-level decision makers and IHS CERA experts. These include IHS CERA's Executive Roundtables held each spring and fall in locations worldwide, and CERAWEEK, featuring IHS CERA's Executive Conference and related events, held annually in Houston, for a reduced fee.
