Capturing Tacit Knowledge in oil and gas project Using Storytelling

Knowledge plays a vital role in managing project. Generally, knowledge is being
categorized into two: explicit and tacit. Tacit knowledge is the .Icnow - how"
knowledge that lies in expert's head, while explicit knowledge is wriuen and
codified knowledge. Both are long term assets to ev€ry project and putting effort to
nurture them is very critical. Though so, most projects are having ditrculty in
sharing tacit knowledge because of its nature that preve,lrted the knowledge from
being articulated and formalized. Therefore, integrating knowledge mnnagEneNf
into project enables tacit knowledge to be captured, codified, and then shared across
the project. One ofthe best ways in sharing tacit knowledge is using storytelling. As
part of knowledge management, storytelling offers sharing of a more strucmred and
absorbable form of tacit knowledge. This paper shares a viewpoint of knowledge
sharing in oil and gas project since the indusry embraces lots oftechnical skills ad
experience based learning. Besides, this paper pres€Nrts the research methodology
which begins with planning until the development process.
