Abstract: Abstract Organisational semiotics provides methods for understanding complex problems. This paper proposes the use of the organisational semiotic onion to understand and address the complex information management requirements of upstream oil and gas capital projects. Some of the project information management challenges experienced by one company are presented using the organisational semiotic onion. This approach shows the benefits of using the onion as an analytical method for analysing information management requirements as requirements can be holistically analysed and addressed at informal, formal and technical layers.
