The Future of Oil & Gas Automation and Technology
The Oil & Gas, Chemical and Petrochemical sector is at a crucial point of change, driven by the opportunities presented through digital transformation.
Against a backdrop of rising costs and talent shortages, failure to embrace digital tools will stifle growth, negatively impact competitiveness, and drastically reduce profitability.
Yet, recent reports suggest up to 70 percent of these digitalization projects have failed to move beyond the pilot phase.
Ensure you secure your place at the Oil & Gas Automation and Technology Week Summit on 13-14 February in Houston, TX alongside your peers and competitors to solve these complex common challenges surrounding digital transformation in an interactive, and collaborative environment.
