What is the Future of Upstream Automation?
It’s predicted $100bn of industry-wide cost savings can be achieved within the next decade by upstream oil & gas operators by embracing automation and digitalization solutions.
Current global market conditions, oil price volatility and fluctuations in demand, are strongly incentivizing upstream operators to adapt their processes to optimize exploration and production. Using a technology-led approach to drive down costs, maintain profitability, improve safety and increase operational efficiency are crucial for the immediate future.
Join us this September to discover how upstream, well site automation and digitalization specialists from leading operators, oilfield service companies, technology suppliers and solutions providers can proactively adapt their approaches to improve their business.
