What is the Future of Upstream Automation?

The Upstream Oil & Gas sector is evolving against a backdrop of market volatility, ongoing uncertainty, and a drive towards energy transition. Operators are relying on automation, disruptive technology, and digital tools  to reduce costs, enhance decision-making, optimize efficiency, and improve safety across exploration and production activities.

Automation, IIoT, Data-Science, AI, ML, Digital Twins and Emerging Digital Tools are proving invaluable and are enabling operators to digitally transform, optimizing assets and operations for a profitable and sustainable future.

However, integrating technology at pace and scale is complex, resource and capital-intensive, and can disrupt traditional workflows.

Secure your place alongside peers and competitors to collaboratively solve complex challenges and share insights to streamline your transformation and deliver accelerated ROI by embracing disruptive technology to digitally optimize upstream exploration and production.
