LONDON – Digitalization in oil and gas involves the adoption of digital technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), big data, cloud computing, cybersecurity, the Internet of things (IoT), and robotics. These technologies can deliver actionable insights to extend the life of an existing oil and gas asset, which has become a major issue in many developed countries. Managing aging infrastructure could help companies reduce their capital and operating expenditures for a given asset. Minimizing equipment downtime, while enhancing operational performance will be key to increasing revenues. There is also a growing emphasis among oil and gas producers on digitalizing workflows to enhance operational visibility for improved decision making.

The Digitalization in Oil and Gas – Thematic Research report offered by GlobalData Plc provides a comprehensive review of the expanding role of digitalization across industrial applications, with a special focus on the oil and gas industry.

The liquefied natural gas (LNG) sector is expected to witness significant growth in this decade as the preferences of energy-importing countries shifts due to the ongoing geopolitical conflict between Russia and Ukraine. Europe is expected to switch from its Russian gas supply to LNG imports from the US, Qatar, and other sellers. Also, the energy demand of the fast-growing emerging Asian markets, such as China and India, is expected to maintain an upward trend in this decade. This is expected to boost the digitalization efforts in the midstream sector and employing these technologies can ensure LNG terminals have an increased uptime.
