Digital oilfield gains momentum

摘要

Over the last 15 years, the adoption of digital oilfields “has gained impetus due to advancements in technologies for sens- ing, automation, connectivity and data analytics,” according to analysts GlobalData. “Digital oilfield is a concept that combines business process management with digital technologies to automate workflows for maximizing productivity, reducing costs, and minimize the overall risks associated with oil and gas operations. It is designed to transform the upstream sector by converging oper- ational technology with information technology to enable the creation of a ‘digital twin’ that replicates the performance of an oilfield on a computer,” said GlobalData.
