DSDE: Emerging Technology

Oil and gas is one of the most hazardous industries to work in. It is also an industry undergoing a revolutionary digital transformation. With changes come challenges and new opportunities. This paper looks at the top digital safety trends that are taking place within the industry.

Investigation into cybermonitoring of industrial control and operating systems used to detect cyberattacks and discern different types of attacks, with the intent to develop risk-based cybersecurity solutions.

US federal agencies should develop new crosscutting programs to advance the mathematical, statistical, and computational foundations underlying digital twin technologies, says a new report from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine.

The increasing demand for critical minerals—the building blocks of an electrified future—is creating opportunities for the oil and gas industry to apply its extensive knowledge, tools, and data to help meet the demand.

It is imperative for energy companies to assess potential legal ramifications of integrating artificial intelligence into their operations.

For today’s oil and gas companies, digital twins offer untapped potential to decarbonize the leading source of their emissions—field production.

Energy companies now can get more oil out of the ground using vast amounts of data that makes their offshore exploration more accurate, using a satellite uplink to transmit the data from oil rigs up to space and then off to the cloud.

The US has had a lackluster response to the emergence of the technology, currently lacking any comprehensive roadmap for adoption, which translates into a low adoption rate.

Case studies provide evidence of achievements in corporate sustainability while pursuing the adopted United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, thus highlighting the possibilities made available by digital twin technology.

When it comes to new projects, the technology helps companies try virtually before they buy in to the venture or commission the undertaking, as well as address any design changes or flaws.
