The emerging vision is an industry where engineers focus on judgment, risk assessments, and accountability.
This paper presents the large-scale deployment and operational integration of an advanced, automated rheometer in the Ghawar gas field, one of the world’s most prolific and technically complex hydrocarbon developments.
Case studies from Devon Energy, ConocoPhillips, and others show how clever engineering and technology are being used to improve recovery and asset value.

Robots have the potential to move human operators away from uncomfortable, potentially risky environments and into comfortable, safe control rooms.
-
Operators need to take steps to protect their facilities from drone security breaches by outsiders. The costs an attacker incurs in developing tools to break into and control infrastructure is low compared to the costs an operator incurs in defending against those tools.
