Digital Transformation
The oil and gas sector stands on the edge of a digital revolution, yet legacy systems and resistance to change continue to hold it back. I reflect on my experience in digital drilling and argue that the industry’s biggest barrier isn’t technology itself, but the culture that surrounds it.
For YPs entering the industry, cracking the data code is more than a technical exercise; it’s your power skill and your competitive edge.
Founding dean of Missouri S&T’s Kummer College, James D. Sterling, sat down with Joshua Schlegel, associate professor and associate chair of nuclear engineering and radiation science, to discuss why nuclear power is making a comeback and what its resurgence means for the future of energy.
