WHITE PAPER
From Data to Decisions: Leveraging Technology to Future-Proof Energy Investment
Published 28 October 2025
Energy systems across Asia and the Pacific are undergoing significant change. Driven by net-zero communications, reliance on non-fossil fuel energy sources, and technology advancements, the way in which energy is produced, distributed and consumed is evolving. Underpinning this transition is the growing use of data and digital technologies to support more informed, timely, and resilient decision making.
For oil and gas companies, investing in emerging technologies is becoming increasingly important to maintain competitiveness and efficiency. However, uncertainty around outcomes can present challenges in securing funding. To address this, organisations need strategies that reduce risk by measuring performance against clear operational and business objectives. Tools such as predictive simulations and continuous learning loops provide the visibility needed to make more accurate investment decisions and build flexible, responsive plans.
This whitepaper highlights how three companies, Hexagon, Matahio Energy, and Hibiscus Petroleum, are applying digital technologies to navigate these shifts. Their experiences show how digital tools can not only enhance performance and reduce risk but also support longer-term value creation in a complex and changing energy landscape.
The Energy Trilemma: A Digital Imperative
The challenges are multifaceted: balancing growth with sustainability, navigating diverse regulatory environments, dealing with aging infrastructure, and managing a shifting workforce.
In the power sector, utilities are under pressure to meet demand reliably while modernizing grids and integrating distributed energy resources (DERs). Meanwhile, the oil & gas industry is focused on cost control, operational efficiency, and extending asset life amidst rising complexity and merger and acquisition (M&A) activity.
Hexagon helps organizations meet these demands by delivering real-time visibility, risk-informed decision-making, and connected digital workflows. Our solutions enable organizations to manage projects and assets with greater clarity—across the entire lifecycle—while ensuring regulatory compliance and operational integrity.
The ongoing challenge of balancing energy security, affordably, and sustainability, has taken on new urgency. Regulatory requirements are tightening, ESG considerations are gaining prominence with investors, and the pace of digitalisation continues to accelerate.
In this environment, oil and gas companies are expected to meet growing stakeholder demands while maintaining operational performance in real time.
“The data already exists – we’re now transforming it into actionable insights that support smarter operational decisions,” says Marcus Haynes of Hexagon, a global provider of digital reality solutions. Hexagon’s integrated approach, blending simulation, design, and monitoring technologies, enables asset intensive industries to align immediate decision-making with long-term resilience.
