A white paper issued by Siemens
A digital roadmap for offshore oil and gas
After two and a half years of cutbacks, reduced capital spending, and project delays, a harsh reality is setting in for the oil and gas industry: “lower-for-longer” oil prices may be the new norm and companies are going to have to change the way that they do business in order to remain competitive.
This comes as the world sits on the cusp of the Fourth Industrial Revolution – a time when the proliferation of digital tools and technologies is enabling businesses across every industry to work smarter, make better decisions, and improve project outcomes. From improving patient diagnoses in healthcare, to guaranteeing on-time arrivals in rail networks, to increasing production in automotive factories, the capabilities offered by Industry 4.0 are real and they are fundamentally transforming the way businesses operate.
