Analyst Oil & Gas Themes 2016

Christopher Manfredi

“Autonomous subsea systems are broadening their capabilities to include production treatment and down-hole operations. Aggressive companies are expanding the use of algorithms to control complex operations such as drilling.”

- Gartner

Remote & Autonomous Operations

“Field intelligence and field strategy analytics include productive surveillance, collaboration centers, upstream modeling, real time drilling, and field management”

- Gartner

Advanced Analytics and Business Simulation

“The use of digital sensors to monitor field equipment, facilities, personnel and inventories continues to expand across the entire oil and gas landscape. Combining data from these sensors with equipment, financial, transactional and engineering data is unleashing many forms of analytics, including new simulation models that are providing reliable predictions of future performance under multiple scenarios. These enable oil and gas leaders to test and assess their best options for increasing recovery, reliability and safety.”

- Gartner

Augmented Humans and Machines

“The midstream market is focused on increasing productivity as the number 1 driver, and this is consistent with the challenge of meeting the current demand to transport hydrocarbons with an infrastructure that needs improvement. Midstream companies need to optimize processes and apply technologies to automate and improve performance as much as possible, but it is interesting to note that reducing costs while high only ranks as the number 5 IT driver.”

- IDC

Productivity Enhancement

Asset Integrity and Performance Management

“The adoption of APM solutions and services is spreading rapidly because of the number of convergent factors. Many point to concepts such as big data and the Internet of Things (IoT) as the primary drivers, but these only represent part of the dynamic. Cloud is a critical component, as is mobile technology and social technology…Indeed, Gartner anticipates that investments in APM solutions and services will increase exponentially in the next five years, as asset owner/operators and equipment OEMs alike seek to benefit from this market transformation.”
