Thank you for attending the SPE Forum.
Plan your attendance to other SPE events in your region or technical area.
The oil and gas industry has been at the forefront of high-performance computing for seismic and reservoir modeling for almost three decades, but has lagged in data foundation, transfer and storage, big data analytics, and mobile computing, as compared to the IT industry. Likewise, contracting, procurement and sales have followed the old traditional, tried-and-true but slow, unwieldy approach.
More recently, “digital transformation” is changing the way we work. Brought about by ubiquitous and inexpensive micro- and nano-sensors, mobile computing, cloud/GPU high-performance computing and blockchain, the oil and gas industry is realizing the impact of this transformation. In particular, the industry sees the impact of AI, automation and robotics on the bottom line across the full value chain, from prospecting to hydrocarbon sales. All oil and gas companies, from the super-majors to independents, vendor partners, and specialized service companies, are paying heed to the wave of digitalization. The winners will be the companies that continue to evolve and adapt to the digital revolution.
We are closely monitoring the impact of the coronavirus on travel and events. At this time, we are moving forward with our plans to host our forum in Austin. If those plans change, we will notify everyone involved through emails and the websites.
This forum focused on potential value capture and future applications of digitalization across the whole value chain that will:
Enable new data platforms, ensuring quality and integration across silos and value of information
Influence enterprise organizational capability decisions
Forum discussions covered data acquisition, management, transfer, analytics and governance across the entire upstream hydrocarbon industry including exploration, development, production, contracting/procurement, and organizational capability. The need for new relationships between producers and vendor partners was also covered along with external influences and adoption of learnings from other industries.
