Industry help is needed to perfect cost-saving pipeline software tools
Nearly half (49%) of senior oil and gas professionals see digitalization as necessary to boost profitability and 39% expect spending on it to have risen in 2017, according to DNV GL research published earlier this year.
Companies across the oil and gas value chain are embracing digital transformation as a crucial component of pipeline management tools for maintaining cost efficiency while enhancing operational safety and sustainability.
“Better use of data can deliver a wide range of benefits,” said Kaare Helle, innovation manager, DNV GL - Oil & Gas. “New approaches to analytics are helping companies draw new insights from historical data that have been filed away for decades. Greater use of sensors is creating new data sets, making it possible to monitor, predict, and plan for the future with increasing accuracy.”
This transformation is also changing the way in which the industry innovates to make data-driven technologies such as real-time barrier management, automated emission monitoring and predictive maintenance a valuable and cost-effective reality.
”Digital innovation is making our sector more collaborative more quickly and iteratively,” Helle added. ”Using digital tools, we are able to combine data sets and create insights much faster and in ways not previously possible.”
