Digital Transformation in the Oil & Gas Industry | 2021Social Friendly
Upstream, midstream, and downstream – digital transformation all over has a direct impact on every aspect of the oil and gas sector. Digital innovation does require investment, and ideally, the cost of transformation can be covered to a large extent through savings made in traditional IT systems and services.
In this white paper, Social Friendly looks at the areas in which digital transformation promises the greatest short and mid-term benefit for oil and gas companies, and how to best optimize existing IT management practices to help unlock the full potential.
With unprecedented success of recent manufactruing start-ups as GoPro and Tesla,
it is clear that global manufacturing can stage a renaissance despite of some challenges it faces.
If you wonder how you can ride the wave of cool manufacturing, be prepared to face these challenges right now.

Oil & Gas ICT Leader 2017 - Day 1 April 19th Ray Bugg
The industry is changing: against a challenging backdrop with a ‘lower for longer’ economic forecast, Oil & Gas companies are turning to technology to modernise and improve their operations. This transformation has seen IT repositioned as a core business technology, drawn from a background support function to a crucial centre of value creation and innovation. This tectonic shift places IT leaders in a vital position within their organisation, ensuring existing assets and emerging technology are effectively harnessed to deliver tangible business outcomes.
Cost reduction is still the primary mandate for most organisations, with ongoing efforts to strip back overheads and address key areas of inefficiency to cope with tightening budgetary restraints. But while the pursuit of ‘more for less’ has become a fundamental necessity, it is important that the strategy employs sufficient safeguards to avoid stifling long term progress. Organisations need to retain the personnel, the skills and the tools to ensure they still have the capacity to innovate.
One of the most prevalent trends of recent years has been a concerted move towards greater automation. Organisations are increasingly incorporating sensors, robotics and live data feeds to enhanced remote operations. But this digitisation of process is not just taking place in far flung fields; across the operation, digital technologies are being applied to enable improved visibility and insight. And data analytics is increasingly being used to evaluate asset performance, and enhance predictability, forecasting and decision making.
Whilst operators have made strides to address inefficiencies and create faster, more agile processes, there are still several barriers to progress. Organisations need to adapt their structure, break down internal silos and allow more cohesive and collaborative engagement. This collaboration also needs to extend to the wider supply chain and external partners across the industry. Skills and leadership is also a key barrier to progress, while cultural inertia still poses a problem for the industry and needs to be tackled head-on if digital transformation ambitions are to be achieved.
This conference will bring together IT leaders from across the world for knowledge exchange, thought leadership and collaboration. Now in its 4th year, the conference has established itself as the must-attend event for IT leaders working in Oil & Gas. The programme will explore the use of Information Technology in driving tangible business benefits, with topics spanning: data analytics, cloud, cyber security, automation, leadership and culture.
The presentation by Jason Wilcox, a Dallas energy investment banker, provides current trends on mergers, acquisitions and divestitures within the oil and gas industry in the United States.

Sachpazis:Terzaghi Bearing Capacity Estimation in simple terms with Calculati...Dr.Costas Sachpazis
Terzaghi's soil bearing capacity theory, developed by Karl Terzaghi, is a fundamental principle in geotechnical engineering used to determine the bearing capacity of shallow foundations. This theory provides a method to calculate the ultimate bearing capacity of soil, which is the maximum load per unit area that the soil can support without undergoing shear failure. The Calculation HTML Code included.
Using recycled concrete aggregates (RCA) for pavements is crucial to achieving sustainability. Implementing RCA for new pavement can minimize carbon footprint, conserve natural resources, reduce harmful emissions, and lower life cycle costs. Compared to natural aggregate (NA), RCA pavement has fewer comprehensive studies and sustainability assessments.

Key Point Message to Attendees on " Global Turbulence in Oil & Gas Sector and the Road Ahead for Sustenance to Petroleum Industries ."
1.
2. Why, Globally Oil & Gas sector particularly petroleum industries
are in doldrums ?
Lower crude prices
Competition from FLNG , tight crude / shale gas and new refineries
Poor demand of petroleum products due to market saturation
Ageing of Equipment causing frequent shutdown / catastrophes
Tighter regulation on spills & emissions
IIOT Digitization: Missing reliability of data & analytics resulting GIGO
Retirement & shortage of skill manpower
Lack of reliable expertise
Poor margin
Increased maintenance and operating cost
Lack of funds for integration of refineries with petrochemicals
Mandatory regulation for high quality products (Euro V)
Global Warming & Climate of Change and impact of emerging solar energy
3. . Low crude price an opportunity to India downstream industries both refineries & Petrochemicals
India is Oil & Gas hungry : Lowest per capita consumption
5. Changing Global Trade : North America largest upcoming steam
cracking capacity by 2016-21 followed by Middle East
Global Turbulence in Oil & Gas Sector
6. Global Turbulence in Oil & Gas Sector
Changing Global Trade : Strong growth in India expected over the
next 10 years though demand still be smaller than China

11. If we are not doing the “right” things
and are being highly efficient, we may
just be doing the “wrong” things
faster resulting no or poor
effectiveness
RBI/FFS need Expertize with
diligence
12.
13. RBI optimization, delaying maintenance / repairs,
reducing corrosion inhibitors , changing operating
condition, processing opportunity crude, cutting
headcount, these decisions if taken without
thought and analytics , can increase corrosion risk
leading to downtime, uncontrolled releases and
catastrophic failures or even total termination of
ageing facility
Cost Reduction & consequences

17. Ageing Assets : Learning from Past Failures
Replacement will cost $ 12000 Billion which can break the backbone of strongest Economy
24. MIQA needs Proactive M&I Culture in Ageing Plant
For the proactive culture to survive over the long term, it takes significant management
energy as well as a strong commitment from all levels of the organization
Ensure Integrity
& Reliability
27. There is a misconception that mature assets
are unreliable, unsafe and inefficient, but
with a robust and proactive asset integrity
management strategy in place , case to case
basis these assets can be made efficient with
enhanced life which need expertize to
understand their in-service behavior and
performance under top driven reliability
culture in an organization
28.
29. As per World Economic Forum , renewables achieved cost
parity with fossils in more than 30 countries without subsidy
All above resulting increased risk, more cost and high level of complexities to optimize performance of facilities, assets and workforce. However, in Asia, fate of downstream industries is differing region to region. Middle East is fully saturated and low oil price has broken the backbone of OPEC countries like Saudi Arab & Iran except USA which has become exporter instead importing earlier due to discovery of shale crude/gas . South East Asian countries including China are fully saturated in consumption of petroleum and facing the threat of big competition. However, in India, where per capita consumption of petroleum product is still lowest in the world taking the full advantage of low oil price regime and its economy shall grow since it imports most of its consumption of petroleum from outside. Falling oil prices and decline in consumption of petroleum products reducing the margin on one side and increasing maintenance cost due to outages / catastrophes on account of ageing of equipment. This, also causing poor image of company, penal action / pressure from regulators as well as public and politics which is a big threat and challenge to petroleum industries for its sustenance. World over, petroleum industries are in vicious circle at one side low price of product and other side rising maintenance cost and tighter regulations creating a situation of no way out. It is difficult and panic situation, if these off shore or on shore petroleum assets lack needy repairs or maintenance and are not being taken care due to want of funds, these assets will end forever due to natural degradation forces since as you know "Time & Tide wait for None".
Today, globally more than 70% downstream static equipment in petroleum refineries, petrochemicals and pipelines are victim of ageing either due to poor condition or because of expiry of design life. These assets are victim of poor design, inefficient construction practices adopted in the past, mal operation and poor maintenance causing faster corrosion & metallurgical degradation and fatigue failure. In this difficult time, if these ageing assets are ignored or not being taken care, they will die forever and this will result the total doldrums of world economy because heavy expenditure shall be needed to rebuild them or developing alternates by shifting the other source of clean energy like solar, hydrogen fuel and nuclear energy. This can change the total scenario of the world politics & economy since rebuilding can break the backbone of even most developed economy of the world.
Monitoring of ageing assets and quantifying the damages are not possible all the time due to constraints of accessibility, limitation of NDT technologies, lack of expertise, unwillingness of management for shutdown and lack of funding. Frequent outages of equipment, tighter regulations, awareness of environment in public and politics, rising maintenance cost, low oil prices and tough competition from FLNG & shale gas are matter of great concern to all upstream, midstream and also downstream petroleum industries. Decision on repair or replacement or salvaging the equipment is very crucial and a serious concern w.r.t. cost and time. For the sustenance, all oil and gas industries are seeking the outside expertize for the AIM & RBI of static assets for sustaining production and optimizing the maintenance cost. However, in spite of implementation of systems (AIM/RBI/RCM/PSM..) success is far away and the problem has aggravated instead getting the solution due to GIGO (garbage in garbage out) and poor analytics embedded in the software due to lack of real expertise of problem solving and poor reliability culture.
Reliability of static equipment is most important in refineries, petrochemicals and pipelines since if it fails/ leak, out of containment of toxic gases & hydrocarbons may cause severe consequences due to fire hazard, contamination of soil and polluting the environment. Today, globally everywhere in public and politics, there is big awareness on environment pollution due to spills and emissions resulting protest as well as pressure from regulators which is so high in some past cases that has broken the backbone of industry or resulted to its permanent closure. The consequences of fire may lead to emergency shutdown of plant, loss of human due to fatality, damage of equipment, poor on-stream service factor and lot of problem from regulators and public/politics.
