While advanced technology, such as 3D and 4D seismic down hole sensors, and bandwidth can provide vast amounts of near real-time information that can help companies be more successful in exploration and production, there is often too much complex information to assimilate and understand. This convergence of forces, threats, and technology is creating a perfect situation for the emergence of intelligent oil field. New, innovative technologies can help companies remotely and automatically monitor wells and fields, and consequently take preventative measures to help avoid production downtime. The anticipated result is value creation in billions of dollars each year through better finding and recovery rates, reduced lifting, manufacturing, and overhead costs, and increased production. Oil & Gas solutions that leverage analytics, predictive maintenance, and engineering insight are helping firms improve business results across the global operations from exploration and production, to refining, processing, and distribution. These companies are increasingly looking at how to harness their data across their supply chain by connecting the people, processes, and assets. Going forward, automation and digitalization are expected to keep Oil & Gas competitive as a form of energy over the course of the next few decades. Whether we like it or not, every year, humankind is likely to burn a bit more Oil & Gas than last year. In terms of absolute numbers, the demand is growing and new fields need to be developed and the output of existing fields needs to be boosted using latest technology.On that note, we present to you this special edition on technology for Oil & Gas industry. We are featuring 20 Most Promising Oil & Gas Technology Solution Providers who have been evaluated on the grounds of their innovative solutions.
