| | JULY 20196CIOReviewWith the advancements in automation technologies, oil and gas companies today are in a better position to monitor and track their pipelines and networks. They are implementing advanced analytics to identify problems preemptively and take remediation measures before the situation grows out of hand. By dint of these proactive strategies, companies can reduce the maintenance cost by a wide margin. Also, with automation and augmented reality, workers can carry out risky repairs remotely using drones and high-quality visual imaging techniques. Soon, the oil fields and downstream plants will be equipped with more sophisticated sensors. Device connectivity, data processing, and applications workloads can therefore be managed both on the edge device and the cloud. These capabilities will allow oil and gas companies to cope with the increasing global supply demands, volatile prices, and stringent environmental regulations.However, in today's digital world, business leaders in the oil and gas space should remain vigilant in cyberspace governance across their upstream, mainstream, and downstream value chain. Complacency increases the risks across the business with lasting impacts on an organization's financial performance as well as reputation.
