| | SEPTEMBER 20198CIOReviewThe digital oilfield vision includes many use cases of technology. Advancements for the oilfield are keeping up and maybe outpacing Moore's Law which suggests technology capability doubles every two years. However, the application of technology to a use case is not enough. `Working digital'--a new normal must be our aspiration.My vision for California Resources Corporation (CRC), as CIO, is `A Digital CRC'. Advancing toward our goals of safe and efficient operations, the nuances of working digital, whether in the oilfield or in the office, begin with our reliance on data and information. Each employee's contribution will be elevated when they are empowered with a universal source of truth providing real-time data, correlated across disciplines. A robust network architecture extending to our remote facilities allowing for seamless transfers between mobile devices and desktop computers will unleash the power of productivity throughout the company.The digital CRC roadmap includes well site data correlated to historical and facility information, ready for a decision on course of action. It includes field personnel collaborating real-time with the office. The software will further enhance safety and reliability as well as minimize downtime by predicting mechanical issues allowing for proactive maintenance. Algorithms will predict project success and recommend priorities, maximizing the results of operations and development teams. Data visualization systems will pull together relevant data and offer an easy to use display that allows analysis with a micro view and a macro view with searchable electronic documents.By Cynthia Johnson, EX CIO, California Resources CorporationTHE DIGITALVISIONIN MY OPINION
