Oil & Gas

Sustainability & The Circular Economy

The drive towards lower carbon emissions is expected to have a significant impact on demand for oil and gas, and hence for margins in the sector. In addition to reducing emissions, expectations rise of a ‘circular economy’ where waste is re-used or captured. Oil & gas providers must employ software platforms that allow them to adapt to this new reality and capitalize on related opportunities.

Global Supply Chains

Oil & gas companies are inevitably exposed to global supply chains, which must be robust enough to cope effectively with unexpected disruption, transparent enough to provide the visibility customers increasingly demand and flexible enough to provide greater business agility. IT systems should support new digitally-enabled supply chains that can deliver greater security, efficiency and value.

Reimagine Energy

Companies in the oil & gas sector will transform their business models – whether to a greater or lesser degree – to compete in a low-carbon future. Diversification into adjacent businesses – like wind power or energy storage – may play a part, along with personalized product offers and greater service provision. Enterprise applications must be able to adapt to accommodate constant change.

Transforming Your Workforce

Digital technology provides oil & gas providers with the means to start operating for the future, today. Predictive maintenance and analytics enabled by connected devices can improve utilization and reduce downtime; integrated mobile technology enables real-time visibility that improves execution and productivity. Automation is an essential element across the new technology landscape.
