    Digital Twins: What impact across the full oil & gas value chain?
    Digitalization

    The Digital Twin (a virtual, dynamic, and integrated representation of a physical asset or process over its life cycle) is one the latest digital technologies attracting significant industry attention. Yet, most Digital Twins in operation in E&P today focus on one or more discrete asset functions (e.g., drilling, maintenance, production)—IHS Markit records very few attempts to capture the entire asset in a Digital Twin. What is hampering industry-wide adoption? How is the Digital Twin driving integration across functional groups and across the E&P lifecycle? What are emerging technical and organizational challenges that may impede value realization and sustainment?

    How Digitalization Is Disrupting Refining & Petrochemicals
    Downstream, Midstream & Chemicals Digitalization

    Digitalization, aka Industry 4.0, is changing the future of the petrochemical, energy, and related industries, with respect to long-term sustainability (e.g., environmental responsibility, cost efficiencies). Moreover, digitalization is expected to change the way these industries construct and operate assets, that is, to produce at a higher quality products and services with less human and natural resources, environmental impacts, and in a safe manner. First movers are implementing digital technology across operational areas with the use of cloud and cognitive computing and automation—all involving the integration of business processes and digitalization technology. However, this speed of adoption for a company is complex; governed by the speed of its change management within a transforming enterprise. What is the status of adoption? What types of barriers to implementation do the refining and petrochemical industries encounter? What successes have they achieved thus far?
