Recent low prices, rapidly growing alternative fuels like renewables, the permanent swing from peak oil to super abundance, shifting consumer preferences, and global pressures to decarbonize suggest a challenged industry for the foreseeable future. Digital advances offer ways to lower costs of production, improve productivity, reduce carbon emissions, and regain public confidence.
Written by the world's leading experts on the intersection of digital technologies and the oil and gas industry, "Bits, Bytes, and Barrels" addresses the impacts of digital across the breadth of the industry — from onshore to offshore, from upstream to midstream to integrated — and outlines a road map to help decision-makers at all levels of the industry take meaningful action toward promising and rewarding digital adoption.
