RE: Energy education: Will digital technologies really be the next competitive advantage for oil majors?

in Education3 years ago

Certainly robotics benefits from digitization, for example: on the floor of a drilling rig the driller can operate in an automated fashion and activate a hydraulic wrench to screw in or unscrew a drill pipe.

Also oil and gas production can be optimized, as the operational process improves with automation, thus the construction of oil wells will be better and so will future production.

No jobs are lost, as the personnel could be trained to handle the digitization, and the workers who do not operate in digitization can be sent to other labor-intensive jobs, on a drilling rig there is a lot of work, so I do not think jobs will be lost.

The digitization technology is already in use in well drilling, however it is something that is still under development and has a long way to go.

I hope I have clarified your questions, greetings and thank you for sharing your valuable comment.
