Description

The oil and gas (O&G) sector is experiencing a significant technological and digital transformation. Companies are shifting their focus from traditional operational technologies (OTs) used for automating O&G processes to newer, more advanced technologies, including AI, IoT, and robotics.

O&G companies have significantly increased their adoption of automation technologies for upstream activities, particularly for offshore automation. The most sought-after automation technologies include sensors, transmitters, controllers, SCADA systems, PLCs, and DCSs. However, strong digitalization trends have driven the demand for predictive maintenance, ML, and IoT-driven monitoring technologies. Moreover, pressing concerns have emerged in the O&G sector, including the need to increase workplace safety and boost production efficiency and sustainability. Automation technologies offer a direct solution to these challenges. As pressing regulations and digitalization trends advance, the sector will continue to evolve and become more autonomous.

This study analyzes 10 dynamic firms driving meaningful progress in the digitalization and automation landscape in the O&G sector.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
