Where do we stand 6 months in 2020?
we decided to investigate the reality of data and crunch our numbers from www.projectsmartexplorer.com to make an inventory halfway through the year.
Today trends on the market give us the forecast Capital Expenditures for 2020 should end-up at the same level or above compared to 2019. Previsions for 2021 are also high, fueled by projects postponed.
Medias have largely covered the last weeks Ups and Downs of the Oil & Gas and Petrochemical industry. Well, mostly the Downs in fact.
To figure out the reality, we crunched the numbers from our database www.projectsmartexplorer.com
In fact, the outlook of the Petroleum industry is rather different than what has been massively reported.
Once the context awareness done, the question is no more “if” but “how” should the Oil & Gas industry turn digital.
For this purpose we designed a simple list to breackdown and categorize all the Use Cases from digitalization applicable to Oil and Gas operations.
All crises are creating threats and opportunities, but the accumulation of a double crisis in energy prices and pandemic Covid-19 generates a unique situation.
In this unusual context, we try to evaluate the consequences of this double crisis on the Oil & Gas and Petrochemical market, especially the areas under threats and in opposite way where we should see opportunities.
Whereas automation had clear applications in both manufacturing and processing industries, robotization was left behind when talking about the process industry.

The Geofizicheskoye and Utrenneye fields may generate […]

The volume of Oil & Gas and Petrochemical engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contracts awarded in 2018 is about to double compared with 2017 as a consequence of the market shift from the international oil companies (IOCs) to the national oil companies (NOCs) and independent companies.
