Application of Industry 4.0 model in Oil and Gas companies

Abstract

Although the concept of Industry 4.0 was defined a decade ago, experts have only been talking about the "Oil and Gas 4.0" model in the last few years. Experts in this industry agree that the "Oil and Gas 4.0" model in use, based on the digitalization and intelligence of the oil and gas industry, can bring huge benefits to the company. However, the "Oil and Gas 4.0" model is still in its infancy, but applications in areas such as big data (BDA), industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), or analysis of typical oil and gas industry chain application scenarios through examples, such as an intelligent oil field, an intelligent pipeline, and an intelligent refinery, make today's challenges real. So the essence of the "Oil and Gas 4.0" model is a data-driven intelligence system based on high digitization. This paper provides an overview of the state and development of the Industry 4.0 concept in the Oil and Gas Industry.
