As oil and gas operations were disrupted significantly by the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020, it became evident that greater digitalization was vital to ensure the maintenance of operations when worker access is limited. With innovative solutions popping up from start-ups around the world and greater interest from oil majors, it is only a matter of time until we see greater digitalization across the oil and gas industry.

During the pandemic, governments introduced several rounds of varied restrictions on the movement of people and limitations on access to the workplace.

When you talk about disruptive technologies and how they are shaping the future of the oil and gas sector the focus is usually on upstream activities, but the downstream sector is also a fertile proving ground. As a sector, it has taken stock of what is being achieved by upstream operations as well as casting an eye over activities in other industries and is starting to formulate strategies.

It is an area often a secondary consideration at the many oil and gas conferences that fill the calendar, but there are a few exceptions.
