<\/p>\n

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.<\/h1>\n

\"\"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. Earlier this month I was asked to moderate the opening panel at the inaugural\u00a0Future Downstream conference<\/a>\u00a0in London, and it was an eye-opening session. One of the panelists was Blaine Tookey, Technology Principal – Digital Innovation Organisation, BP, who explained that one of the challenges he found in digital was that the downstream businesses were such a conservative industry. \u201cWe have big challenges around safety, worker practices, and unions, that make it difficult to get certain technologies adopted,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

Although he accepts the challenges, he still sees digital as one of the most impactful areas in his business over the next few years. \u201cWe are putting much weight on it,\u201d he says. \u201cWe have got a handful of transformative technologies that we are working on.\u201d Amongst the digital technologies in BP\u2019s toolbox are cloud, chatbots, mobile and video<\/p>\n

Looking to the cloud<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cloud is certainly not new; it has been around for almost a decade now. \u201cEveryone has been working on cloud solutions,\u201d Tookey explains. \u201cIt allows you to reduce your storage cost to almost zero. Processing costs are quite higher though but there\u2019s enormous opportunity What you need to do is to bring data together. Not just your data, but your contractor\u2019s data, your supplier\u2019s data then fit into the whole Big Data conversation. We need to produce portals showing the data and undertake simple transformations on the data.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
