About the Course

Digitalisation, in its various forms, is slated to transform the landscape of every industry, including oil & gas operations. This is achieved by adding new game-changing efficiencies and transcending barriers to boost production while containing costs simultaneously. As the industry shifts paradigms toward more complex fields after successfully exploiting the relatively “easy oil,” effective digitalisation becomes the need of the hour.

In this interactive 5-day Applied Digitalisation for Oil & Gas Industry training course, the delegates will gain first-hand exposure to new efficiencies added through digitalisation while honing digital engineering skills required to boost competitiveness and cultivate a culture of innovation in today’s highly dynamic milieu.

As more instruments are added to the oilfield, the digital industry phenomena will dominate and inevitably result in a tectonic shift in workplace digital skills requirements. Digital successful companies will witness more hybrid engineers who possess both digital and technical asset skills. Furthermore, digital engineers understand and mitigate the implications of unintended risks.

The delegates will acquire knowledge and hands-on experience to become more effective developers, evaluators, and users of digital platforms. They will learn strategies to perform quality checks on digital systems, make recommendations to embark on opportunities, and proactively control predicted risks.

Core Objectives

The delegates will achieve the following objectives:

• Appreciate the cyber representation of physical assets and its implications
• Effectively evaluate modern information flow and control models
• Refine digital engineering and Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) skills
• Prepare the workplace for the coming generation of digital natives
• Know how to deal with the convergence of operational technology and information technology
• Familiarise with digital connectivity and its exponential growth

Training Approach

This training course will utilise various proven adult learning techniques to ensure maximum understanding, comprehension, and retention of the information and innovative methods presented. This includes presenting theoretical concepts, team and individual exercises, case study analyses, educational videos, and real-life applications. Delegates in this training programme will receive thorough training on the subjects covered by the daily outline.

The delegates will also learn to develop a modern information flow and control model for an actual field. The delegates will also be acquainted with the design of digital systems and defend the decisions made.
