About the Course

How can emerging, smart connected machines transform the modern digital oil & gas industry across the board? More and more instruments are being connected nowadays in the transformative journey towards a wholly automated enterprise to create a digital value proposition and stand out of from the crowd in oil & gas exploration and production business 

Delegates of his 5-day comprehensive Fundamentals of the Internet of Things (IoT) in the Oil & Gas Industry training course will gain first-hand exposure to new advantages generated through the adoption of Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) technologies in the oil & gas, where non-human data creation, communication and actions continue to grow as part of the next-generation automation ecosystem.

Modern oil & gas information control models are multi-dimensional, multi-organisational and very complex. Decisions made last for decades, thus it is critical to account for long-term scenarios with resilience and agility. The application of IoT is not a technical challenge, but change management, cultural and mindset transformation challenge to motivate team members to create use cases. There is a long leap from sensor data to IoT- enabled business value. It will provide innovative methods to overcome the challenges associated with the application of IIoT in the oil and gas industry and highlight how to link IoT initiatives to corporate strategy in order to optimise deliverables.

Core Objectives

The delegates will achieve the following objectives:

• Describe non-human data creation, communications, and actions
• Create the map IoT elements onto logical information control design models
• Recognise the implications of increased connectivity
• Develop an essential Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) model
• Optimise the design and function of IIoT systems

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, including presentation of theoretical concepts, team and individual exercises, case study analyses, educational videos, lab exercises and real-life applications. The delegates will also be acquainted with the design and implementation of IoT systems and defend the decisions made.

The Attendees

This training course is designed for those who might be new to the field of Internet of Things and Industrial Internet of Things and will serve as useful building blocks for those already active in this area. It is equally relevant to those involved in the broader application of digital oilfield.
