This Micro Boom evaluates short term (20142016) opportunities across the midstream oil and gas value chain in North America (i.e., Canada and the United States) organized by business, growth, and profit opportunities. Key focal points of the research include investment climate for transportation and storage infrastructure and its impact for automa...

The abundance of global offshore oil and gas reserves encourages end users to expand exploration and production activities at deep-water and ultra-deep-water levels to ensure sustained profitability. As solution providers aim to provide integrated packaged solutions such as separation, compression, boosting, and water reinjection at the ocean floor...

Abundant offshore reserves, regional requirements for energy independence, and high depletion rates in existing fields led to a growing investment climate for automation systems amongst end users in the upstream oil and gas (O&G) market. While traditional systems that facilitate control and safety across the upstream value chain continue to evolve ...

An incremental rise in domestic crude oil production in the United States along with the potential inflow of Canadian heavier crude is poised to disrupt the dynamics of the oil and gas downstream market. As end users invest in upgrades, retrofits, and new greenfield refinery projects, there is ample opportunity for automation vendors to enhance the...
