Description

This issue of Oil and Gas Technology Opportunity Engine (TOE) features information on the development of IoT platforms for the remote monitoring of oil fields and also the development of SaaS-based asset management software platforms to maintain all relevant data used in the operations of oil & gas companies. The TOE also features trends and innovations associated with the use of artificial intelligence for seismic data analytics and the use of cloud-based software platforms for several upstream and downstream processes associated with the oil & gas industry. The TOE also provides intelligence on the use of pyrolysis for remediating the soil contaminated with crude oil and the use of electrocoagulation- based produced water remediation to remove oil and grease compounds during onshore as well as offshore operations. The TOE additionally provides insights on the development of robots for remote oil field monitoring and the use of novel carbon capture processes for natural gas sweetening. Furthermore, the TOE provides intelligence on the use of satellite imagery to monitor global methane emissions and the use of microwave plasma technology for the conversion of natural gas to hydrogen.

The Oil and Gas TOE provides intelligence on innovations pertaining to technologies, products, and processes, along with strategic insights, in the upstream and downstream processes in the oil and gas industry.

The Energy and Utilities cluster provides global insights and intelligence on a wide variety of disruptive emerging technologies and platforms ranging from energy storage, advanced batteries, solar and wind energy, to unconventional oil, bioenergy, geothermal energy, and energy transmission.

Keywords: Artificial intelligence, machine learning, pyrolysis, thermal desorption, soil vapor extraction, electrocoagulation, natural gas sweetening, borehole ballooning, microwave plasma technology, steam methane reforming
