Findings from the first survey of digitalisation in the oil and gas industry reveal there’s a strong appetite to ensure technology is matured to improve the sector’s connectivity, efficiency and sustainability but highlight the need to promote collaborative working if these transformational changes are to become a reality.
With support from Deloitte, the UKCS Data and Digital Maturity Survey was launched in June 2020 by OGUK, the leading representative body for the UK offshore oil and gas industry, in partnership with the Technology Leadership Board (TLB), the Oil and Gas Technology Centre (OGTC), and Opportunity North East (ONE) to assess the maturity of digitalisation across the sector.
The report was compiled with input from a cross section of more than 70 organisations and almost 40 individuals.
Graham Hollis, Office Senior Partner for Deloitte in Aberdeen added:
"This report provides timely insight into the topics that matter most to businesses of all sizes operating across the UK’s oil and gas sector. It is promising to see the progress industry has made to date in its digital journey, however it is clear there remains many challenges that need to be overcome for industry to truly maximise the opportunity provided by digitalisation."
