The question of how best to connect oil and gas operations / production expertise with digital technology could be one of the most important questions for the industry.   If we get it right, we can solve three big problems:

• Enable a smaller number of industry experts to make better decisions and keep industry operations reliable
• Enable industry experts to continually learn, from having a better situation awareness, provided by better software, powered by the best possible data, and having a better understanding of the impact of their decisions
• Provide employment for many people configuring and modelling software so it provides the situation awareness which individual experts need - because all expert's needs are different, one-size-fits-all software won't work.
