Predictive Analytics in Oil and Gas – 3 Types
Operators implement predictive analytics for oil and gas in three different ways: for equipment failure, process failure and system failure.
How Predictive Maintenance Works – 5 Steps
Predictive maintenance provides operators with a reliable estimate of when maintenance will be needed on an industrial asset. The 5 steps of predictive maintenance start with data acquisition. Then, data processing identifies whether a failure will occur in the near future. Finally, the processed data is stored and visualized for operators to analyze and make […]
Nord Stream Pipeline Explosions – What we can learn about security elements for Oil & Gas operations
Incidents such as the Nord Stream pipeline explosions highlight the need for security in the energy market. Specifically there are three ways companies should secure operations including: asset visibility, risk mitigation and incident response.
The Wireless Mine Site
Trend Overview Wireless technology has been a critical part of every mine site for years. However, choosing which type of wireless has become more complex with the choices of Wifi, LTE, 5G, LoRaWAN, and multiple fixed wireless or mesh options. This document will position each of these technologies for their most valuable use cases so […]
The Wireless Refinery
Trend Overview Wireless technology has been a critical part of every refinery for years. However, choosing which type of wireless system to deploy has become more complex with the choices of Wifi, LTE, WiHart, ISA100 and multiple fixed wireless or mesh options. This document will position each of these technologies for their most valuable use […]
Remote Operations in Oil & Gas
Operators continue to struggle with achieving remote asset operations. The good news is, Cisco has an ecosystem of partners that can collectivey deliver both a remote operation center experience, as well as a full hybrid work experience.
Autonomous Operations in Mining
Cisco’s infrastructure solutions are a critical part of an autonomous mining solution. Two practical ways that Cisco technology makes autonomous projects more successful is through reliable wireless coverage and broad instrumentation partnerships.
Artificial Intelligence in Oil & Gas
Trend Overview In 2021, Schlumberger identified their use of AI in oil & gas reduced non-productive time by around 30% and increased performance and efficiency by approximately 30%. They also shared more dramatic anecdotes, but 30% as a general stat is quite impressive. Mckinsey, in their 2021 state of AI report, identifies the most dramatic […]
Artificial Intelligence in Mining
Trend Overview In 2022, one of our mining customers announced they had recently leveraged technology initiatives to realize over $1B in annual benefit. More than 75% of the benefits were related to data, machine learning, and automation. Although machine learning is only one part of artificial intelligence, it is a critical one in mining operations.
