European Automation & Control Solutions Market in the Oil & Gas Industry - Forecast to 2022 - ResearchAndMarkets.com
The "European
Automation and Control Solutions Market in Oil and Gas Industry,
Forecast to 2022" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's
offering.
The dependence of the oil and gas (O&G) industry on automation has
increased in the last decade, and this is expected to double by 2020. As
a result of project cancellation followed by the fall in crude oil
prices from 2014-2016, multiple rounds of industry layoffs were
announced that left O&G companies with a reduced number of skilled
workers. This increased the dependence of Oil companies on automation in
order to complete the processes without any delay.
Initiatives to digitize oil fields are being implemented, and this had
led to investing in instrumentation in order to increase productivity
and complete projects within defined budgets and timelines. These
initiatives have been found to be extremely beneficial, especially in
offshore rigs, to gathering production data in a timely manner.
The automation sector has evolved from supplying hardware equipment with
aftermarket services to becoming more service-based, offering software
tools that can translate huge volumes of data into meaningful,
intelligent information that can be leveraged to make important business
decisions.
The trend of selling individual control systems-such as distributed
control system (DCS), Supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA),
safety instrumented system (SIS), manufacturing execution system (MES),
and industrial asset management (IAM)-has changed as demand for an
integrated system with multiple functionalities has found to increase.
Although the 'digital oilfield' technology has significant growth
opportunities within the O&G industry, its full-scale adoption is being
limited by the numerous challenges. Some of those are lack of sufficient
cyber security, lack of standardization across platforms and
conservative mindset of the top management of the end user companies.
However, with more investments in IoT platforms that offers advanced
cyber security and protocol compatibility, it is predicted that these
challenges will be soon addressed in addition to plant connectivity.
