The Third Wave of Digitization – Coming to the Oil and Gas Industry
Brad Bechtold, Director of Cisco Canada's Oil and Gas Vertical Business





In just a short time cloud computing has been revolutionary for business.

In many industries, this new paradigm has transformed how we work, giving us the power and information we need to be productive almost anywhere, while at the same time helping to reign-in ballooning IT costs.

So is this just technology for technology's sake or are there some real benefits to cloud computing for Oil and Gas?

The Digital Oilfield is already here - What will the next five to ten years look like?
  • AI- autonomous self driving trucks in oilsand mining operations.
  • unmanned aerial vehicles surveying pipelines for leaks.
  • thousands of mini sensors measuring fugitive emissions around facilities or floating through pipelines pre-empting leaks.
  • machine operators becoming robot conductors.
  • rapidly expanding needs for analysts to interpret and leverage the deluge of info in Big Data.
  • predictive AI security analysis seamlessly protecting information assets.
  • negotiations impacted by immediately available predictive analysis and demands for all partners to implement the same and trust the information?
