Oil & Natural Gas

The latest information technology (IT) innovation has made the intelligent oil field possible. Massive amounts of sensor data can now be stored and searched using advanced visualization technology — allowing data to remain at the source and avoiding transmissions of massive data stores. Complex data patterns can be detected automatically, so the right person can be alerted (or the designated individual can be alerted — and a response can be initiated before a production problem occurs. The technology groundwork has been laid for the intelligent oil field to become a reality.
