Abstract
AbstractThe Digital Oil Field is rapidly gaining attention within the oil and gas industry. Several oil and gas operators are working to develop their vision for an oil field of the future, testing new technologies, setting up programs and participating in industry events. The vision is an integrated approach allowing more real-time control of asset management. Many different names are used in the upstream industry to describe this trend; Smart Fields, Digital Oil Field, Next Generation Oilfield, Field of the Future, e-field, Instrumented Field and Intelligent Energy. However, there is still uncertainty as to what needs to be done and what value it will actually bring to the industry. Several operators and service companies are transitioning from the initial envisioning and abstract phase to projects creating measurable value for the company. In this paper, Chevron's efforts within the Digital Oil Field domain, including concept, business case, corporate governance, technology development, partnerships, deployment and field experience are presented.
