Wow! The Neanderthal like approach to new technology from the oil and gas industry is staggering. Thanks for the post shl468.
As the saying goes, necessity is the mother of invention. The oil and gas industry simply hasn't had any real need to be technologically advanced due to the absolute need for energy and lack of real competition. Not to mention the huge profits made. That is changing now.
Passionate motivated people like Suzanne West at Imaginea need to know about the AOT.
Excerpt from the article:
The conference started off well. Rob Tasker of TRTech and Tom Jenkins of OpenText spoke about the digital revolution taking place now with data management and transmission tools (and the amazing potential of big data and the Internet of Things). On the other side of the spectrum, Suzanne West movingly described her moment of realization that the oil and gas sector needed to become more environmentally responsible. She has created a new company, Imaginea, to work towards that goal. Dawn Farrell of TransAlta also did a great job describing the specific technological issues that her company could use some innovative digital support with (for example, a better system of monitoring their giant boilers for minute cracks).
STWA are hamstrung... for now at least. Is now the time we longs get more proactive in getting the word out?
