Driving Transformation Through Technology and Data Analytics

Tapping Hidden Data Traps to Unearth Treasure-troves of Insights

The energy sector’s complex data ecosystem is based on multiple asset or function-specific business systems creating data silos with disjointed processes, and ubiquitous databases and platforms that impede visibility, transparency & collaboration. With data volumes of a typical energy company doubling every 18 months, cloud technologies rapidly advancing, and AI investments growing by 40 percent each year, the potential for energy companies to make better use of data is tremendous.

Upstream

Energy & Oil Gas

For upstream operations, analytics can optimize the allocation of capital across assets, well designs, and even help cap greenhouse gas emissions. In total, analytics could reduce breakeven costs by US$10 per barrel of oil equivalent (BOE).

Real-time Visibility
  • Optimize field capital allocation & velocity
  • Optimize equipment & integrity supply chain operations
  • Quantify & prevent GHG emissions in operations

Midstream

Energy & Oil Gas

In midstream and downstream operations, most value from data & analytics come from the prevention of unnecessary equipment failures, improvements to inspection programs, and the optimization of energy consumption. In total, ironing out a host of minor inefficiencies could improve margins by US$2/BOE.

Resource Planning
  • Optimize gas pressure across gathering network
  • Eliminate unplanned equipment downtime
  • Optimize integrity/corrosion management

Refining

Energy & Oil Gas

In the oilfield and equipment services (OFES) space, analytics is slowly being adopted to optimize internal supply chains and operations planning. However, the most meaningful value will come from digitizing products and services. In total, Infinity estimates that the market for upstream digital service providers will be US$10-15 billion by 2025.

Process Efficiency
  • Optimize operational reliability and energy cost
  • Optimize turnaround efficiency
  • Optimize the input-output(crude/product slates) mechanism

Retail

Energy & Oil Gas

In retail operations, the greatest value from analytics lies in optimizing fuel pricing, improving the customer experience and reducing distribution costs. In total, Infinity estimates that these and other actions could increase revenue by 10 percent and margins by 0.5 percentage points.

Network & System Optimization
  • Optimize fuel pricing
  • Optimize loyalty programs & new customer offerings
  • Optimize logistics & distribution
