    Introduction to the Digital Oil Field 2.0

    At the turn of the century, the focus of the oil and gas industry revolved completely around volume rather than costs. Now, with a global pandemic and the oil market constantly fluctuating, the focus of the industry has been on digitalization in order to complete projects and reduce costs. In this webinar we will discuss the following and their impact on the industry:

    • Emerging digital technologies
    • IT and OT convergence
    • Sensors and control systems (SCADA)
    • Remote decision support environments
    • Workflow automation
    • Big Data
    • Digital core
    • Five stages of digitization

    Presenter:

    Jim Crompton, Professor of Practice, Petroleum Engineering Department, Colorado School of Mines

    Jim retired from Chevron in 2013 after almost 37 years. After moving to Colorado Springs, Colorado, he established the Reflections Data Consulting LLC to continue his work in the area of data management and analytics for the Oil & Gas industry. Jim graduated from the Colorado School of Mines (BS in Geophysical Engineering in 1974 and MS in Geophysics in 1976) before joining Chevron in Denver, Colorado. He later earned an MBA degree (1996) from Our Lady of the Lake University (San Antonio, Texas). In acknowledgement of his contributions in applications of information technology to business problems, Jim was named a Chevron Fellow in 2002. In 2013, Jim co-authored a book, titled The Future Belongs to the Digital Engineer with Dr. Dutch Holland, focusing on the issues of the impact of emerging digital technology on oil and gas operations. In 2017, Jim was named as the PNEC Cornerstone award winner. Starting January, 2018, Jim teaches a graduate level course in “Petroleum Data Analytics” at the Colorado School of Mines.
