2017 Beyond Oil Digitalization：The Roadmap to Upstream Profitability 22页

Four concepts have been converging and provide an opportunity to achieve a better upstream
enterprise:
1. The ability to use powerful data analytics and visualization to make optimal and rapid
operating decisions
2. The emergence of effective machine learning and automation of knowledge work to make
complex decisions faster and with fewer experienced experts
3. The enabling of standardized designs via data- and model-driven reusable designs to both
speed up the “time to first oil” and also reduce the overall capital cost of asset development
4. The employment of model-based analytics that combine deep process insight with the power
of the analytics approach
