What's inside?
Digitization may push the oil and gas industry into a greener future.
Recommendation
Industry creates waste. But better decision-making can reduce waste, and better data analytics should lead to better decision-making – hence, the importance of digital transformation within the fossil fuel industry. In this white paper from the World Economic Forum, Bob Dudley makes the argument that speedier digitization could mean an added $1.6 trillion in value for fossil fuel companies. That’s good news for an industry struggling with a tumultuous market and societal change. Millennials are demanding greener energy; the oil and gas industry will have to scramble if it wants to deliver.
