Understanding The Impact Of The Internet of Things In The Oil & Gas Industry
Course Info
Course Summary
The Internet of Things is a relatively new term, and while often used, it is rarely understood. Regarding the future of the oil and gas industry, the Internet of Things will clearly feature heavily in reshaping the future landscape of operations in the field. It creates efficiencies and helps companies work smarter, meaning that upscaling and growth become a realistic possibility.
In this course, delegates will explore and understand the Internet of Things and all of the terminologies that accompany it. One such term is the Industrial Internet of Things, and leaders and professionals within the gas and oil industry must understand these things. The benefits that the IoT offers will enable challenges that have so far been unresolved to be addressed and rectified. Technology is the future, so developing these valuable digital skills will help career development and progression. You can become a technical expert and assist your company as it cultivates its new culture, including digital transformation's sustainability.
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Demonstrate a complete understanding of IoT
- Understand non-human actions and communications
- Describe data creation from a non-human source
- To be confident about how IoT impacts the gas and oil industry
- Work with mapping IoT elements
- Use design models using logical information control
- To be confident with cloud computing and using elastic cloud
- Recognise the impact of increasing connectivity
- Construct an Industrial Internet of Things model
- Understand IIoT and optimise your design
This course is intended for
- Oil and gas industry professionals interested in innovative technology
- Oil and gas industry professionals involved in the adoption of IoT technologies within their companies
- Oil and gas industry technical professional
- Oil and gas leaders from business and government
- Leaders and professionals dealing with energy resources
- Educators of engineering and digital developments
- Researchers working in digitalisation related to engineering
- Anyone looking to upskill for career progression in the gas and oil industry
Teaching takes place in various settings, including face-to-face classroom teaching. It will ensure that participants can expand their knowledge of the subject and increase their skill set. The course is delivered via various methods by a specialist tutor. This will include PowerPoint presentations, reviewing articles and other relevant materials, group or individual exercises and discussions. There may be some independent work set, and the course will require submitting articles to demonstrate understanding and an end-of-course test. Note-taking is encouraged, and you are welcome to use electronic devices.
The course manual will form part of the learning but will give you references for the future. You are encouraged to ask questions and, if needed, spend time one-on-one with your tutor to review any issues. You can network with peers in similar roles during your time in the classroom.
