Upstream exploration and production firms in the oil and gas industry have always dealt with the challenges of fluctuating demand and difficult-to-recover supply. However, they are finding the latest wave of IT-enabled tools and technologies can have a significant impact on productivity and safety. The intersection of IT and engineering is taking place throughout the discovery and completion ecosystem and gives enterprises the capability to garner real-time intelligence and improve decision-making onsite and in remote operations centers.

Narayanan Ramanathan will be one of five speakers to present the latest big IT-enabled engineering ideas at the ISG Imagine Your Future Workshop: Oil & Gas on June 24 in Houston..
