Digitalization in OIL
OIL had started its digital journey in the year 2019 to imbibe best of Industry 4.0 technologies and put them in use for enhanced operational efficiency for the company. Accordingly project DRIVE (Digital Readiness for Innovation & Value in E&P) was initiated. The primary focus of project DRIVE was on addressing the critical pain areas of OIL, like optimizing gas lift, ensuring real-time status monitoring of wells, analytics and AI in possible functional domains, project management issues like time overrun and effective asset management using IoT, predictive maintenance etc. A total of 11 digital initiatives were taken up under project DRIVE as highlighted below
OIL implemented 11 innovative digital technologies
As of now, 9 out of these 11 digital initiatives are operational and 2 remaining projects are likely to go-live shortly. The success of DRIVE initiatives with visible value addition testifies company’s visionary digital aspiration fortifying foundation of OIL’s Digital journey.
Currently, a multifunctional team is working on next phase of OIL’s digital initiatives under the project DRIVE 2.0. A major focus of DRIVE 2.0 is to set up an integrated Command and Control centre for OIL encompassing all OT and IT infrastructures of OIL.
