據(jù)今日油價(jià)網(wǎng)站12月15日消息 技術(shù)情報(bào)公司ABI Research周三在一份新報(bào)告中表示，石油和天然氣行業(yè)將在本世紀(jì)末投入156億美元用于數(shù)字轉(zhuǎn)型，以加強(qiáng)網(wǎng)絡(luò)安全、維持安全運(yùn)營(yíng)并創(chuàng)造可持續(xù)績(jī)效。

ABI Research表示，目前，石油和天然氣行業(yè)面臨著運(yùn)營(yíng)、商業(yè)和生存方面的威脅，因?yàn)闇p少排放、防范網(wǎng)絡(luò)攻擊、保持運(yùn)營(yíng)的可靠性和安全性的壓力越來(lái)越大。

該行業(yè)在安全服務(wù)方面的支出預(yù)計(jì)在2021-2030年間每年增長(zhǎng)8.1%，并在本世紀(jì)末達(dá)到6.4億美元/年的支出。石油和天然氣公司預(yù)計(jì)在2030年在物聯(lián)網(wǎng)（IoT）設(shè)備和應(yīng)用平臺(tái)上的投資將超過(guò)50億美元，而在數(shù)據(jù)分析方面的投資預(yù)計(jì)在本世紀(jì)末將達(dá)到近20億美元。

數(shù)字化在許多石油和天然氣公司中越來(lái)越受歡迎，這些公司尋求更好地監(jiān)控和報(bào)告運(yùn)營(yíng)和排放情況，并提高針對(duì)網(wǎng)絡(luò)威脅的安全性。近年來(lái)，該行業(yè)的企業(yè)在數(shù)字化方面投入了更多的資金，這可以節(jié)省時(shí)間并降低成本。

ABI Research的工業(yè)和制造業(yè)首席分析師邁克爾·拉納表示：“技術(shù)的作用正在從幫助石油和天然氣公司監(jiān)控其大型、復(fù)雜和危險(xiǎn)的運(yùn)營(yíng)轉(zhuǎn)變?yōu)閹椭麄儍?yōu)化其設(shè)施，以應(yīng)對(duì)其運(yùn)營(yíng)環(huán)境中的波動(dòng)。”

拉納表示：“網(wǎng)絡(luò)攻擊對(duì)洛尼爾輸油管道的影響使石油和天然氣作業(yè)的安全問(wèn)題大為緩解。企業(yè)面臨的問(wèn)題是，即使花費(fèi)無(wú)限的資金來(lái)保護(hù)網(wǎng)絡(luò)和資產(chǎn)，也無(wú)法提供100%的安全性，因?yàn)楣粽咧恍枰淮五e(cuò)誤就能造成嚴(yán)重破壞。”

Oil And Gas Industry To Spend $15 Billion On A Tech Transformation

The oil and gas industry is set to spend $15.6 billion on digital transformation by the end of this decade to enhance cybersecurity, maintain safe operations, and create sustainable performance, technology intelligence firm ABI Research said in a new report on Wednesday.

Currently, the oil and gas sector faces operational, commercial, and existential threats due to increased pressure to reduce emissions, protect against cyberattacks, and maintain the reliability and safety of operations, ABI Research said.

The industry’s spend on security services is forecast to increase by 8.1 percent annually from 2021 to 2030 and reach an annual spend of $640 million at the end of this decade. Oil and gas companies are also projected to spend over $5 billion in 2030 on Internet of Things (IoT) devices and application platforms, while investment in data analytics is expected at nearly $2 billion at the end of the decade.  

Digitalization is becoming increasingly popular with many oil and gas companies that seek to better monitor and report operations and emissions and boost security against cyber threats. In recent years, firms in the sector have been spending more money on digitalization, which can save time and reduce costs.

“The role of technology is evolving from helping Oil and Gas firms monitor their large, complex, and dangerous operations to helping them optimize their facilities to handle the volatility in their operating environments,” Michael Larner, Industrial & Manufacturing Principal Analyst at ABI Research, said.

According to ABI Research, data analytics coupled with IoT platforms “have become essential to identifying issues ahead of time such as pipeline degradation, wellhead performance, and pollution from gas flares. Increasingly, however, network security is rapidly becoming a concern for both the C-suite and Governments.” 

“The effect of the cyber-attack on the Colonial Pipeline put the subject of securing oil and gas operations in sharp relief. The problem for firms is that even spending unlimited amounts to secure networks and assets will not provide 100 percent security as attackers only need one error to cause havoc,” Larner said.
