Increasing production output while keeping operation costs flat or ultimately decreasing them is a huge challenge of the Oil and Gas industry as demand for energy globally continues to rise. Combined with the increasing complexity of extracting oil from non-conventional sources and squeezing every last drop of production out of existing sites, these challenges demand flexible, scalable and sustainable operations. This has a major impact on control systems, and oil and gas producers continually look for ways to increase their efficiency and performance, while reducing the risk associated with new investments and lowering total cost of ownership.

Systems that integrate control and safety are becoming better known and more widely adopted in the industry, as they provide a variety of benefits compared with disparate systems. Yet, while the Oil and Gas industry has a heavy reliance on power solutions, there’s very little discussed around the integration of power control into existing control and safety solutions, and, therefore, benefitting even more from increased integration: a single vendor, reduced training costs and one software development package.

This webinar will highlight today’s market dynamics and the challenges organizations are facing and discuss the value of integrating control, power and safety solutions to meet the evolving needs of the Oil and Gas industry from the optimization of existing operations to the development of new operations.
