Research Overview

This edition of the Oil & Gas TOE features information on the use of non-intrusive ultrasonic flow sensors in well heads, pipes and tanks providing real-time data to improve oil production. The TOE covers innovations based on the deployment of remotely operated vehicles to mitigate risks and optimize performance during oil and gas exploration and production activities. The TOE additionally provides insights on the deployment of cost-effective methane pyrolysis technology for producing hydrogen and carbon black from natural gas. The TOE also provides latest innovations in the use of frac plugs made of composite materials to improve multistage well simulations while reducing drill times. The TOE finally provides intelligence on use of cloud-based software platforms for autonomous operations and monitoring of oil and gas assets, use of high resolution acoustic imaging for downhole diagnostics, and the use of predictive digital twins for oil and gas asset integrity management.

The Oil and Gas TOE provides intelligence on innovations pertaining to technologies, products, and processes, along with strategic insights, in the upstream and downstream processes in the oil and gas industry.

The Energy and Utilities cluster provides global insights and intelligence on a wide variety of disruptive emerging technologies and platforms ranging from energy storage, advanced batteries, solar and wind energy, to unconventional oil, bioenergy, geothermal energy, and energy transmission.
