These processes are the first step in the supply chain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><strong>Midstream&nbsp;<\/strong><\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Midstream companies manage the bridge between extraction (upstream) and distribution (downstream). This includes storage, transportation, and pipelines and gathering systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><strong>Downstream<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Downstream is the post-production process of raw material once they\u2019ve been extracted. This is the stage that turns oil and gas into products that we, the consumers, buy directly. This step in the supply chain includes oil refineries, and of course, petroleum, diesel, and gasoline distributors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Upstream capabilities have taken off<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The oil and gas process begins with exploring and surveying the terrain for ideal drilling locations. In order to assess potential drilling sites, companies traditionally would manually gather information about the environment and make basic, short-term decisions based on that information.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Exploration involves identifying deposits and drill wells. Bringing more smart technology into this process is proving to be extremely productive and lucrative. According to a Microsoft and Accenture <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"report (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rcrwireless.com\/20160720\/internet-of-things\/use-cases-iot-oil-gas-tag31-tag99\" target=\"_blank\">report<\/a>, 89% of oil and gas executives believe that they can leverage analytics to improve their business practices.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, using sensors that are able to measure factors such as temperature, pressure, and anomalies, significantly less man-power is necessary to assess environments, and the amount of data that can be gathered and analyzed is exponential. In fact, managing the massive amount of data from upstream production is posing one of the biggest challenges for industry companies.&nbsp;Data storage and transmission is a major hurdle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.walkme.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/01\/shutterstock_1567806448-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7335\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.walkme.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/01\/shutterstock_1567806448-1.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.walkme.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/01\/shutterstock_1567806448-1.jpg?resize=300,204 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>A huge digital success for one company took place in 2016, when gasoline mogul, <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseiotinsights.com\/20160415\/channels\/news\/pumping-profits-shell-saves-1m-iot\" target=\"_blank\">Royal Dutch Shell, made an $87,000 investment<\/a> in cutting edge digital technology to monitor their oilfields in the temperamental and often dangerous Nigerian terrain. They chose to use Random Phase Multiple Access technology, developed by engineers who formerly worked for Qualcomm, to replace their manual data collection. The solution needed to be able to cover tough terrain and have long-range transmission capabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After only one year of deploying the equipment and utilizing software, Shell realized a <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseiotinsights.com\/20160415\/channels\/news\/pumping-profits-shell-saves-1m-iot\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">$1 million return<\/a> on their investment. This was due to the reduction in necessary site visits and the expedited data gathering and transmission process.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to <a aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rcrwireless.com\/20160720\/internet-of-things\/use-cases-iot-oil-gas-tag31-tag99\" target=\"_blank\">Business Insider<\/a>, the estimated number of devices used on oil extraction sites will increase by 70% in the coming year. The top technology for this stage in the industry is predicted to be an internet-connected sensor device used to provide metrics about the environment of extraction sites. Just like the Shell success story, oil and gas exploration and production will benefit greatly from integrating more digital capabilities into their processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img height=\"536\" width=\"1024\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.walkme.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/07\/Promote-Workplace-Digital-Fluency-1.png?w=1024&#038;h=536&#038;crop=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12117\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.walkme.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/07\/Promote-Workplace-Digital-Fluency-1.png 1200w, https:\/\/www.walkme.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/07\/Promote-Workplace-Digital-Fluency-1.png?resize=300,157 300w, https:\/\/www.walkme.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/07\/Promote-Workplace-Digital-Fluency-1.png?resize=1024,536 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Midstream and downstream companies are finding their digital footing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The equipment and maintenance used for transporting and refining raw materials are in dire need of an upgrade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to a <a href=\"http:\/\/dupress.com\/articles\/internet-of-things-iot-in-oil-and-gas-industry\/#end-notes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">Deloitte University Press<\/a> report, over 2,200 unscheduled refinery shutdowns occurred in the U.S. between 2009 and 2013.
