*Please note that this report only includes an Excel data file if this is indicated in "What's included" below
Report summary
Digitalisation is normally viewed through the lens of the operator and the operational benefits it delivers: principally, lower cost of barrels and improved safety. But for the upstream supply chain, many of the ideas and new operating models disrupt their current business. For a sector that is still experiencing the impact of the worst downturn in a generation, digitalisation represents both an opportunity and a threat.
