Mature fields hold significant untapped potential for value creation through digital innovation and strategic optimization. This session showcases real-world case studies and practical applications where Digital Transformation has revitalized legacy assets. Emphasis will be placed on the deployment of advanced technologies—such as machine learning, artificial intelligence, IIoT, and automation—to enhance reservoir performance, streamline logistics, optimize maintenance, and improve operational efficiency.
Crucially, the session will also explore how these digital strategies contribute to sustainability goals: reducing emissions, minimizing energy and water consumption, extending asset life, and supporting safer, more responsible operations. By embedding sustainability into digital workflows, operators can lower their environmental footprint while maintaining profitability and production targets.
