Which deepwater plays are still attractive?
December 04, 2017
Sponsored by: Wood Mackenzie
With the downturn lasting longer than most expected, explorers and developers alike are directing their scarce capital towards deepwater's sweet spots. As a result, the geography has narrowed. In the three years before the downturn, there were 23 countries with more than five deepwater wildcats completed. Since the start of 2015, only nine countries — those with the lowest breakeven prices and easiest commercialization — have reached this mark.
In this report we explore:
• The location of deepwater sweet spots
• Key subsurface characteristics of deepwater sweet spots
• Breakeven prices of deepwater developments
• Deepwater yet-to-find potential
• Most valuable deepwater opportunities
Bsquare 2017 Annual IIoT Adoption Survey
November 10, 2017
Sponsored by: Bsquare
Did you know that 73% of your oil and gas industry peers already have an IIoT solution in place? Bsquare’s 2017 Annual IIoT Adoption Survey also found that while industrial organizations have enthusiastically adopted IIoT, a majority have not yet moved to advanced analytics orchestration of data insights. Download the white paper for full survey findings, an overview of the current state of IoT adoption and more.

Industrial IoT: From Concept to Reality
July 03, 2017
Sponsored by: Bsquare
The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is dramatically shifting how businesses operate. IoT capitalizes on using software, sensors and devices to predict equipment failures along the supply chain, track performance in real time, and help refine designs and processes to prevent failures in the future. For the Oil & Gas professional interested in digital innovation and IoT, this ebook will walk through the five stages of IoT progression, describe the value of each stage, and illustrate a real-world, end-to-end deployment.
