Edge Computing Transforms Data Processing And Sustainability In The Oil And Gas Sector

Amid the challenges of cost reduction, managing demand volatility, and the need for increased competitiveness, the oil and gas industry finds itself at the forefront of technological innovation. With the growing production of data in exploration and production operations, the solution to efficiently handle this information avalanche points to edge computing technology. Schneider Electric, through the experienced perspective of Davi Lopes, Director of Distribution, Inside Sales, and Digital Transformation, highlights how this technology is crucial for data processing and the energy transition in the sector.

The Need For Change: Why Edge Computing?

The oil and gas industry generates impressive amounts of data, with offshore platforms producing up to two terabytes daily. To transform this data into valuable insights for the business and sustainability, it is imperative to capture and process it quickly and effectively. Edge computing presents itself as a promising solution, processing data locally, resulting in a range of significant benefits.

Five Reasons To Adopt Edge Computing

Bandwidth Savings: Edge computing technology allows data to be captured and processed at the source, significantly reducing costs associated with transferring large volumes of data to and from the cloud.
Reduced Latency: By processing data closer to where it is generated, edge computing minimizes latency, that is, the delay in response time, facilitating quick and efficient decision-making in exploration and production processes.
Improved Reliability: The ability to operate data processing locally, even in the event of an internet or cloud connection disruption, ensures enhanced reliability and reduces downtime, contributing to the sector’s profitability.
Cybersecurity And Data Privacy: With edge computing systems, the security of processed data is enhanced. The distributed architecture facilitates the implementation of robust cybersecurity measures, protecting information against unauthorized access.
Support For The Energy Transition: In a context where sustainability is becoming increasingly prioritized, edge computing supports the oil and gas sector in the transition to renewable energy. The technology optimizes data collection and analysis, essential for increasing operational efficiency and promoting low-carbon energy production.

Schneider Electric: Pioneering And Innovation

Schneider Electric is leading the way in integrating process and energy technologies, promoting sustainability and efficiency through digital transformation. With the commitment to empower everyone to maximize the use of resources and energy, the company positions itself as an essential digital partner for sustainability and efficiency, following its mission to make life better and more sustainable for future generations.

A giant printer called the “Ferrari” of concrete has landed in Latin America and can already build a 120-square-meter house in just 48 hours, making the traditional construction site look like something from the last century.

Brazil will harvest a record crop of up to 357 million tons of grains, but it does not have the capacity to store a large part of it. The storage deficit has reached the highest level in history and is equivalent to almost the entire production of Argentina.

Four times faster than the Concorde, capable of taking passengers from New York to London in less than an hour at Mach 5.5, and with an engine that switches from turbojet to ramjet mid-flight at Mach 3.5, the Hermeus Quarterhorse went from paper to its first flight in just 19 months.

Under nearly 2 kilometers of ice in Antarctica, scientists have discovered an ancient landscape sculpted by rivers up to 60 million years ago, the size of Wales, preserved as a time capsule that could help predict the advance of ice towards the ocean.

She started by collecting oyster shells from restaurants and today she has already accumulated more than 10 tons to restore reefs, recover coastal habitats, and demonstrate how a common waste can become a tool for ocean conservation.

SpaceX will dock a $843 million vehicle to the International Space Station to push a nearly 420-ton laboratory against the atmosphere and make the debris fall in a controlled manner into the ocean.

Scientists find in pigeons’ livers a possible “biological compass” capable of explaining how birds follow invisible routes through the Earth’s magnetic field.

US proposes extra tariff on Brazil for “forced labor” and raises alert about new commercial pressure against Brazilian exports

How remains of a 17th-century ship found in Finland turned into dresses: wood from the Hahtiperä shipwreck, buried for over 300 years, was transformed into textile fiber by Ioncell technology.

World Cup paintings can result in fines and even legal action in some cities, but many people still ignore this rule before the tournament.

Fishermen find a rare 127 kg substance inside a whale in Yemen, sell the “whale vomit” for $1.5 million, and become millionaires with the find in the Gulf of Aden.
