Technological advances in the oil and gas exploration and production (E&P) industry have improved the efficiency of the processes required to search and produce hydrocarbons. E&P companies can apply these advances in reservoir management techniques and system technologies to create intelligent, self-sufficient systems for exploring and producing hydrocarbons. These intelligent systems provide precise acces to hydrocarbons, optimal reservoir production over the asset life, and processing of produced fluids to improve oil recovery with minimal environmental impact. They can also help decrease the cost of producing hydrocarbons.
