Identifying Barriers to Adoption
In 2007 SPE survey – many barriers (SPE110236)Data availability – finding data is a dominant issueTechnical and business analysis – lack of integrationDecision making – lack of automated workflows

Abstract
This presentation covers the lessons learned from the adoption of digital technologies in upstream production operations and how they relate to the similar challenge of the adoption of automation inproduction operations and how they relate to the similar challenge of the adoption of automation in drilling operations.
The audience for this presentation is the community of engineers and technologists interested in advancing the adoption of automation and related digital technologies in oil and gas drillingadvancing the adoption of automation, and related digital technologies, in oil and gas drilling operations. The last decade has seen the adoption of automation and digital technologies in upstream production operations. This transformation of the upstream production business is ongoing and the objective is often referred to as the Digital Oilfield (DOF).
The adoption of DOF has many similarities to the adoption of drilling automation. It is a multidisciplinary challenge involving many technologies and stakeholders. In both drilling and production, the challenges include cultural barriers to change, integration challenges, transformation of workflows, increasing complexity in operations, a lack of process optimization and a workforce in transition. There are many p y p , p p ylessons learned from the adoption of the Digital Oilfield, such as the role of professional societies in providing industry thought leadership, the role of workflows, change management, building business cases and methods to accelerate adoption. This presentation will provide an overview of these issues, how they have been addressed during the adoption of DOF and how that experience can help the adoption of drilling systems automation
