| dc.description.abstract | The oil and gas industry continuously enters a phase with new challenges and new ways of thinking, the rise of a digitalization revolution can be the key answer to creating new opportunities to overcome the industry's challenges. The “new reality’’ of low oil prices, Covid-19 still threatening, and the increased focus on climate and environmental considerations globally, has led to a shift in the mindset of the industry; from an increased-production focus to a cost-efficiency focus while maximizing the productivity, minimizing operating costs and sustain operating flexibility. Accomplishing this new way of working may perhaps require a digital transformation.
There has generally been little technology development and digitization in the well intervention sector compared with the drilling sector. Real-time data, onshore support centers, and automation have long been used in the drilling sector. This master thesis introduces an innovative project that is being implemented by ALTUS Intervention. Digital Well Intervention (DWI) is a digital platform that digitizes large parts of today's way of working and how ALTUS Intervention is delivering well intervention services. This master's thesis studies how DWI will affect the work process in ALTUS Intervention. The thesis will provide concrete examples of how DWI improves work processes both internally and externally. The project is still in the planning phase, and thus, concrete proposals are given for the further development of DWI. Furthermore, it is studied how DWI can provide value creation. This is based on several case studies with a similar approach as the DWI platform that has been shown to be a great approach to value creation. | |
