"Digital transformation is the means to future-proof your business model for the next generation workforce. Post-COVID, remote working has become acceptable. In addition, proven technologies in other industries, particularly in offshore production facilities, enable the rethinking of onshore downstream operations. It is an exciting time to integrate strategy and organization, technical operations, and advanced and emerging technologies to modernize and remake the Oil and Gas industry."
