Modernizing Existing Upstream Infrastructure for More Digital, AI-Enabled Operations

Upstream oil and gas operators face growing pressure to improve production performance while working within tight capital and workforce constraints. Much of today’s infrastructure predates industrial AI, edge computing, and advanced analytics.

This white paper explores how E&P operators can modernize drilling and production environments without costly, disruptive rip-and-replace programs. By connecting and contextualizing data from legacy control systems, instrumentation, and field assets, operators can build a stronger foundation for predictive maintenance, remote operations, digital twins, and AI-enabled decision-making.

Learn how incremental modernization can help upstream operators:

• Connect data across legacy and modern field systems
• Improve production visibility and response times
• Enable condition-informed and predictive maintenance
• Preserve workforce knowledge and reduce tribal knowledge
• Support digital twins, analytics, and AI with reliable data
• Extend existing infrastructure and improve capital efficiency
• Scale modernization across distributed operations with less disruption
