AUTONOMY IN THE OIL & GAS INDUSTRY

AUTONOMY IN THE OIL & GAS INDUSTRY
Steps for implementing autonomy
7 - 8 March 2012
Sola Strand Hotel, Stavanger
“The Autonomy in the Oil and Gas Industry Conference 2012 will focus on the steps required for a successful
implementation of autonomy in the oil and gas industry. For 2012 and forward, it was decided to rename the
conference from “Autonomy in IO” to “Autonomy in the Oil and Gas Industry.”
The steps may include development of regulatory measures, appropriate man--machine interfaces, testing
procedures, new technologies (hardware and software), better “system” understanding, procedures for gradual
implementation, and technology paths. Technical and engineering challenges will also be addressed. Lesson
learned from other industries will complete the picture.
The conference will feature talks with specific focal points combined with a panel discussion focusing on
reviewing selected topics from multiple angles.
The panel discussion will target key issues for successfully implementing autonomy in the oil and gas
industry.”
