The oil and gas industry is a massive part of our global economy, powering everything from cars to factories. But let’s be honest, it’s got its fair share of headaches. High operational costs, inefficiencies, and safety issues are just a few of the major problems. Did you know that energy costs make up about 15% of total production expenses in this industry? That’s huge! And here’s a fun fact: recent studies show that by optimizing energy use, upstream operators could save up to 20%. That’s a whopping $10 billion in cost reductions per year for the upstream sector. So, it’s clear there’s a lot of room for improvement.
