The 21st Century
Connected Digital Oilfield
July 17th . 2025. 14:00 UK Time
The Connected Oilfield was launched as a live event in 2004 and held in various locations including Aberdeen, Abu Dhabi, Abuja, Cairo, Kuala Lumpur and Rio de Janeiro, more than 50 events in total. The virtual configuration attracts hundreds of connectivity specialists from all of the world's E&P operations centres. We are interested to hear about how New-Wave technologies such as the Edge, AI, IoT, Machine Learning and Software Defined Networks, are revolutionising efficiencies in the offshore E&P environment and how advancements in Terrestrial + Non-Terrestrial Connectivity and Private 4G, 5G and LTE Networks, are combining to deliver enhanced and robust connectivity and cope with unprecedented data volumes.

From Digital Oilfield to Regenerative Intelligence
Let's explore a 20-year leap from Petrobras’ pioneering “Digital Oilfield of the Future” pilot to today’s cloud-native, AI-driven fields—where quantum simulation, 5G/LEO connectivity and digital twins are table stakes, yet success still hinges on People + Process + Technology. How coupling cutting-edge interfaces with regenerative culture and community-focused KPIs can turn efficiency gains into net-positive value for business, society and the planet.

How HAPS Wireless Infrastructure Platform Vehicles can Serve the Oil and Gas industry
HAPs (High Altitude Platforms or High Altitude Pseudo-Satellites). These are systems that operate in the stratosphere, typically at altitudes of 20 to 50 kilometres (12 to 31 miles) above the Earth's surface, much higher than commercial aircraft but below satellites. The oil and gas industry is using more data than ever in locations that are now served only via expensive telecommunications satellites. High altitude Wireless Infrastructure Platforms can provide a lower cost and higher quality alternative.
