AI, IoT & Cybersecurity Drive Digital Transformation in Oil & Gas — Rockwell Report

Rockwell Automation's commissioned GlobalData report shows AI, IoT and cybersecurity are reshaping oil and gas operations.

Why AI, IoT and Cybersecurity Matter

Digitalization is now a strategic imperative for the industry.

AI optimizes drilling, forecasts demand, and boosts refining efficiency.

IoT sensors deliver real-time equipment health and environmental monitoring.

Cybersecurity protects data, OT/IT convergence, and regulatory compliance.

• Key drivers: predictive maintenance, remote monitoring, automation.
• Supporting tech: cloud, edge computing, digital twins, VR/AR.
• Outcomes: reduced downtime, lower emissions, improved safety.

Roadmap to Digital Success

Adopt a clear digital strategy and the right delivery model (SaaS or hybrid).

Invest in workforce skills and align digital tools with measurable production outcomes.

Projected energy sector AI spend: $18.5B by 2028 — a chance to gain resilience and agility.

“The convergence of information and operational technology is redefining how energy companies operate.” — Fabio Mielli, Rockwell Automation

Start with small scalable pilots, secure OT/IT layers, and expand successful use cases.
