Overview: The upstream oil and gas industry has long advocated and depended upon advanced technologies as a major contributor to its success. Whether it be 3D seismic processing made possible by fast and reliable high performance computing and storage capabilities or the ubiquity of PCs, servers, PDAs, and mobile communication devices. Data and information such as reservoir models, well logs, digital data from sensors, production accounting, and management information drives the industry. Forecasts show increasing demand for oil and gas, both as an energy source and as a feedstock for petrochemical based products. This paper outlines some of IBM's current thinking on future technologies, identifies key themes, and speculates on their impact on the upstream industry.
