A Harvey Nash / KPMG CIO Survey 2020 industry report
Operational priorities, technology investments, business performance, cloud and data security, diversity and inclusion in Oil & Gas
2020 was a tumultuous year for the oil and gas industry. Commodity prices, already significantly depressed, were exacerbated by disagreements between Saudi Arabia and Russia over production levels. And then COVID-19 struck. The pandemic dramatically reduced demand as commercial and consumer transport modes effectively went into hibernation and manufacturing output dropped. Despite all this, for the foreseeable future the world will go on significantly relying on fossil fuels in the new reality.
From a technology perspective, everything must be geared around enabling efficiency and cost gains. Systems and data must be integrated across front, middle and back offices to deliver more precise forecasting, enabling shorter decision cycles that drive profitability and reduce waste.
