In the recent past, Dubai and China have increased oil and gas exploration activities. Moreover, these activities are at an early stage and do not rely on any predictive technologies.
China has increased shale gas exploration in the recent past to support its growing economy (Peak Oil, 2012). It has accounted for over 4% of the country’s total energy usages since 2010. Moreover, the global shale gas demand has increased steadily (Dittrick, 2012). China depends on crude oil from other countries to support its economy. The discovery of shale gas, however, may change dependence on foreign oil and gas.
The oil and gas industry in the UAE has continued to grow as the region discovers new fields. It accounts for significant volumes of the global oil and gas production. New studies in the oil and gas sector show that the world will continue to depend on these sources of energy as the demand increases. Moreover, the product of gas from the region has increased steadily (Butt, n.d). The region considers oil and gas resources as the major strongholds of its economy and the major sources of revenues.
A closer look at oil and gas exploration activities in China shows that both countries experience critical challenges that hamper their efforts to extract these resources. Snyder Software’s Predictivity Solution for the oil and gas industry can help these countries to overcome many issues. It will offer a full package that consists of Industrial Internet applications that will allow the industry players to get critical insights from data generated during operations. This would facilitate effective decision-making in the sector. Snyder Software’s Predictivity Solution will allow the industry to improve production, asset lifecycle, reduce costs, manage risks, and deploy resources effectively by ensuring asset optimization and operations optimization. The solution will rely on discoveries on predictive analytics, intelligent machines, and resourceful workforce.
Snyder’s solution will allow oil and gas firms in these countries to turn data into meaning intelligence to improve productivity. Monitoring systems have abilities to generate huge amounts of data in a single day (SRI International, 2012). Therefore, Snyder will provide solutions for the analysis of voluminous and complex data regarding temperature, pressure fluctuations, pump conditions, and fluid elements, among others. Snyder’s solution will ensure that companies derive business values by converting raw data into useful information for decision-making (IBM Business Consulting Services, 2004).
Snyder’s solution shows great opportunities for companies in asset and operations optimization. It will ensure that companies capture, store, and utilize data effectively (SRI International, 2012). Thus, past challenges associated with data management in the oil and gas industry will no longer be major issues. Besides, Snyder Software will provide the required training to allow end-users to overcome critical issues in data management, analyzing and understanding historical patterns. As a result, the industry will understand business-critical decisions and implement them before they have any adverse impacts on operations and performances.
There are several cross-cultural differences between the US and the Gulf region, the US, and China. Experts in cross-cultural differences have highlighted certain areas where businesses may have trouble in these cultures. Therefore, it is imperative for Snyder Software to understand the Gulf region and Chinese cultures and business practices (Morrison & Conaway, 2006).
