Abstract
The coupling of Operations Technology (OT) and Information Technology (IT), by the application of Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and Industry 4.0, can significantly enhance the on-stream factor for the chemical plants, thereby leading to an increase in the productivity of the oil and gas industry. The major objectives are improving the reliability, energy efficiency, productivity, and safety while reducing the emissions and maintenance cost of the chemical plants. With the advent of the smart connectivity of field transmitters, cloud computing, and the application of big data analytics through prior knowledge of process operations, the augmented reality (AR)/virtual reality (VR) models can perform the predictive analysis, which facilitates to prioritize the operation parameters and the shutdown sequence, thereby resulting in an enhancement of the on-stream factors in the oil and gas industry. This chapter discusses the overview of Industry 4.0, its framework, component, and the benefits and challenges of its deployment in the oil and gas industry.
