Energy is not what it was even a few years ago. Understanding emerging information technologies (especially AI) and their impact on all types of energy and their respective industry, and the roles and responsibilities of IT and non-IT stakeholders in leveraging these emerging technologies in light of the digital transformation, will be at the heart of all of the courses.

  2. Asset performance management
  3. Hydrocarbon exploration and production
  4. Intelligent plants
  5. Better safety measures
  6. Finding new resources
  7. Automated Supply Chain Management

Naturally, having accurate, accessible, secure data is fundamental to a successful AI initiative, thus providing additional topics addressed in this program.  As an illustration, The Digital Petroleum Certificate focuses on the use of IT to enhance the strategic, tactical, and operational elements across the petroleum industry value chain.

This 4-course certificate is intended for aspiring IT and non-IT leaders in the upstream, downstream and midstream energy industry. While the entire value chain is covered, the major emphasis is on the exceptional IT challenges of upstream, in light of transforming emerging technologies (e.g., blockchain, cognitive computing, analytics, big data), industry changes, and regulations. 

The courses are designed for the respective energy and the participating IT and non-IT professionals whose roles involve leveraging digital industry opportunities to provide demonstrable value from their IT investments, in light of the digital transformation and emerging information technologies (e.g., AI, blockchain, social media, analytics, big data), while addressing important considerations like providing a secure infrastructure and hybrid work environment.
