He has seen businesses transformed through analytics with multiple millions of dollars in value and cost savings. He recently designed an asset performance center for a major California investor-owned utility, utilizing a “digital twin” concept for monitoring asset performance.
One of the most challenging aspects of the oil and gas pipeline industry for this writer is its collective failure to embrace the technological advance of virtually every other industry – the use of an integrated data environment and real-time analytics to govern day-to-day operations.
