“…In addition, the effective maintenance system also correlated with the cause-effect diagram relating to elements such as labour, equipment, method and machine [71] along with data, policies, techniques, considerations and instrumentation/tools [67,72]. The efficiency of the Maintenance Management System (MMS) may also be associated with the incorporation of AI techniques in the form of fuzzy games, neural networks and so forth in maintenance modeling and decision making [73,74] in addition to the involvement of high human expertise [75].…”

The effectiveness of a maintenance management system can be measured by the way a function has achieved its intended objectives and generally evaluated based on the quality of the product or service provided, from the perspective of the user. The issues of high casualties in terms of personnel, millions of dollars in losses due to the unexpected shutdown of operations, environmental threats and the impact on the country's income should be addressed. Malaysian Oil and Gas Firm’s maintenance system efficiency practices, technology availability, the selection of suppliers, the influence of preventive maintenance on company performance and the rationale for choosing PM for downstream activities were considered in the interest of the nation. The primary purpose of this study is to use a qualitative methodology to examine PM procedures at a Malaysian oil and gas firm. The oil and gas sector is commonly linked with high-risk, cutting-edge technology projects that can have devastating economic and ecological effects if anything goes wrong. The study utilized the semi-structured interview with 10 identified oil and gas maintenance management personnels such as Managers, Supervisors and Staffs who are attached to Maintenance Department as the ‘gatekeepers’ as they are the one who are directly involved directly in maintenance management activities as well as preparing the reports and data with regards oil and gas companies maintenance management system used for the study. The result from the study stated that the personnel involved in maintenance activities appreciate the practices utilized however with the new methods introduced, the study also proposed, appropriate maintenance implementation as well as the involvement of several parties in aspects of planning and formulating maintenance policy up to the implementation stage in the oil and gas operators’ operation. The study can provide significant implications for theoretical, methodology and management involvement in terms of preventive maintenance contribution to organizational performance. This study analysed the issue raised in the implementation of preventative maintenance, specifically in Turnaround Maintenance in oil and gas company.

Fracturing treatments in reservoirs with high tectonic effects or soft rock can lead to multiple challenges during fracturing treatment placement. Challenges like low injectivity and increasing pressure require expertise at each step. The decision-making process can be time consuming, which impacts operational efficiency. On the other hand, making a suboptimal decision affects the well performance. This study investigates how digital frameworks and infrastructure can enable imbibition of domain knowledge for efficient decision making. The scenario management can enhance operational efficiency by enabling faster and efficient decision making. Precision and consistency in flush volume can also be achieved, and the amount of proppant placed can be optimized, thereby avoiding premature termination and screenouts. A near-wellbore screenout contingency utilizing the surface well testing manifolds can help avoid CT cleanout in certain cases. Stimulation efficiency can be significantly increased by lowering the number of stages skipped due to low injectivity. Seven scenarios were considered in a wide spectrum of treatments and completion types. Detailed contingency workflows were developed in different rock types for (1) design considerations for flush volume, (2) increasing pressure during the fracturing treatment, (3) overflush criteria in case of premature treatment termination, (4) screenout, (5) low injectivity, (6) reperforating, and (7) tubing-annulus communication. During the workflow development, the reservoir quality index, degree of rock consolidation, rock strength, and completion rathole were important factors considered. A state machine automaton approach was utilized here to treat each action and condition in the flowchart as a state which advances based on rules and conditions. The solution was realized in two modes, interrogator, and simulator. The interrogator mode can be used by the user in a static case in pre-treatment or post-treatment scenarios. The simulator mode is built to integrate with the time series data stream and provide recommendations based on the data received, hence acting as an intelligent advisor on the wellsite. Comprehensive validations of the solution package have been conducted with synthetic and real data sets to show the experience of using the advisor. The solution has potential to enhance operational efficiency and reduce cost in multiple ways.

Digital transformation has emerged as a significant driver of innovation globally, with Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) nations actively participating in this evolution. This systematic review provides a comprehensive assessment of the digital transformation in the GCC’s oil and gas sector over the past decade. Through a rigorous bibliometric analysis of 505 documents sourced from the SCOPUS database, this study examines trends in research outputs, affiliations, and publication types. The analysis reveals dynamic trends in research outputs, with the GCC showing a substantial growth in publications in recent years, particularly mirroring global trends, albeit on a smaller scale. Despite this progress, GCC publications in 2023 represent approximately 30% of the decade’s total, reflecting opportunities for increased research investment and international collaboration to enhance scientific output. Key findings highlight the United Arab Emirates as a leading contributor with (35%) of publications, followed by Saudi Arabia (29%) and Kuwait (26%). Oman, Bahrain, and Qatar exhibit comparatively fewer publications, suggesting potential areas for increased research focus. Conference papers dominate the scholarly output, comprising 92% of the publications, underscoring their role in disseminating research findings effectively. The top six world-leading research centers in digital transformation in oil and gas were analyzed and found to represent approximately 26% of global publications in the research field. This review contributes to the global discourse on technological adoption, innovation, and sustainable development by synthesizing the existing literature. It emphasizes the imperative of sustained research investment and strategic initiatives to strengthen scientific output in the GCC’s digital transformation of the oil and gas sector. By providing robust analysis and insights into regional contributions, this study informs policymakers, industry leaders, and researchers aiming to advance digital initiatives across the GCC.
