“…This misalignment, they argue, particularly hampers the successful implementation of CBM. A corroborative stance is presented by Jasiulewicz-Kaczmarek et al . (2022), who identify the lack of interdepartmental collaboration, notably between maintenance and other units, as a significant barrier.…”

“…Unavailability of the steps that involve the synchronisation of these new digital technologies with the existing strategies causes represent a challenge that needs to be addressed for successful integration (Lu et al, 2019a;Mogos et al, 2019;Nguyen et al, 2020;Tran et al, 2020). In a study by Jasiulewicz-Kaczmarek et al (2022) on Assessing the Barriers to I4.0 Implementation From a Maintenance Management Perspective, several barriers associated with maintenance were delineated. A salient barrier underscored was the absence of structured maintenance processes and activities, which is intrinsically connected to procedural guidelines governing work execution within industrial settings.…”

Purpose This study investigates the integration of Industry 4.0 (I4.0) technologies with condition-based maintenance (CBM) in upstream oil and gas (O&G) operations, focussing on developing countries like Nigeria. The research identifies barriers to this integration and suggests solutions, intending to provide practical insights for improving operational efficiency in the O&G sector.Design/methodology/approach The study commenced with an exhaustive review of extant literature to identify existing barriers to I4.0 implementation and contextualise the study. Subsequent to this foundational step, primary data are gathered through the administration of carefully constructed questionnaires targeted at professionals specialised in maintenance within the upstream O&G sector. A semi-structured interview was also conducted to elicit more nuanced, contextual insights from these professionals. Analytically, the collected data were subjected to descriptive statistical methods for summarisation and interpretation with a measurement model to define the relationships between observed variables and latent construct. Moreover, the Relative Importance Index was utilised to systematically prioritise and rank the key barriers to I4.0 integration to CBM within the upstream O&G upstream sector.FindingsThe most ranked obstacles in integrating I4.0 technologies to the CBM strategy in the O&G industry are lack of budget and finance, limited engineering and technological resources, lack of support from executives and leaders of the organisations and lack of competence. Even though the journey of digitalisation has commenced in the O&G industry, there are limited studies in this area.Originality/valueThe study serves as both an academic cornerstone and a practical guide for the operational integration of I4.0 technologies within Nigeria's O&G upstream sector. Specifically, it provides an exhaustive analysis of the obstacles impeding effective incorporation into CBM practices. Additionally, the study contributes actionable insights for industry stakeholders to enhance overall performance and achieve key performance indices (KPIs).
