“The better we get at getting better, the faster we will get better.”                                                                                                    Douglas Engelbart Article featured in Harts E&P Magazine   Over the past 60 years, a couple of trends and specific events contributed to drastically changing the way we live and work today. The reasons why we even entertain a conversation about digital transformation takes its roots from these few trends and events.   The future is exponential In the 1980’s we had the first laptops. In the 1990’s the Internet was becoming global and gaining in popularity. In the 2000’s high speed internet is introduced and humanity is moving data at the speed of light for the first time ever (we think). Literally. In the 2010’s cloud computing, ‘Infrastructure as a Service’ (IaaS), and ‘Software as a Service’ (SaaS) were becoming a standard, and storage virtually limitless.   Memory storage has become extremely cheap and storage devices are getting increasingly smaller in size and bigger in capacity. Computing power available on an average laptop is increasingly getting bigger. And quantum computing is just around the corner.   The increasing speed at which these consecutive transformations have taken place have forced our culture to adapt. Everything is needed now, sometimes yesterday, because tomorrow is going to be too late. The foreign exchange and stock exchange markets, leaders of the world economies, are fully relying on Artificial Intelligence (AI) for trading. And this is what is driving business transformations and change in organisations. Adapting to market change, and increasingly predicting change in order to know how to proactively adapt. The future is digital The future of oil and gas producers and service companies will depend on how fast they adapt to the constantly evolving energy landscape. Recent years have demonstrated how difficult it is for non-digitalised companies to cope with the ever-changing market conditions, and how increasingly difficult it has become for the oil and gas industry to recover from each successive economic crisis.   Our industry is far behind in digitalisation. Only 5% of data generates value, 3% of equipment is connected, 1% of data supports decision making. Clearly, the industry has a long way to go in leveraging this new digital reality.   This is why it is now vital for us as an industry to embrace digitalisation as a positive disruption to traditional data processing workflows, understand the opportunity and potential behind AI and its many applications, and ensure we are transforming our industry to become smarter, leaner, and most importantly, sustainable.   Doing so will take a lot of adapting, and adopting new digitally enabled ways of working. Oil and gas companies will need to revamp their data ecosystem, data architecture and create data platforms fit for AI processing. They will equally need to develop internal talent to ensure their resilience and long term sustainable transformation. It will also require program management discipline, change management culture, both short and long term projects, and a very good understanding by the decision makers of the risks of ignoring the digital disruption. Furthermore, decision makers need to action these steps fast because the world is changing around us faster than ever.   This decade is the decade of ever more change. We are going through the COVID-19 pandemic imposed changes. The acceleration in adopting digital tools to accommodate remote ways of working is phenomenal and only illustrates the point that organisations that are digital, fit and lean will make it through the crisis and emerge even stronger. The future is exponential. The future is digital Our vision at TGT is to pioneer and lead the advancement of Predictive Diagnostics in the energy sector, positively impacting long term sustainability and ESG initiatives. TGT is developing multiple AI-enabled products that will fulfil the growing sector demand for predictive analytics and diagnostics, leading the industry to a digital future. “Societies are driven by technology, but defined by humanity.”                                                                                                                       Gert Leonhard

Artem Khasanov, TGT’s QHSE & Testing Laboratory Team Leader is an honoree in Hart Energy’s E&P 2021 “40 Under Forty” recognition program Article featured in Harts E&P Magazine   From an early age, Artem Khasanov was interested in learning how the world works, so he started studying physics and technology. Khasanov studied physics at Kazan Federal University, where he was first engaged in semiconductors research and then, in collaboration with the Kazan Institute of Chemical Technology, was engaged in research of silicone rubbers.   “I am 107% sure (this is an accurately measured value) that the main quality of a researcher and developer is the ability to be a good observer,” he said. “Many secrets of the world are revealed if you are thoughtful enough.”   In 2013 Khasanov started working with TGT as a laboratory assistant, and he became a research engineer a year later. He added, “Once I realized that there is an industry where people who are passionate about technology and research are rewarded well—the oil industry—there was no stopping me!”   In 2019 Khasanov became the head of the testing laboratory. He devoted a significant part of his work to the study and application of ‘acoustics’ in oil and gas wells, as a means to locate and characterize fluid flow. Acoustic technology is a key ingredient in TGT’s diagnostic systems—used by its customers globally to keep wells safe, clean and productive. Career goals “When I started my career, I met so many competent and talented people who strive to innovate and develop new technologies. My first task was to catch up with my peers in terms of competence and knowledge. Now I am studying international quality standards to ensure that our diagnostic systems and products continue to set and exceed industry standards.” Memorable technology projects “I have led several projects that have helped the company advance diagnostic methods and technology. For example, I designed and manufactured laboratory models for researching and developing sophisticated multisensor acoustic devices. I also developed systems to study the acoustic signature of fluids flowing through rocks and barrier leaks, as well as apparatus to study the acoustics of sand production; and automatic testing devices for our diagnostic systems. All of these projects ultimately help our customers make better-informed decisions.” Motivation from within “After a certain age, a person needs to stop looking for a mentor and become one. All the necessary information is available; you should just lend a hand. You don’t need a mentor to make history. All you need is purpose, motivation, and health. And believe it or not, your best advisor is – yourself! One of my guiding principles is, ‘If you are in doubt about what to do, just do what is right.’” Formative experience “The most important thing in any business is to control emotions and direct personal energy to an ultimate goal. Therefore, among the many educational programs I’ve undertaken, one of the most useful was all about emotional intelligence.” Sustainability & decarbonization “Whilst renewable energy sources are gradually increasing, more than 50% of the world’s energy supply still comes from hydrocarbon resources – so the extraction of oil and gas is a necessity. Our mission at TGT is to help the industry keep oil and gas wells safe, clean and productive. We are helping our customers to decarbonize and reduce harmful emissions. I’m motivated by the fact that the diagnostic systems and products that we create make it possible to use the planet’s resources more sustainably.” Industry’s future “I believe that the ultimate goal of any industry is to make our lives healthier, happier and more sustainable. Collectively, we need to find the right balance between maintaining human existence and protecting the planet and other species that live beside us. We need to keep in mind the countless scientists, engineers, analysts and other oilfield workers who dedicate their lives to advancing this vital industry. Digitalization and automation will be important enablers of our future, together with the use of predictive diagnostics to improve the safety and integrity of well systems. “One day, after a couple of hundred years, our great-grandchildren, roasting marshmallows by the fire on Mars, will remember us with gratitude.”   Artem Khasanov, TGT’s QHSE & Testing Laboratory Team Leader
