The A.I. Factor

August 1, 2021 by PBOG

Science fiction abounds with stories of robot or computer takeovers, from 2001 A Space Odyssey’s HAL 9000 to Dr. Who’s Cyber Men—along with the flip side, the original Star Trek’s “Spock’s Brain” episode where the bad guys hooked Spock’s brain up to the system that controlled their civilization’s air conditioning and other processes. Whether any […]

Cyber’s New Era

July 12, 2021 by PBOG

Friday, May 7, 2021, may have been the wakeup call for any corporation thinking it was immune to cyberattacks of any sort, including ransomware. Alarms certainly went off in Alpharetta, Ga., then, at the home of Colonial Pipeline, the U.S.’s largest pipeline system for refined petroleum products. After a few days and a $4.4-$5 million […]

Pigging Comes of Age

June 21, 2021 by PBOG

The lowly and usually invisible pipeline pig is not just an oilfield tool.

Crash Opens Doors for Industry to Adopt Efficiencies in Productivity Software

December 14, 2020 by PBOG

Some geologists use a word, catastrophism, to describe what they see as sudden upheavals found in the geologic record. Mass extinctions, worldwide volcanic activity and things like that are included. Catastrophism could certainly describe recent workplace changes, resulting in a ramping up of reliance on technology including hardware, software and connectivity. Rob Roberts, director in […]

The AI Factor

December 1, 2020 by PBOG

AI as a concept is way past its sweet sixteen, but only in recent years has it become confident enough to learn to drive. Sooner than later it will be fully licensed and out on the streets. It’s the same in the Oil Patch, say experts. Companies are relying on AI for more and more […]

October 19, 2020 by PBOG

drones

As a cash-strapped oil patch wrestles with the competing issues of staffing and funding, more and more companies turn to various forms of automation/artificial intelligence and robotics in order to do more work with fewer people.

Data Security: Staying a Step Ahead

July 13, 2020 by PBOG

Any conversation with a corporate IT or cybersecurity person very quickly includes the phrase “It’s not if, but when and how bad” when the topic is the likelihood of being hacked. Employing good security measures in hardware, software, and the most important factor—people—does provide great protection. But, like Luke Skywalker slipping a bomb into a […]
