Technological Advancement in the Oil and Gas Industry

Technology has proved its credibility by helping us to combat some of the most important challenges in decades. On a high interest, our yesterday's concerns are now our jubilations today. Also, various innovations that technology is offering our industry today have shown us clearly that the industry cannot afford to shuttle its today's cares until tomorrow. It is even more interesting that today creative minds in the industry are already gazing into the future, seeing about tackling our tomorrow's challenges right now. All these findings validate the simple fact that: 'the oil and Gas industry is a technology based and innovation driven' (David, 2011).
The phase change and its adaptation are so rapid that if professionals fail to yield to it or feel reluctant to its tingle, they may find it hard to catch up with the transiting train. The thrust of the drive witnessed by the industry in the recent decade is intense. This is wholly responsible to the world's high demand for our commodity (Oil and Gas), our daily venture into the ultra-deepwater exploration, unconventional resource exploration systems which always beckon on new and strong techniques. All of these are enough to charge professionals to be aware of the demands of their fields by yielding their thoughts to the present breakthrough and preparing to face the next decade's challenges.
One important breakthrough that technology has offered the seismic data acquisition field of recent is the 'Nodal Seismic System'. The success is currently attracting a great deal of key players from every end of the industry and has kept discussions on over time. The advancement is also known as Cableless, Wireless or Nodal seismic acquisition system, as it may be. It is an improvement over the conventional cabled seismic acquisition system. An overview of this advancement in relation to the challenges it solves has been looked into in his article.
