Field of the Future: Vision to Reality

Rapid changes in digital technology are revolutionizing how data are acquired and processed and how the quality and efficiency of decision making are improved. By use of digital technologies, both new and existing, BP aspires to operate its assets at the technical limit of efficiency, recovery, and cost. The company implemented a program called Field of the Future (FOTF). This program covers development and deployment of technology and business-process solutions to most aspects of oil- and gasfield operations - from reservoir to export, in both mature and new fields, onshore as well as offshore.
