Synopsis:

Over the past 12 years, ON World has covered the impact of the Internet of Things on the oil and gas industry. In the last two years, we saw growing interest in Low Power Wide Area (LPWA) network solutions such as LoRa^®, Sigfox, LTE-M and NB-IoT and this trend continues today.

The multi-mile sensing and control capabilities provided by LPWA technologies is perfectly matched for oil and gas wellhead automation and pipeline operations as well as innovative solutions for asset tracking and logistics.

The US congress’s decision to allow oil and gas exports was a key decision that has enabled the US oil and gas industry to have a faster recovery from the 2014-2016 oil downturn.  LPWA is the latest development that impacts this industry by solving complex and labor expensive monitoring and management of remote wellheads and assets.

Our latest surveys with 200+ industrial automation and IoT professionals found that nearly half are researching or developing LPWA networking solutions and 2 in 5 are targeting oil and gas markets.

Within the next few years, there will be tens of millions of oil and gas wireless sensing, tracking and control devices in use worldwide. LPWA technologies will be the fastest growing and will enable millions of new connections that are not feasible with other technologies.

In this report, we cover the growing LPWA market opportunities for oil and gas exploration and production, pipelines/storage as well as distribution/logistics.

It includes 6-year market size forecasts (connected devices, annual unit shipments and breakdowns by market, application, technology, geography and equipment/services); the results from several surveys; technology evaluation; and analysis of the value system with 100 companies.
