Digital transformation project reaches first milestone

London, 10 September 2020 – An IOGP initiative to enable cost-effective digitalization has reached a key milestone with the publication of its first list of supported information standards.

Whereas a technical standard specifies technical guidance and rules, an information standard specifies how information should be categorized, classified, or specified.

“By aligning the large number of information standards being used today and then driving adoption across the industry, we can reduce cost significantly.” says Ken Dunn, bp, who leads the IOGP Digitalization & Information Standards Subcommittee (DISC), established to drive adoption of digitalization based on  information standards in the oil and gas industry.

Ken continues: “Currently, digitalization and digital transformation is impeded by a lack of harmonization between standards (many have overlaps). It requires a dynamic process with revisions and updates before the final map of information standards is completed. Our focus is on industry-wide, non-competitive collaboration and standardization. This first list of supported information standards is the start. It will enable more cost-effective digitalization across the industry. We’re looking forward to further progress next year.”

The 27 supported information standards are:

  • ISO 19128 Geographic information – Web map server interface

About IOGP

The International Association of Oil & Gas Producers (IOGP) is the voice of the global upstream industry. Oil and gas continue to provide a significant proportion of the world’s energy to meet growing demands for heat, light and transport.

Our Members produce 40% of the world’s oil and gas. They operate in all producing regions: The Americas, Africa, Europe, the Middle East, the Caspian, Asia and Australia.

We serve industry regulators as a global partner for improving safety, environmental and social performance. We also act as a uniquely upstream forum in which our members identify and share knowledge and good practices to achieve improvements in health, safety, the environment, security and social responsibility.
