Key Terms

industrial iot technical

Industrial IoT (Industrial Internet of Things) is a system of connected sensors, machines and control devices in factories, power plants and transportation networks that collect real-time data and allow remote monitoring and automated adjustments. Think of it like a smart home for heavy equipment: tiny sensors act like thermostats and motion detectors, giving operators instant feedback and control. For investors, IIoT can cut costs, boost output and predict breakdowns—changing revenue, margins and capital needs—while also introducing cyber and implementation risks.

digital twins technical

Digital twins are virtual replicas of physical objects, systems, or processes that simulate their real-world counterparts in real time. They allow users to monitor, analyze, and predict how the actual entity will behave under different conditions. For investors, digital twins can provide valuable insights into performance and potential risks, helping to make better-informed decisions.

predictive maintenance technical

Predictive maintenance involves using data and technology to monitor equipment or machinery in real time, identifying potential problems before they cause failures or breakdowns. By predicting when maintenance is needed, it helps prevent costly repairs and downtime. For investors, it highlights how companies can reduce expenses, improve efficiency, and maintain reliable operations, which can positively impact financial performance.

connected worker tools technical

Connected worker tools are digital devices and software—like smartphones, wearable sensors, tablets and guided apps—that link frontline employees to equipment, workflows and real-time data so they can work faster, safer and with fewer errors. For investors, these tools matter because they can lower operating costs, reduce downtime and safety incidents, and generate measurable productivity gains that improve a company’s cash flow and competitive position, much like a navigation app helps drivers reach destinations more efficiently.

Upcoming ISG Provider Lens^® report will evaluate providers helping oil and gas enterprises advance AI deployments, field operations and energy transitions

STAMFORD, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Information Services Group (ISG) (Nasdaq: III), a global AI-centered technology research and advisory firm, has launched a research study examining providers that help oil and gas companies modernize operations, adopt AI-enabled technologies and respond to market volatility.

The study results will be published in a comprehensive ISG Provider Lens^® report, called Oil & Gas Industry — Services and Solutions, scheduled to be released in November 2026. The report will cover companies offering services and solutions for AI, data and digital platforms, enterprise asset management, intelligent field operations, new energy services and technology transformation.

Enterprise buyers will be able to use the report’s insights to evaluate their current vendor relationships, identify potential new engagements and compare available offerings. ISG advisors will use the research to guide clients through increasingly complex transformation and platform investment decisions.

The oil and gas industry is balancing energy security needs, geopolitical uncertainty and long-term sustainability objectives while contending with commodity volatility, supply chain disruption and changing regulations. Producers, refiners and energy traders are investing in digital transformation to improve agility and operations. AI, generative AI, industrial IoT, advanced analytics, digital twins and cloud platforms are becoming more important as companies seek better asset performance, safer field operations and more timely decision-making.

“Oil and gas enterprises are under pressure to operate with greater speed, safety and resilience while preparing for a more diversified energy future,” said Iain Fisher, director at ISG. “Providers will play an important role as companies connect data, AI and operational technology to improve performance and manage complex transformation programs.”

ISG has distributed surveys to more than 100 oil and gas industry service and solution providers. Working in collaboration with ISG’s global advisors, the research team will produce four quadrants representing the services and solutions typical oil and gas enterprise is buying, based on ISG’s experience working with its clients. The four quadrants are:

AI, Data and Digital Platforms, evaluating providers that help oil and gas companies use data, AI and modern digital technologies to improve operational performance, decision-making and business outcomes.
Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) and Intelligent Field Operations, assessing providers that help clients optimize asset performance, reliability and field operations through EAM, predictive maintenance, connected worker tools, robotics, drones and operational monitoring.
New Energy Services, covering providers that support oil and gas companies in diversifying energy portfolios through carbon management, emissions reduction, hydrogen, renewable energy integration and related sustainability services.
Technology, Transformation and Consulting, evaluating providers that help oil and gas companies modernize technology landscapes, transform business processes and execute large-scale digital transformation initiatives.

The report will cover the global oil and gas market and examine products and services available in the Americas. ISG analyst Swadhin Pradhan will serve as author of the report.

A list of identified providers and vendors and further details on the study are available in this digital brochure. Companies not listed as oil and gas industry services and solutions providers can contact ISG and ask to be included in the study.

All 2026 ISG Provider Lens evaluations feature expanded customer experience (CX) data capturing real-world enterprise feedback on specific provider services and solutions, based on ISG’s continuous CX research.
