Abstract

Discussion: What are the Opportunities & Obstacles for More  Engineering Simulation in Oil & Gas?

Engineering simulation is being used more extensively now in oil and gas, but the industry still lags behind the traditional simulation industry leaders of aerospace and automotive. In this discussion, the panelists (consisting of the event presenters and event sponsors) will offer their expert opinions and insights into where simulation has had the greatest impact so far and what are the key obstacles (technical, cultural) to more widespread effective use of simulation in oil and gas.
