The widespread introduction of new technologies in all spheres of production in the
modern world is acquiring a global scale and transforming all established processes. This
next industrial revolution in the history of humanity, called Industry 4.0, completely change
the vision and processes of modern production and makes it more efficient, high quality
and profitable. Many companies are already actively introducing technologies of the fourth
industrial revolution, while others are just starting this path of technological progress. To
determine the current status of the implementation of Industry 4.0 in various production
areas, special models for assessing the maturity of Industry 4.0 have been developed. There
are several options for assessing the maturity of Industry 4.0 in companies. However, all of
them aim to assess enterprises in any industry area, but not aimed at assessing a specific
industry.
The oil and gas industry is one of the largest and most profitable extractive
industries. To introduce Industry 4.0 technologies into this industry, it is necessary to assess
the current state of oil and gas enterprises and analyze their readiness to introduce
technologies of this level. Among the existing models for assessing maturity, there is a lack
of a maturity model that would be specifically aimed at assessing enterprises in the oil and
gas industry, which complicates the process of objectively assessing the readiness of an
enterprise for Industry 4.0.
To fill the existing gap and be able to assess the enterprises of the oil and gas sector
for the implementation of Industry 4.0, we propose a model for assessing the readiness of
enterprises for Industry 4.0, adapted specifically for the oil and gas industry. This model
aims to assess the maturity of companies in the field of upstream oil and gas and is
presented in the form of a survey, providing an opportunity for companies to obtain one of
5 possible levels of maturity.
The proposed maturity assessment model is based on existing maturity assessment
models and a study of the available literature in the oil and gas industry. To test the model
in practice and determine its relevance and applicability, we have assessed companies using
the newly developed maturity model in Kazakhstan and Norway, for which the oil and gas
industry is crucial.
To analyze the results of the companies, the following methods were used: 1) use of the best-worst weighting method to determine the significance of specific measurements
when calculating the maturity level; 2) making recommendations for companies to increase
the maturity level of Industry 4.0 in each company; 3) creating a roadmap for the company
in the form of a GAP framework.
Our proposed model will help companies determine the current maturity level of
Industry 4.0, based on the results of the maturity model, identify bottlenecks for further
development, as well as receive several recommendations aimed at filling these bottlenecks
and increasing the maturity level of Industry 4.0 in the company as a whole.
