This edition of the Oil and Gas (O&G) Technology Opportunity Engines features information on enhancing drilling precision using managed pressure drilling (MPD) technology. The TOE also covers the innovations in Gas-to-Liquid (GTL) technology to derive valuable hydrocarbons from natural gas. The TOE focuses on novel high-strength, corrosion-resistant steel developed for usage in the oil and gas industry. The TOE provides information on enhanced oil recovery solutions to increase extraction from mature wells. Finally, the focal point of the TOE will also cover the recent innovations in novel hybrid nanorubber and carbon nanotube enhanced cement for the oil and gas industry.



The Oil and Gas TOE provides intelligence on innovations pertaining to technologies, products, and processes, along with strategic insights, in the upstream and downstream processes in the oil and gas industry.



The Energy and Utilities cluster provides global insights and intelligence on a wide variety of disruptive emerging technologies and platforms ranging from energy storage, advanced batteries, solar and wind energy, to unconventional oil, bioenergy, geothermal energy, and energy transmission.
