Smart midstream of O&G industry

The midstream operations of oil and gas mainly include transportation, storage, safety, and security. Most of this sector involves transporting and initial processing of oil and gas. Hence the midstream acts as a bridging factor for upstream and downstream. Like upstream, a detailed taxonomy of the midstream is explained at the beginning of the chapter. A computing taxonomy is provided and explored in detail to identify the various scopes of smart IoT technologies in midstream. The operations of midstream workflows are explained in a detailed and straightforward manner. Hence, various challenges of midstream and their up-to-date smart solutions offered by IoT, Edge, Fog, and Cloud computing platforms are explained with pictorial examples and use case scenarios.
