RFID Solutions for the Upstream Oil and Gas Supply Chain

The Oil & Gas RFID Consortium has released this paper on the potential applications of radio frequency identification (RFID) solutions in the upstream oil and gas supply chain.

The document elaborates on the specific areas of the supply chain where RFID can be deployed and the factors for the lack of RFID adoption in the oil and gas sector. The RFID impact and challenges faced in execution in two phases, drilling equipment manufacturing and transportation, and down-hole rig operations are also examined along with the various problems experienced during adoption and implementation of safety requirements.
