中国石化新闻网讯 据全球石油新闻11月11日消息称，我们这个行业最有价值的资源不是我们开采的原油，也不是我们生产的天然气。它甚至不是我们提炼的高级化学品。现在是，将来也仍将是我们培养的劳动力。我我们需要做更多的工作来吸引年轻的人才，他们将领导我们的产业并使之现代化。 今年3月，阿布扎比国家石油公司发布了一项针对Stem(科学、技术、工程和数学)领域3000多名学生的有趣研究。这项针对来自10个国家的大学生和年轻专业人士的调查显示，44%的人有兴趣从事石油和天然气行业。这是一个令人鼓舞的数字，但与被科技行业吸引的77%的人相比，还有很大的改进空间。或许最重要的是，这项研究发现，一个行业与新技术联系得越紧密，人们就越有兴趣将其作为职业选择。 这对石油和天然气行业的影响是显而易见的:如果我们能够证明自己的技术实力，我们将吸引更多的Stem人才。这是一个挑战，因为在Adnoc的研究中，近一半的Stem年轻人才将石油和天然气视为一个历史悠久的行业。事实上，这种看法与我们业务的现实相去甚远。我们必须更好地证明，推动第四次工业革命的技术——从人工智能和物联网到大数据和区块链——正在石油和天然气领域得到应用和测试。 在西方，数据分析的早期采用者，已经将机器学习融入到钻井过程中。与Adnoc在阿布扎比沙阿油田的合作，我们彻底改变了酸性气体的开发。除了提高硫黄生产的效率，我们还把以前不经济的资源变成了阿联酋的战略资产。在日益增长、更加环保的全球经济中，为了满足对清洁天然气日益增长的需求，打磨新的生产和精炼方法将至关重要。我们应该把这些激动人心的技术突破作为我们向下一代宣传的核心。 以人为本的方法将帮助我们挖掘技术的潜力。不仅如此，它还将为我们的行业提供应对当前和未来挑战的最佳机会。考虑一下我们的环境责任:只有拥有有创造力、有技能的劳动力，我们才能为气候变化和资源短缺提供可持续的解决方案。在西方国家，我们依靠提高采收率(EOR)的行业领导者，这一过程带来了可观的环境效益。通过延长油田的使用寿命，我们的工作人员更有效地利用了现有的油气资源，减少了我们对自然景观的影响。 令人鼓舞的是，Adnoc的主要活动Adipec，它将把人们放在对话的中心。我很高兴它将再次运行其Young Adipec项目，该项目已经向数千名高中生传授了有关我们行业就业机会多样性的知识。 我们的行业是创新的摇篮。我们必须采用科技公司的思维方式，吸引热衷于解决世界上最紧迫挑战的年轻科学家和工程师。当我们在第四次工业革命中前进时，石油和天然气的未来将取决于它的劳动力。 曹海斌 摘译自 全球石油新闻 原文如下： The future of oil and gas lies in attracting young scientists and engineers Our industry’s most valuable resource is not the crude we drill for or the natural gas we produce. It is not even the advanced chemicals we refine. It is and will remain the workforce we nurture. We need to do more to attract young minds who will lead and modernise our industry. In March, the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company released a fascinating study of more than 3,000 students in the Stem (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) sector. The survey of undergraduates and young professionals from 10 countries revealed that 44 per cent were interested in pursuing a career in oil and gas. That is an encouraging number but with great room for improvement, when viewed alongside the 77 per cent who are drawn to the technology sector. Perhaps most importantly, the study found that the more an industry is associated with new technologies, the greater the interest in pursuing it as a career option. The implications for the oil and gas industry are clear: if we can prove our own technological credentials, we will attract more Stem minds. This is a challenge, as almost half of the young Stem talent in Adnoc’s study see oil and gas as an industry of the past. This perception is in fact far from the reality of our business. We must do a better job of demonstrating that the technologies driving the Fourth Industrial Revolution – from artificial intelligence and the internet of things to big data and blockchain – are being tried and tested in the oil and gas sector. At Occidental, early adopters of data analytics, we have incorporated machine learning into our drilling processes. Partnering with Adnoc in Abu Dhabi’s Shah field, we have revolutionised the development of sour gas. Besides improving the efficiency of sulphur production, we have transformed a previously uneconomical resource into a strategic asset for the UAE. Honing new production and refining methods will be crucial to meet the increased demand for cleaner natural gas in a growing, greener global economy. We should put exciting technological breakthroughs such as these at the core of our pitch to the next generation. An approach that puts people first will help us tap the potential of technology. Not just that, it will also give our industry the best chance to meet current and future challenges. Consider our environmental responsibilities: only with a creative, skilled workforce can we offer sustainable solutions to climate change and resource scarcity. At Occidental, we count on industry leaders in enhanced oil recovery (EOR), a process that brings considerable environmental benefits. By prolonging the life of oil fields, our crews make more efficient use of existing hydrocarbon resources, reducing our impact on natural landscapes. It is encouraging that Adnoc’s flagship event, Adipec, will put people at the heart of the conversation. I am glad that it will again run its Young Adipec programme, which has already taught thousands of high school students about the diversity of career opportunities in our industry. Our industry is a cradle of innovation. We must adopt the mindset of technology companies, attracting young scientists and engineers keen to tackle the world’s most pressing challenges. As we navigate the Fourth Industrial Revolution, the future of oil and gas will rest on its workforce.
