IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Consulting and Digital Services Providers for the Upstream Oil and Gas Industry 2024 Vendor Assessment

Gaurav Verma, Gaia Gallotti — Tue, 14 May 2024 04:00:00 GMT

This IDC MarketScape evaluates leading consulting and digital services providers by qualitatively and quantitatively assessing their capabilities and strategies regarding their offerings for upstream O&G businesses. From a worldwide perspective, it aims to support O&G organizations in choosing partners in their upstream business transformational journeys. It provides context for O&G companies evaluating vendors in this area, examines vendors' comparative success in the marketplace, and looks at how vendor offerings are evolving. The evaluation is based on a comprehensive and rigorous framework that assesses vendors relative to the criteria and highlights the most influential factors for success in this market, both in the short and long term.

"The shift toward sustainability in upstream investments and the increasing demand for optimized G&G studies and E&P field processes will have a significant impact on service providers as upstream operators push their boundaries. Service providers may experience heightened demand for innovative solutions that address sustainability concerns, optimize efficiency, and enable digital transformation in the upstream O&G sector," said Gaurav Verma, global oil and gas industry research director and advisory lead, IDC Energy Insights. "Service providers that can offer intelligent innovative solutions tailored to these evolving needs stand to benefit from increased business opportunities and market growth. Conversely, those unable to adapt to these changing dynamics in the sector may face challenges in maintaining competitiveness and relevance in the industry."

Powering the Integration of Quantum and HPC with NVIDIA's CUDA-Q

Heather West, PhD — Mon, 13 May 2024 04:00:00 GMT

NVIDIA announced that the quantum processing units (QPUs) being integrated into supercomputers located at the Jülich Supercomputing Centre in Germany, the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST) in Japan, and the Poznan Supercomputing and Networking Center (PSNC) in Poland will be powered by the company's open source, hardware-agnostic, and high-performance platform, CUDA-Q. According to the company, these integrations mark the introduction of quantum-accelerated supercomputers that will be used to accelerate scientific discovery and advance quantum computing development. Yet it is unknown whether CUDA-Q will be capable of scaling at the same pace as quantum systems and, thus, whether this is a long- or short-term solution.
