1. Refining and Marketing is executed in the Downstream stream of the oil and gas industry because
it involves the processing and distribution of petroleum products after crude oil has been extracted
and processed. This includes activities such as refining crude oil into various products like gasoline,
diesel, and jet fuel, as well as marketing and selling these products to end consumers.
2. The four elements required for oil and gas to accumulate in "economic" quantities are:
a. Source rock: The presence of organic-rich source rocks where hydrocarbons are generated and
expelled.
b. Reservoir rock: Porous and permeable rock formations that can store and transmit hydrocarbons.
d. Seal: Impermeable rock or cap rock that prevents hydrocarbons from escaping the reservoir.
3. Digitization requirements for process optimization include:
a. Data collection and sensors: Installing sensors and data collection systems to gather real-time
data from equipment and processes.
b. Data analytics and machine learning: Implementing advanced analytics and machine learning
algorithms to process and analyze the collected data for insights and optimization recommendations.
b. API gravity, sulfur content, and other quality indicators for different fractions.
7. Wired network infrastructure for oil and gas can be categorized into:
a. Field-level networks for connecting sensors and devices at well sites and refineries.
b. Enterprise-level networks for data management, control, and communication at the corporate
level.
8. The two main types of industrial wireless networks in oil and gas are:
a. Implement network segmentation and access controls to defend against cyber threats.
b. Develop an incident response plan to efficiently respond to security incidents and minimize their
impact.
10. Measures used in the risk control framework for PCNs:
a. Intrusion detection and prevention systems (IDPS) for real-time threat detection.
b. Security patches and updates, security awareness training, and regular security assessments.
11. IoT can provide real-time data on road conditions, traffic, and weather, allowing individual drivers
to make informed decisions for a safer and more predictable journey.
12. IoT intelligence in mass transit can improve scheduling, maintenance, and safety, enhancing the
overall user experience for commuters.
13. The band allocated in the 5.9 GHz region for intelligent transportation systems (ITSs) is often
referred to as the Dedicated Short-Range Communications (DSRC) band.
14. An amendment to the 802.11 standard is defined by the IEEE (Institute of Electrical and
Electronics Engineers) and typically introduces new features or improvements to wireless
communication protocols.
15. The key element for individual vehicles in Fleet Management Architecture is a telematics system
that tracks vehicle location, performance, and driver behavior.
16. The basis of IoT for roadways lies in two elements: sensors and communication networks.
Sensors collect data on traffic, weather, and road conditions, which is then transmitted through
communication networks for real-time analysis and decision-making.
