Best Oil & Gas Software: Top 10 Solutions 2026

Written by Niamh Lordan, Head Of Marketing | 8/26/24 11:36 AM

In 2026, energy, oil, and gas companies have a prime opportunity to reinvent themselves, becoming more efficient and environmentally friendly. The industry is increasingly embracing process automation to cut operational and maintenance costs while minimizing unplanned outages and downtime.

With priorities such as reducing debt, addressing skill shortages, and transforming business models, now is the ideal moment to explore how processes can be reimagined. By leveraging self-service automation software platforms, businesses can achieve widespread automation and empower their teams to digitalize at scale.

What should the oil and gas industry look for in automation software?

Oil and gas companies want software that is a good fit for their disconnected and distributed sites, many have global processes with variances for different sites etc., so the software they need must be agile and built for remote locations with offline capability for example.

These companies want to gather, showcase, and apply data visualization to enable better decision-making, so they should look for process tools that validate the data through the data collection, resulting in accurate and validated data collection.

One oil and gas company summed up these needs recently by saying:

"My sector is labor-intensive – we are always delivering a tailored service. Key aspects for us to take advantage of digitalization are how we gather the data, whether it is correct, and the visibility of the data to make better decisions. We want to standardize processes without losing business agility."

They are also looking for automation software that can become strategic to their organization and use widely to drive operational efficiency across key areas such as health & safety, quality control, process control compliance, HR, procurement, and everything in between. They are looking for a tool to help them achieve a connected enterprise.

In this blog, I concisely share the details of ten oil and gas automation platforms, what their main features are, and pricing information where available. I hope this will act as a useful guide to you in your evaluation of process platforms
