“…The global demand for oil continues to increase and the oil production rate declines due to the lack of new oil fields and a decline in production from existing oil wells. This have resulted in considerable research on EOR approaches (gas, chemical and thermal) to improve the productivity of reservoirs [209], [210]. However, lack of a specific recommendation for reservoirs has limited EOR applications [211].…”

The market volatility in the oil and gas (O&G) sector, the dwindling demand for oil due to the impact of COVID-19, and the push for alternative greener energy are driving the need for innovation and digitization in the O&G industry. This has attracted research interest from academia and the industry in the application of industry 4.0 (I4.0) technologies in the O&G sector. The application of some of these I4.0 technologies has been presented in the literature, but the domain still lacks a comprehensive survey of the application of I4.0 in the O&G upstream sector. This paper investigates the state-of-the-art efforts directed toward I4.0 technologies in the O&G upstream sector. To achieve this, first, an overview of the I4.0 is discussed followed by a systematic literature review from an integrative perspective for publications between 2012-2021 with 223 analyzed documents. The benefits and challenges of the adoption of I4.0 have been identified. Moreover, the paper adds value by proposing a framework for the implementation of I4.0 in the O&G upstream sector. Finally, future directions and research opportunities such as framework, edge computing, quantum computing, communication technologies, standardization, and innovative areas related to the implementation of I4.0 in the upstream sector are presented. The findings from this review show that I4.0 technologies are currently being explored and deployed for various aspects of the upstream sector. However, some of the I4.0 technologies like additive manufacturing and virtual reality are least explored.INDEX TERMS Artificial intelligence (AI), cyber-physical systems, digital-twin, framework, oil and gas (O&G), industry revolution 4.0 (IR 4.0), industry 4.0 (I4.0), internet of things (IoT), simulation, upstream sector

In this new era of nano-materials, most chemists and physicists are familiar with the phenomenon of localized surface plasmon resonance (SPR). Noble-metal nano-particles with dimensions (3–100 nm) much smaller than the wavelength of incident light (400–900 nm) exhibit this tendency. In nanostructured materials, due to their very small particle size, the electrons are restricted within the nanoparticle surface area and oscillate with a certain frequency. It is noteworthy that the phenomenon of localized surface plasmon resonance appears when the frequency of the incoming photons overlaps with the frequency of the electrons. As this oscillation of surface electrons is taking place against the restoring forces of the positive nuclei, there is a formation of plasmon resonance. This characteristic property of scattering and absorption of photons appearing in the SPR of every nano-structured material, make them excellent nanoprobes for a variety of applications such as cell imaging and detection of protein phosphorylation and many others. The performance of bio-chemical sensing devices has been greatly improved by the development of localized surface plasmon resonance (SPR) based sensors. In the present minireview, we have briefly discussed the classification of biosensors and the basics of their instrumentation. Some of these applications have been discussed here using some nano-engineered biosensors.
