So far, twice World Industrial Revolution has happened in human society, one is the steam engine application in 18th century and the other is widespread use of electricity in 19th Century. Nowadays the Third Industrial Revolution is quietly opened the prelude with the low-carbon economy and the rapid development of science and technology. There is a complementary relationship between the Industrial Revolution and energy replacement, and the Industrial Revolution has an important influence on the development of oil and natural gas. New energy and internet technology are mutually reinforcing as the core of the Third Industrial Revolution. Development of the internet accelerate the application and promotion of new energy sources, and widespread use of new energy sources will affect the proportion of fossil fuels in the energy mix. As an important part of the traditional fossil fuels, oil and natural gas must seek for their own development path of the more long-term development in order to keep up with the wave of the Third Industrial Revolution. To improve the strategic position of natural gas, to search for high-quality oil and gas resources, to innovation the development technology of oil and gas, to improve the utilization efficiency of oil and gas and to balance the relationship between the new energy and traditional fossil fuels, all of these will be the only way for the development of the oil and natural gas industry.%截止到目前，人类社会已经发生过两次世界工业革命，即18世纪蒸汽机的应用和19世纪电力的广泛使用。在科学技术快速发展的今天，第三次工业革命正在悄然拉开序幕。工业革命与能源更替之间存在着相辅相成的关系，对石油和天然气的发展也有着重要影响。新能源和互联网技术作为第三次工业革命的核心，二者之间是相互促进的。互联网的发展能够加速新能源的应用与推广，新能源的广泛使用必将影响化石能源在能源结构中的占比。油气作为传统化石燃料中的重要组成部分，要想紧跟第三次工业革命的浪潮，并且得到更长远的发展，就必须寻求适合自己的发展路径。提高天然气的战略地位、加强数字化信息技术在油气勘探开发中的应用、创新油气的开发技术、提高油气利用效率以及平衡新能源与传统化石能源之间的替代关系，都将是谋求油气行业长足发展的必由之路。
