Operational excellence, productivity and safety performance are top priorities for the midstream oil and gas industry. Corporate leadership is seeking increasingly different ways how to adopt industrial internet off things (IIoT) efficiently and quickly and digitalization solutions to be more agile in a competitive environment. Edge computing supports data management and analytical capabilities, which improve enterprise and industrial asset management. The unique structure of midstream operations is well suited to apply edge-computing solutions. For midstream oil and gas companies, edge-computing platforms create opportunities that resolve long-standing problems and effectively enable real-time data in asset management and decision-making For midstream operators, operational excel- lence is at the "edge." Data acquisition is characterized by remote, decentralized assets and infrastructures (pipelines and terminals), and associated equipment (pumps, compressors, valves, sensors and other devices) at numerous locations. It is a complicated network with many moving parts.
