Abstract

Projective technologies such as artificial intelligence technologies, Internet of Industrial Things, digital twin, machine vision, virtual reality and augmented reality are emerging technologies in the fourth industrial revolution that are rapidly becoming operational and have tremendous effects in large production industries such as oil and gas.
Now days, digital transformation cannot be ignored. The approved programs should be implemented quickly according to the upstream documents and road map. It is stated that the manpower of the country is acceptable in terms of education, but it is necessary to consolidate the dispersion of the type of skills of the trained people.
Creating a culture of digital transformation is something that should be accelerated and excessive attention to negative side effects should not hinder the growth of digital transformation. Digital transformation is interdisciplinary and therefore not only requires hardware, software and infrastructure experts, it also requires the desired skills and experts of the industries.
