Abstract
The ultimate goal of collaborative operating environments was value creation. All over the world, expert systems (ES) are being employed by various industrial sectors to foster this value creation process. Subsequently, under the umbrella of integrated operations (IO), this paper examines the current role and use of expert systems for value creation in the Norwegian offshore oil and gas (O&G) industry within the field of asset maintenance. Through comprehensive literature reviews, vendor surveys, and interactions with industry experts, the paper concludes that the Norwegian O&G industry closely mimics the global O&G industry in its adoption and use of expert systems technology. This study also reveals an apparent lack of widespread adoption of ES within maintenance is a contributory factor to the proliferation of preventive maintenance strategies on the Norwegian continental shelf.
