Oil & Gas operators across the META region are modernizing fast to improve reliability, reduce downtime, and extend asset life. In this webinar, Rockwell Automation highlights three customer successes that demonstrate how a unified automation platform, strong execution, and OEM backed lifecycle services enable high impact transformation.

Learn how end users standardized their Process and Safety control systems on a single Rockwell Automation platform to simplify engineering and ensure long-term lifecycle sustainability. Discover why Rockwell Automation was selected through a highly stringent technical and commercial evaluation, recognized for technology robustness, regional execution strength, and full compliance with demanding specifications.

We also explore how nearly 150 PLC systems—along with filtration and cybersecurity upgrades—were replaced within an extremely tight shutdown window through precise planning and strong local support. The session further covers how operators are extending equipment life through uptime protected remanufacturing, enhancing operational resilience for heavy lift and pipelay operations, and advancing circularity with OEM backed obsolescence management supported by Rockwell’s global service network.

Join us to see how these wins set a new benchmark for modernization, resilience, and sustainable lifecycle management across META’s Oil & Gas sector.
