Meeting face-to-face in the heart of Europe’s digital economy, heads of oil and gas companies, refineries, EPCs, pipeline operators, drilling contractors, and service and equipment providers joined the Oil and Gas Automation and Digitalization Congress (AUTOMA) 2024 in Düsseldorf, Germany, on 14-16 October. This year, AUTOMA emphasized the importance of digitalization in driving the industry to the green future.
AUTOMA is a B2B networking event organized by BGS Group and dedicated to the digital transformation of the oil and gas industry within all sectors—upstream, midstream, and downstream. In 2024, AUTOMA trilled to welcome Shell Energy & Chemicals Park Rheinland as the host sponsor of the Congress.

During the two days of the business programme, over 60 speakers discussed the key challenges and approaches for digitalizing the energy sector, including Shell, SOCAR Turkiye Energy, McDermott, Aramco Overseas Company B.V., OMV Downstream, Italgas, ADNOC Distribution, PETROBRAS—PPetroleo Brasileiro S.A., and others.
The main topics of the agenda covered: solutions for CO2 transportation, predictive maintenance tools, future fuels of refineries, digitalization for energy transition and energy efficiency, digital twin for asset management, implementing digital technologies in value chain operations, and many others.
Under the topic “Accelerating innovation for a carbon-neutral future,” the first day began with the executive opening panel. Starting from the welcoming speech from Yuliya Glazyrina, Project Director of AUTOMA 2024, the panel featured presentations from Shell Energy & Chemicals Park Rheinland, Ericsson, Hexxcell, DESFA, and Italgas.
Alongside speaker presentations, 50+ exhibitors showcased their technological advancements and services at the focus exhibition.
