Artificial Intelligence, Quantum Computing, Autonomous Operation, Emotional Intelligence: Key Drivers of Industry 6.0 and Sustainabile Development Goals (SDG-8,9,12,17) for Business Sustainability in the Oil and Gas Industry

摘要

Objective: The objective of the study investigates the extent to which specified programs and machines are activated and achieve business sustainability through sustainable development goals (SDG-8,9,12,17) in Industry 6.0. This report analyses the current situation from 2013 to 2024 and assesses the influence of Industry 6.0 on the oil and gas sector within the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC). Theoretical Framework: Digital transformation progresses from Industry 5.0 to Industry 6.0 globally within the oil and gas sector, with only certain regions achieving totally autonomous operation, while the majority are endeavouring to attain such autonomy. The industrial revolution is realized through Industry 6.0, which is accomplished by implementing autonomous operations utilizing robotics, Artificial Intelligence (AI), quantum computing, machine learning (ML), the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), blockchain technology, and cloud computing within the oil and gas sector. Based on the study, proposed model proposes with autonomous operation through Industry 6.0 techniques and business sustainability. Method: Researchers have gathered numerous empirical articles, case studies and book chapters to thoroughly investigate the topic and its domains. This study employs a literature review methodology, concentrating mostly on the oil and gas service industries within GCC nations. Results and Discussion: Researchers discovered that the oil and gas service industry encounters difficulties in achieving fully automated procedures devoid of human interaction Industry 6.0 will attain corporate sustainability via total autonomy. The second scenario involves artificial intelligence, quantum computing, and emotional intelligence (EI) enabling Industry 6.0 to attain favourable results. Research Implications: The research study suggests that the implementation of Industry 6.0 in the oil and gas service sector remains mostly at a conceptual stage in most areas. Originality/Value: This study contributes to engineering services in oil and gas industry, entrepreneur’s emotional intelligence and autonomous operation during the defined period were not evaluated and it added value in the engineering service sector to mitigate their issues to have better business sustainability.
