ISG (Information Services Group), a global AI-centered technology research and advisory firm, has initiated a study focusing on service and solution providers in the oil and gas industry. The study, set to be released in January 2026, aims to evaluate providers that deliver AI and digital technologies to help oil and gas companies maintain a competitive edge and address global energy requirements.

The study will cover a broad spectrum of services, including AI tools and cloud services, enterprise asset management (EAM) services, new energy transition solutions, and digital transformation and consulting services. The results will be published in the ISG Provider Lens® report titled "Oil and Gas Industry — Services and Solutions."

ISG has surveyed nearly 130 service and solution providers in the oil and gas industry. The research team, working in collaboration with ISG's global advisors, will produce four quadrants representing the services and solutions enterprises in this industry are buying. These quadrants include:

1. AI and Cloud: Evaluating providers delivering AI-driven tools and cloud solutions for oil and gas enterprises.
2. Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) Services: Assessing providers offering end-to-end EAM solutions for the oil and gas industry.
3. New Energy Services: Covering providers of energy transition solutions that enable oil and gas companies to achieve their net zero and decarbonization goals.
4. Technology, Transformation and Consulting: Evaluating providers delivering digital transformation, consulting, and IT modernization services for oil and gas enterprises.

The study will provide detailed insights into the global oil and gas market, with a specific emphasis on the Americas. ISG analyst Swadhin Pradhan will serve as the author of the geographically focused report.

This comprehensive analysis will help enterprise buyers evaluate their current vendor relationships, potential new engagements, and available offerings. ISG advisors will use the information to recommend providers to the firm’s buy-side clients. The report will also feature expanded customer experience (CX) data, measuring actual enterprise experience with specific provider services and solutions.

ISG's initiative underscores the growing importance of digital innovation in the oil and gas industry. Oil and gas companies are increasingly leveraging next-generation digital tools to enable predictive maintenance, real-time monitoring, process automation, and informed decision-making. They are also committed to long-term investments in alternative energy projects to meet future market demands.

The study is part of ISG's ongoing efforts to provide enterprises with detailed data and market analysis to guide their selection of appropriate sourcing partners. ISG's proprietary market data, in-depth knowledge of provider ecosystems, and the expertise of its 1,600 professionals worldwide will be instrumental in producing this comprehensive report.
