The oil industry was one of the world's leading industries in the industrial age and has maintained its unique position in the age of knowledge. Due to its size, the oil and gas industry is one of the first initiators of knowledge management in the world. The experiences of companies such as BP, Shell, Schlumberger, and Exxon Mobil are among the first examples of knowledge management.
The world's largest oil and gas companies, both in the field of production and in large-scale projects, have been able to generate a serious return on investment in their organizations through knowledge management platforms usage. These companies have documented, developed, and improved their business processes through knowledge management software and have relied on knowledge asset management to compete with world-class companies that have always faced problems such as hunting for their talents in this Red ocean.
