Application of Knowledge Management in Oil and Gas Projects: A Systematic Literature Review

Knowledge management (KM) plays a pivotal role in enhancing the collaborative performance of the typical oil project owners and stakeholders with the complex landscape of oil and gas projects. The purpose of this systematic literature review is to provide an overview of the existing literatures on the application of KM practices by systematically synthesising and analysing related literature to identify key themes, challenges and best practices of project owners and stakeholders in the utilisation of KM. The latest application of KM in project management in the oil and gas industry is summarised in this paper providing insights that enable researchers and industrial practitioners to utilise KM in their future research and project.
