May 17, 2020: Leaving a little wriggle room for the tech giant Huawei after the United States completely stopped the sale of chips to the technology giant. Billion dollars are at risk after Washington’s rule. The United States mentioned that any foreign country manufacturing semiconductors and chips for the tech giant need to get licensed and, it is also not sure if the U.S will approve the same.
The tech giants used to produce semiconductors, smartphones, and other products. The major production is from a company called TSMC. Which uses United States equipment to manufacture the chips and, after the rule which is been rolled out the company is most affected.
The Tech giant Huawei has a series of processors called Kirin which is used in almost every smartphone in which the company manufacturers and 98% of the chip is been manufactured by the Taiwan company TSMC.
As there are only very few options for the China Tech Giant to over some of the current situation and has asked China’s top chip manufacturer SMIC to do the needful. In the recent news stated that the company has already started manufacturing Kirin 710A chip and this will solve only a part of the problem as these chips are used for the low-end phones and only for some of the models.
The company uses 7nm production for the Kirin 990 chip production and, TSMC is one of the best and advanced production units. SMIC was not ready for the recent move of production and not sure if they can go ahead with the 7nm production. Huawei has to look into its largest competitor Samsung which is relying on the South Korean company is again an ally of the United States.
It would be difficult for the company as they have to look for a non-U.S tech-based supplier however, each company would use one or the other equipment produced by the United States.

AspenTech, a Massachusetts-based company, plays a pivotal role in the oil and gas industry by leveraging cutting-edge technologies, including AI (artificial intelligence). Let’s delve into how AspenTech contributes to this dynamic sector
It’s no secret that oil and gas is a boom-and-bust industry. Production is currently up, projected to increase to 13.7 million barrels daily in 2024. But this won’t last forever. Whether production is up or down, the key to maximizing production, optimizing efficiency, and taking advantage of increased profits is innovation, digital transformation,and automation.For stakeholders looking to deliver safer, more efficient, and cheaper energy, innovation and automation must be a top priority. Those who fall behind in the race to innovate, ultimately, run the risk of losing market share.
Talking to Thomas Hundertmark, a senior partner in McKinsey’s Houston office, Darren Woods is chairman and CEO of ExxonMobil made some crucial points and also gave some insights on what the conglomerate was doing in order to save the climate.
Today oil and gas producers face severe regulatory and public relations obstacles due to the concern with greenhouse gases and resource depletion. Calgary-based start-up, Advanced Upstream (“AU”), has been disrupting the oil and gas industry with simple and reliable innovative technologies. AU’s products help the oil and gas producers to enhance energy production while reducing the corresponding environmental impact. By decreasing personnel and time on site, and lowering overall HSE risks across the board, the clients can see a notable improvement in their ESG rating, contributing to their bottom line.
Jasmin Staiblin, Chief Executive Officer of ABB Switzerland, says, “Global energy consumption continues to grow and, if left unabated, will lead to an ever-greater risk of irreversibly changing our climate. To take advantage of more sustainable energy sources, the energy landscape is in a state of profound change to allow the integration of increasing amounts of renewable energy sources into the grid, to allow infrastructure to run more intelligently and efficiently, and to ensure the supply of energy is available at all times.
