Robots can be used by oil and gas companies to automate dangerous and repetitive tasks, eliminate inefficiencies, cut costs across the industry, and boost profit margins. The production phase of oil and gas operations benefits greatly from automation and robotics.
The production phase of oil and gas operations benefits greatly from automation and robotics. By delegating difficult and risky tasks to robots, you can avoid putting the lives of human workers at risk.
Unmanned underwater vehicles (UAVs) and aerial drones, for instance, can investigate potentially hazardous regions. Underwater welding and repetitive drilling tasks that would otherwise put human lives in danger can be handled by robots.
Nowadays, it is much more common than it has ever been for humans to use robots to complete potentially hazardous tasks.
During the majority of oil and gas production stages—exploration, drilling, production, operations, and even decommissioning—robots reduce the risk of injury.Drilling tasks that are risky can be completed with remote-controlled robots, eliminating the need for human labor.
For instance, robots can use sensors to look at offshore locations and make 3D maps of the environment so that humans can safely navigate these places.
Robots like these move around on four legs and use receivers and visual and warm cameras to acquire data. Thermal cameras and gas detectors are also used to evaluate the viability of such locations. Because humans can control these robots from a distance, they eliminate the dangers that come with humans inspecting the locations.
The Global Oil and Gas Robotics market accounted for $XX Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
The Autonomous Robot for Gas and Oil Sites (ARGOS) Challenge was launched by the ARGOS Company in collaboration with the French National Research Agency (ANR).
The objective was to encourage the development of novel, previously unimagined solutions for the oil and gas industry. These innovative solutions included autonomous surveillance and inspection robots that were accredited with the ATEX explosive atmospheres standard.
The autonomous robots of the future are now possible thanks to the Offshore Ground Robotics Industrial Pilot (OGRIP). Two OGRIP robots have been working at gas treatment facility in Scotland’s Shetland Islands, a first in the world.
