DSDE: Emerging Technology

Underwater robots that can predict waves in real time could reduce the cost of producing offshore renewable energy, a study suggests.

This paper presents the operator’s learnings in evaluating the routine of a floating production, storage, and offloading asset crew to identify scenarios for the application of robotics in day-to-day offshore activities.

There is no shortage of quantum technology applications in the upstream industry, from supply chain to well placement, making now the time to take it seriously.

Analytics company GlobalData has released a report, “Robotics in Oil and Gas,” that aims to provide an overview of robotics technology and its applications in the oil and gas industry, highlighting the role of major oil and gas companies in the development and adoption of robotics to enhance safety and productivity.

This paper aims to emphasize the importance of decision-making based on quantitative monitoring outputs, from both a business perspective and an ecosystem-service perspective, in future offshore projects.

This paper delves into the evolving landscape of drilling automation, emphasizing the imperative for these systems to go beyond novelty and deliver quantifiable financial value.

Wearable technology aims to take advantage of hands-free functionality to allow workers to perform their duties while maintaining communication remotely with the control room.

Accuracy, complexity, costs, and skills availability may make it difficult to get the most out of digital twins and even potentially misrepresent or miss actual changes in the status of systems or facilities.

The traditional method of inspecting tanks puts workers in danger. Using robots instead can keep workers out of harm’s way.

This paper presents an automated underwater robot and a nondestructive testing eddy-current probe for alternating-current field measurement analysis of jacket main welds.
