inspections

This article from the SPE Robotics and Autonomous Systems Technical Section (RASTS) explores the insights shared at the recent Offshore Technology Conference (OTC) in Houston about autonomous systems and their role in the industry's future.

The deployment of a new heavy-duty robotic system aims to reduce workforce exposure to high-risk areas while improving detection of potential leaks.

This paper explores the transformative effect of unmanned aerial systems on operational efficiency, safety, and emergency response within the Khurais oil fields in Saudi Arabia. By integrating sophisticated drone technology, improvements have been achieved in routine inspections, leak detection, and emergency scenarios.

New technical papers suggest advanced robotic systems may not be far away from broad adoption for a large share of offshore inspection and intervention.

The deal includes Waygate’s inspection portfolios and is expected to close later this year.

The organization has launched Industrial Services in an effort to support growing energy and infrastructure markets.

This paper examines the integration of augmented reality headsets in remote operation support, focusing specifically on the challenges encountered, field deployment strategies, and considerations for global scalability and ongoing technology development.

In today’s era of asset management, digital twins are changing risk management, optimizing operations, and benefitting the bottom line.

This paper describes a risk-based self-verification process conducted through a bespoke software application.

With the right infrastructure and interoperability, subsea resident robotics could unlock more frequent, cost-effective inspections—and a new standard for offshore efficiency.
