Inspection/maintenance
Terra Drone will support Aramco's operations and Saudi Arabia's technological and economic progress.
A robotic arm, camera system, and virtual reality helped EniProgetti and University of Naples researchers overcome the major challenges of direct-contact nondestructive testing using a drone.
Shell’s combination of digital worker technologies enables collaborative troubleshooting and inspections while reducing travel and boosting efficiency.
-
The data have been collected and analyzed from more than 18,000 equipment units with failure and maintenance records and includes information on subsea fields with more than 2,000 years of operating experience.
-
Akers BP said it will use lessons learned from the pilot and scale the remote-assist concept across its assets.
-
To provide condition monitoring and combat fouling, the robot clings and moves along the hull walls. It is controlled via a 4G connection to clean and inspect the walls in line with individual vessel schedules developed through a proprietary algorithm and big data.
-
The maritime technology company successfully completed a remote deadweight audit for a semisubmersible oil and gas drilling rig. Believed to be the first of its kind, the remote survey was developed in response to travel and social-distancing restrictions imposed during the COVID-19 pandemic.
-
Using 3D and artificial intelligence technologies, a digital map of all three bridge-linked jackets was captured, enabling Neptune to detect asset-integrity issues early and plan fabric maintenance work on Cygnus.
-
The fully remote inspection was conducted with an ROV to increase worker safety and security and reduce environmental exposure on an offshore platform.
-
Often it is too difficult to create the fault conditions necessary for training a predictive maintenance algorithm on the actual machine. A digital twin generates simulated failure data, which can then be used to design a fault-detection algorithm.
-
With their gee-whiz—albeit artificial—intelligence, robots may be the industry’s answer to jobs deemed dangerous, dirty, distant, or dull.
-
The inspection projects to assess water ingress will be done via remotely operated vehicle.

iHawk, Cyberhawk’s cloud-based asset visualization software, will become Shell’s next-generation visualization software platform for all onshore, offshore, and subsea assets, as well as all global construction projects.
