New technologies in the oil and gas industry: the path to efficiency and safety
The oil and gas industry is constantly looking for new ways to improve the efficiency and safety of its operations. Advances in digital technologies, artificial intelligence and smart systems are opening up new opportunities to optimise processes and reduce risks.
Key technology areas:
Horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing (fracking): These technologies can extract oil and gas from difficult and deep fields, increasing production and efficiency.
Digital technologies: Data collection and analysis using smart sensors, artificial intelligence and machine learning can optimise work processes, predict failures and reduce accident risks.
Robotisation: The use of robots in the oil and gas industry increases worker safety, improves operational accuracy and reduces costs.
‘Green technologies: Developing and implementing carbon capture and storage (CCUS) technologies, utilising renewable energy sources and improving the efficiency of upstream and downstream processes to reduce environmental impact.
Conclusion: New technologies play a key role in the development of the oil and gas industry. Adoption of innovations can improve the efficiency, safety and sustainability of the industry, which is essential for its future development.
