The Importance of Technology Merging In The Oil and Gas Sector
In the oil and gas sector, conventional mode of operation approved traditional technologies such as fixed-wing aircraft and a human workforce to monitor operations. Nonetheless, this does not allow precise monitoring because manual inspections are prone to errors from different sources during processes. Moreover, it is progressively difficult to inspect hazardous and cluttered areas. This has brought about a need to embrace disruptive technologies in the oil and gas industry. Effective utilization of a large amount of information available in the oil and gas industry which has not been processed over time and can potentially yield productive insights. Technology merging in the oil and gas sector has witnessed the adoption of several technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), Big Data analytics, advanced sensor technologies, robotic process automation, autonomous robots, and drones. These can enable effective inspection of oil rig sites, corrosion and leak...
