Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Robotic Technologies for Offshore Oil and Gas - Oil and Gas TOE" report to their offering.

The Oil and Gas TechVision Opportunity Engine (TOE) provides intelligence on innovations pertaining to technologies, products, and processes, along with strategic insights, in the upstream and downstream processes in the oil and gas industry.

The intensifying need of petroleum-based energy sources has kept the oil and gas industry busy in recent decades to explore all types of possible conventional and nonconventional sources including hostile offshore/subsea sources, which are very hard to reach and operate.

Exploration and production (E&P) of oil and gas from such difficult offshore fields holds several serious challenges to health, safety, and environment (HSE). Also, producing oil and gas from remote offshore environment involves huge logistic and other operating expenses. Therefore sophisticated technological innovations are highly recommended to overcome the challenges involved in E&P of offshore oil and gas. Successful implementation of robotics and automation technology can drive safe and cost-effective production of oil in the challenging offshore environment.

The Materials and Coatings cluster tracks research & innovation trends and developments across specialty chemicals, plastics, polymers, chemicals, bio-chemicals, metals, coatings, thinfilms, surface treatments, composites, alloys, oil and gas, fuel additives, fibers and several other related technologies and its impact and application across industries.

Key Topics Covered:

  1. Unmanned FLNG Concepts for Economically Viable Offshore Projects
  2. Residential Remotely Operated Vehicle (RROV) to Offer Cost Benefits to Operators
  3. Deflection Monitoring System (DMS) for Improved Subsea Integrity Management
  4. Drill Floor Robot to Automate All Pipe and Tool Operations on the Drill Floor
  5. Highly Versatile ROVs for Inspection, Maintenance, and Repair (IMR)
  6. Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) to Automate Offshore Rig Survey
  7. HELPER Drone to Assist in Offshore Rig Safety and Environmental Protection
  8. Unmanned Wellhead Platform (UWHP) for Extended Use in Offshore Production
