Robotics Transforming Safety and Productivity in Oil & Gas Industry

Advanced robots are enhancing operational efficiency and protecting workers in hazardous environments, according to a new GlobalData report.

In a recent report by GlobalData, the adoption of robotics in the oil and gas industry is highlighted as a game-changer for improving safety and efficiency. Robots, like Aramco’s SWIM-R, are increasingly used for complex tasks such as underwater inspections, reducing risks to human workers.

The report reveals that companies like Equinor, TotalEnergies, and Shell are utilizing robotic automation to manage remote operations and perform repetitive tasks with precision. These robots are saving valuable time and resources by handling strenuous, hazardous tasks, enabling human technicians to focus on more critical issues.

Advancements in AI, IoT, and cloud computing are expanding robotic use, with robots now being employed in subsea pipeline inspections and even cleaning storage tanks. This technological evolution is expected to further drive safety improvements and operational growth in the oil and gas sector.
