Augmented Reality in the Oil and Gas Industry
AR digitalizes processes in the oil & gas industry, one of the major powers of the energy sector
The oil&gas industry
The oil & gas industry, exceeding $2.1 trillion worth as of 2021 and 1.7 million employees globally, includes exploration, refining, transporting petroleum, and its derivatives.
Challenges
Occupational hazards
The industry related to highly flammable and explosive materials and complex processes is inextricably associated with constant threats to the company’s properties, human life, and health.
Business continuity
Companies operating in the ever-changing industry need to respond to its dynamics and demands in order to maintain business advantages, profitability, and increased equity position.
Operational downtimes
The industry suffers heavily each time an interruption occurs. Technical failures, lack of maintenance, and human errors halt mining and processing machinery affecting productivity.
Information flow disruptions
Lack of standardization in data gathered and shared across the industry, no tools aimed at retaining knowledge from more retiring employees result in uneven staff expertise.

Augmented Reality oil and gas industry solution
The AR platform carries two main modules, aimed at solving industrial challenges in the oil & gas field
The following features are at hand to support the execution of processes in the oil & gas industry using AR
Real-time access
AR grants users direct, immediate access to gathered resources, as the platform stores procedures, documentation, checklists, and can gather data from internal systems like SCADA, MES, ERP.
Workflow creator
No coding skills are needed to create step-by-step instructions for employees. The set-up reminds of building blocks and requires no specialized devices.
Digital twins
Virtual clones of machinery and other physical objects support predictive maintenance, helping employees glance inside the mechanisms without disassembling them and stopping operations.
Heavy-duty potential
The platform is compatible with the most advanced devices used with protective gear, allowing freedom of movement. Convenience is crucial for staff working in demanding environments.
Nsflow - Benefits of Augmented Reality in Oil and Gas Industry
Risk mitigation
Real-time expert support helps guide on-site employees through potentially dangerous situations, allowing them to overcome machine failures without compromising safety.
Improved cost-efficiency
The AR platform facilitates savings by reducing the need for employee travel and accommodation, as well as by minimizing human errors and expenditures on traditional training.
Reduced downtimes
Supporting industrial processes with AR allows a significant reduction of interruptions, due to predictive maintenance and faster recognition of errors in the production environment.
Retained knowledge
Digital assets contain standardized training resources and instructions, available to workers also after previous generations of experts retire, eliminating issues with the so-called tribal knowledge.
