Safety in Oil Production: Best Practices and New Technologies
Safety in the oil industry is a priority and each new generation of technology aims to minimise risks to workers and the environment. One key innovation is the introduction of real-time monitoring systems that use sensors to track drilling parameters, well pressure and temperature. These systems allow us to react quickly to changes and prevent emergencies, which significantly improves safety at the sites.
Process automation also plays an important role in ensuring safety. Using robots and drone technology to perform the most dangerous operations can reduce the risk to human life. For example, robots can perform technical inspections of equipment on the platform, while drones can monitor remote areas to prevent leaks or other emergencies without putting people in danger.
In addition, companies are actively adopting smart wells, which are equipped with inbuilt sensors to monitor the condition of equipment and the production process. These devices are able to independently regulate operating parameters, automatically closing valves when there is a threat of an emergency, making oil production safer and more efficient.
