New technology improves safety and expedites emergency response

A unified system based on locational awareness enables improvements in offshore personnel safety

Technology advances are changing offshore oil and gas operations—simplifying communication, automating processes, decreasing downtime and increasing profitability. In a sector characterised by volatility, leveraging new technologies has been a way to maximise productivity and optimise operations. It also has become foundational to making inherently dangerous activities safer for offshore personnel. Many of the technologies adopted by the offshore oil and gas sector limit risk by decreasing the personnel required. But until it is possible for unmanned assets to perform the same functions that can be carried out by an experienced crew, people will continue to be essential to offshore E&P e
