RE: Let's explore the most relevant aspects of robotics and artificial intelligence in the oil industry
Hi @carlos84
Oil workers should not feel repressed into thinking that artificial intelligence and robotics can perhaps displace them in today's activities.
It is possible that this happens, however, not in all cases. I do not believe that we will reach the total dependence of robotics in the oil industry, and the reason is that more and more alternative energy will be undermining that industry.
Artificial intelligence and robotics come to provide safety to the operators and efficiency in optimizing production costs and equipment safety.
It is my opinion. Of course I must recognize that everything that is done in robotics and AI is helpful.
Saludos..
Hello @lanzjoseg.
Well I tell you something that depends on the area where you start to see changes and substitutions, just like you think that in the short term artificial intelligence and robotics do not replace 100% the humans as operators, but if you are seeing certain replacements.
For example, in drilling, which was the department I worked in at PDVSA, you could already see how some drilling rigs were beginning to replace the manual hydraulic wrench for torquing the pipe with a robotic wrench that was only manipulated by the driller by means of remote controls.
I don't think robotics and AI will displace man, I think man will simply have to upgrade, because perhaps the operators will no longer have to measure the volume levels of the tanks, but will have to learn to manipulate the robots, also the computer engineers will play a major role in these changes.
However, my friend, I think that we have to give time to the changes and observe how these changes are adapted to the operational environment in the oil industry. For this reason, I recommend you to be attentive, because I will be publishing more content regarding AI in the oil industry. Greetings and thank you for your positive comments.
