  • opportunities and challenges of robotics and automation in offshore oil Gas Industry
    Intelligent Control and Automation, 2014
    Co-Authors: Heping Chen, Samuel Stavinoha, Michael Walker, Biao Zhang, Thomas A Fuhlbrigge
    Abstract:

    The oil and Gas Industry will continue to boom in the coming few decades. Obtaining oil and Gas from conventional and non-conventional resources will become more and more challenging. This intensifying need will impose very considerable demands on work force, financial and technology capabilities. Since the future supplies of oil and Gas are to expand, advanced technology will become increasingly necessary to obtain access to more challenging conventional and non-conventional resources. Therefore oil and Gas technologies will be very costly to operate in the coming future due to hostile, hard-to-reach environments. The offshore oil Industry will become a complicated myriad of advanced equipment, structures, and work force. Our objectives are to identify potential applications and research directions of robotics and automation in the oil & Gas field and explore the obstacles and challenges of robotic and automation applications to this area. This study performs the necessary survey and investigation about the work conditions of robotics and automation equipment in the oil and Gas Industry, especially offshore oil rigs. The oil & Gas Industry processes are first investigated. The personals and tasks are then explored. Furthermore, this paper reviews the current robotic automation technology. The challenges and requirements are identified for robotics and automation equipment in the oil and Gas Industry. The requirements of robotics and automation in the oil & Gas Industry are presented. Future research opportunities are discussed from a technical perspective.

  • challenges of robotics and automation in offshore oil Gas Industry
    IEEE International Conference on Cyber Technology in Automation Control and Intelligent Systems, 2014
    Co-Authors: Samuel Stavinoha, Heping Chen, Michael Walker, Biao Zhang, Thomas A Fuhlbrigge
    Abstract:

    The oil and Gas Industry will keep booming in the coming few decades. Because it becomes more and more challenging to obtain oil and Gas from conventional and non-conventional resources, there will be considerable demands on the labor, financial capabilities and technology development. Since the future supplies of oil and Gas will expand, more advanced technology will become increasingly necessary to obtain conventional and non-conventional oil and Gas. The offshore oil Industry is a complicated myriad of equipment, structures, and work force. Before any real vision of the potential roles of robotics and automation in offshore oil processes can emerge, the processes related to oil and Gas must be enumerated appropriately. Therefore, this study performs the necessary survey and investigation about the work conditions of robotics and automation equipment in oil and Gas Industry, especially offshore oil rigs. The oil &Gas Industry processes are first investigated. The personals and tasks are then explored. The challenges and requirements are identified for robotics and automation applications in the oil and Gas Industry. Our objectives are to explore the opportunities and challenges of robotics and automation in the oil and Gas area.

  • blockchain technology in the oil and Gas Industry a review of applications opportunities challenges and risks
    IEEE Access, 2019
    Co-Authors: Kun Huang, Mohammadamin Azimi, Lijun Guo
    Abstract:

    Blockchain technology has been developed for more than ten years and has become a trend in various industries. As the oil and Gas Industry is gradually shifting toward intelligence and digitalization, many large oil and Gas companies were working on blockchain technology in the past two years because of it can significantly improve the management level, efficiency, and data security of the oil and Gas Industry. This paper aims to let more people in the oil and Gas Industry understand the blockchain and lead more thinking about how to apply the blockchain technology. To the best of our knowledge, this is one of the earliest papers on the review of the blockchain system in the oil and Gas Industry. This paper first presents the relevant theories and core technologies of the blockchain, and then describes how the blockchain is applied to the oil and Gas Industry from four aspects: trading, management and decision making, supervision, and cyber security. Finally, the application status, the understanding level of the blockchain in the oil and Gas Industry, opportunities, challenges, and risks and development trends are analyzed. The main conclusions are as follows: 1) at present, Europe and Asia have the fastest pace of developing the application of blockchain in the oil and Gas Industry, but there are still few oil and Gas blockchain projects in operation or testing worldwide; 2) nowadays, the understanding of blockchain in the oil and Gas Industry is not sufficiently enough, the application is still in the experimental stage, and the investment is not enough; and (3) blockchain can bring many opportunities to the oil and Gas Industry, such as reducing transaction costs and improving transparency and efficiency. However, since it is still in the early stage of the application, there are still many challenges, primarily technological, and regulatory and system transformation. The development of blockchains in the oil and Gas Industry will move toward hybrid blockchain architecture, multi-technology combination, cross-chain, hybrid consensus mechanisms, and more interdisciplinary professionals.

  • Restructuring the Hong Kong Gas Industry
    Energy Policy, 1996
    Co-Authors: Pun-lee Lam
    Abstract:

    In July 1995, the Consumer Council of Hong Kong published a report on the Gas Industry in Hong Kong. The Report attacked the non-interventionist and safety policies of the government as having helped the town Gas monopolist to earn excessive profits, to the detriment of its customers. The Report proposed a restructuring of the Gas Industry, with an aim of introducing competition into the Industry. This paper discusses the structure and performance of the energy Industry in Hong Kong, outlining the major proposals of the Consumer Council and its methodology pitfalls. Based on the experiences of Industry restructuring in the USA and UK, the author provides an alternative approach to restructuring the Gas Industry in Hong Kong.
