Title : The contribution of process modeling and simulation in Oil and Gas Industry
Abstract:
The oil and gas (O&G) industry has confronted with many difficulties in recent years, such as the extreme price variability in short periods, the instability of global supply and demand, and the increasing competition in the energy sector with numerous alternatives forms of energy. It is essential for the O&G industry to discover ways to conduct business for achieving high levels of productivity at low cost, while at the same time remaining profitable and competitive. To achieve the aforementioned aim, it is important to turn on in the implementation of new technological solutions, such as process modelling and simulation with the use of immersive technologies at all stages of the industry. The immersive technologies, and particularly VR, in the oil and gas industry improved the accessibility of information, enhanced personnel and team training, reduced maintenance time and contributed in operational awareness and preparedness during emergencies. In the current study, an innovative methodology was proposed for training and assessment of oil and gas professionals as well as chemical industry staff in a virtual reality high tech environment.
