Research Overview

This edition of the Oil and Gas (O&G) TOE features information on the use of robotic crawlers that enables cost effective inspection of oil and gas assets. The TOE also covers innovations based on the subsea and pipeline inspection crawlers that enable precise data collection, safe repair and inspection of offshore assets within short durations. The other focal point of the TOE is the use of advanced autonomous underwater vehicles for the quick and precise inspection of pipelines in subsea locations. The TOE additionally provides insights on the use of permanent magnets for the deployment of artificial lift pumps for improved oil recovery from offshore and onshore sites. The TOE also provides latest innovations in the use of progressive cavity pumps capable of operating under ultra-high temperatures for the extraction of oil in a cost effective manner, development of cloud based data management software platforms for the transformation of sensor data into actionable insights in real-time and the use of eco-friendly reagents for enhanced oil recovery during oil spill emergencies.

The Oil and Gas TOE provides intelligence on innovations pertaining to technologies, products, and processes, along with strategic insights, in the upstream and downstream processes in the oil and gas industry.
