Thematic Intelligence: Augmented Reality in Oil and Gas

Augmented reality (AR) is a technology that allows the user to see the real world overlaid with digital data. According to the analyst forecasts, the AR market will be worth $100 billion by 2030, up from $22 billion in 2022. AR is improving health and safety in the oil and gas sector. Working conditions for technicians in remote and hazardous locations are a prominent challenge for the oil and gas industry. AR remains an emerging technology with limited adoption, but it could limit risk factors in machine maintenance. AR could also facilitate immersive health and safety training, providing realistic, engaging, and risk-free learning experiences for technicians before they go into the field. In emergencies, AR headsets combined with AI could assist workers by guiding those with injuries to emergency exits or facilitating the administration of first aid. They can also provide live data feeds from connected devices and use them to give advanced warnings of potentially hazardous situations.

This report provides an in-depth look in the augmented reality theme in oil and gas sector, covering industry challenges, how AR helps tackles these challenges, AR investment matrix, case studies, value chain, market forecast, industry signals and more.
