Given this background, the industry is seeing an increased focus on technologies that imply higher levels of automation and autonomous operation. At the same time, environmental and safety issues are becoming more important.
It is timely to bring together control theorists and practitioners working with issues related to offshore production of oil and gas, for an open exchange of ideas and to construct a picture of what is the status of today, and in which direction the application of control within offshore oil and gas production should be heading.
Background and Scope
An increasing amount of the known remaining oil and gas reserves are located in offshore reservoirs. As the more easily accessible reservoirs are being drained, there is a shift towards exploitation of reservoirs that are harder to access (increasing sea-depths, remote locations, arctic), reservoirs with tighter economical margins, and reservoirs that are harder to drill.Given this background, the industry is seeing an increased focus on technologies that imply higher levels of automation and autonomous operation.
