DUBLIN, Nov. 26, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Research and
Markets
(http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/63j7zj/global_inspection)
has announced the addition of the "Global Inspection Robots Market
in the Oil and Gas Industry Market 2015-2019" report to their
offering.
The global inspection robots market in the oil and gas industry
to grow at a CAGR of 20.46% over the period 2014-2019
The report covers the current scenario and the growth prospects
of the global inspection robots market in the oil and gas industry
for the period of 2015-2019. To calculate the market size, the
report considers revenue generated through the sales of various
inspection robots in the oil and gas industry. The report includes
a discussion of the key vendors operating in this market.
Inspection robots play an important part in the oil and gas
industry by taking the invaluable role of inspection, monitoring,
and surveillance of complex structures in oil and gas, and,
thereby, averting any disasters that may occur otherwise. The use
of these robots help in reducing human intervention, increase
operational efficiency, reduces cost and improves safety.
Companies are diverting substantial funds to innovate and
improve the quality and technology of sensors and achieve a better
competitive market edge. For example, in collaboration with the oil
and gas giant Shell, Carnegie Mellon
University developed the Sensabot especially to withstand
severe weather and extremes of temperatures with numerous sensors
to inspect oil and gas equipment and over ground pipelines.
According to the report, the increase in offshore drilling
activity is one of the major drivers in the global inspection
robots market in the oil and gas industry. There is increased
interest in extracting oil and gas from offshore to ensure supply
to meet the increasing worldwide demand especially due to the
continued depletion of onshore resources. Offshore oil and gas
explorations represent an untapped yet expensive and inaccessible
supply of valuable resources.
Further, the report states that the ROV has some disadvantages
like limited depth range due to the limitation of the length of the
umbilical cable. It may not be feasible to operate in shallow
waters as the equipment needs a hard boat to operate. The equipment
may also not be able to function well in areas with strong water
currents and water turbulence. ROVs can themselves interfere with
the water sediments.
The market is divided into the following segments based on
product types:
- Remotely operated vehicles
- Autonomous underwater vehicles
- Unmanned aerial vehicles
- Unmanned ground vehicles
Key vendors
- Alstom Inspection Robots
- Honeybee Robotics
- Inuctun Services
Other prominent vendors
- FMC Technologies
- Hydrovision
- IKM Subsea
- International Submarine Engineering
