A study was conducted in Shell (2011/12) into a Minimum Intervention Strategy for Inspection

Quasset carried out a study in robotics in O&G industry; it concluded: Huge development activities; Largely in academia, R&D institutes O&G industry and robotics community “hardly know each other”

End 2012 a FP7 call from the EU PETROBOT opened; Partners were invited (Nov’13); Proposal was submitted Jan.’13; PETROBOT started Sept ’13

How it started

14/11/2016

The PETROBOT applications: Inspect vessels while taken out of service Inspect storage tanks while in-service

Project objectives: Open up the oil- gas and petrochemical market for robotic inspection Mobilize the complete value chain – consisting of robot- and inspection technology

providers, inspection service companies and end users” Aim to deliver robots ready for field use, building on existing technology

Gains from the use of robots are in the domains of: Minimizing exposure of personnel to potentially hazardous conditions Reducing downtime Reducing costs associated with Inspection, such as:

isolating vessels; reducing cleaning costs; reducing waste/emissions; no internal scaffolding

PETROBOT’s objectives

Contracts used for PETROBOT Project were EU-contract templates Project steered by General Assembly, representing all 10 Partners, work done by an

Executive Board with all 7 workpack leaders, a Scientific Advisory Board Shell acted as “Project Coordinator”, linking the Consortium to the EU Commission

PETROBOT operated with a direct budget of 6.2 M euro (3.7 M EU-funding), and 0.8 M euro end-user funding

The Projects builds on previous work, e.g.: Telbot robot, Nyhamna, 2010 (YouTube)

Tank robot developments PRCI Report under Contract PR-409-123700

DOW – Description of Work Developed in 2 months; Guided the Project till end

Design phase – First three months Learn to know each other – Exchange Knowledge - Identify requirements – Design Drivers: realistic goals; match existing practice, not more;

ATEX Was excluded from initial scope Strongly considered after Design Phase; significant learnings obtained Conscious decision to first develop working robots

Highlights from the project - 1

14/11/2016

Plenty engineering issues to solve Snake Wrist Magnet loads on Tank robot tracks Tank Robot Umbilical: design inside-out Space & Weight ….

Field Testing – end users at play Vessels in Turn Around difficult to obtain; FAST team ended up in night shift, 24h delayed

The business cases – WP5 Ongoing effort all members

Dissemination – WP6 Members were present at seminars and exhibitions

from year 1 onwards

Highlights from the project - 2

“PETROBOT will open the oil-, gas and petrochemical markets by developing two key new robot inspection technologies and validating these in use cases”

working robots available effective operational and inspection procedures in place All PETROBOT end-users active with testing; started influencing their internal

community Deployments in anger started !

“PETROBOT mobilizes the complete value chain – consisting of robot- and inspection technology providers, inspection service companies and end users”

PETROBOT partners represent the value chain; they proved this cooperation is a strong recipe for success

Continuation found in SPRINT – active communities, spreading in Europe, US and Singapore area

Active support to EU Robotics Inspection & Maintenance Robotics Community

Project Objectives – did we meet them

14/11/2016

The next phase consists of: Maturing Technology, Commercializing Services, Growing robot capability; This phase started already !

Field Deployments took already place – this shows interest in the robots FAST was used for vessel inspections in anger (Nov’15), and offshore (2016), Bike SNAKE was used for vessel inspections in anger (Gassco Sept ‘16) FAST Cleaning robot being tested by Shell for offsshore “skidpan” cleaning

(coating/corrosion removal) Tank robot is invited for extensive field test and maturation in Pernis Refinery; several

requests for deployment received.

Mature it together; share experiences

Preparing for the next phase, post-PETROBOT
