How 3D Visualization helps the Energy industry?

3D solutions have found their calling in diverse industries. From construction to industrial and architecture to entertainment; 3D animation is bringing to reality what was once considered impossible. Showing the future is what 3D can do.While the technology has innumerable applications and potential; the oil and gas industry has derived immense benefits from it. 3D has become an indispensable concept in the utility industry. 3D modeling and animation has versatile implications in every industry and oil and gas is no exception to its applicability. 3D visualization plays a critical role in exploration and production.


 

In the energy market; 3D visualization process enables

1.Sharing of complex data and processes
2.Encourages elaborate, perceptive and related understanding
3.Allows teams and users to incline themselves to the new environment
4.Allows users to interact with data
5.Promotes team association
6.Develops virtual environments for testing processes and procedures



3D modeling and animation in the energy industry has alleviated risks to physical labor. Deploying people resources on field in dangerous and remote locations is both costly and puts them at major risks. However, with advancements in the fields of simulation, visualization and interactive technology; several tasks in exploration and production can be completed in a more safe, efficient and realistic manner. The use of 3D solutions has enabled offshore operators to be completely cognizant of potential mishaps and negative consequences like a spill or shutdown. They are well aware of the factors that cause such problems and hence visibly steer clear of those reasons. The entire project is therefore less likely to encounter emergency situations and injuries.


3D technology can also be used in new and proposed plants and industrial operations. Advanced 3D modeling and animation technology can be used to create accurate virtual reality environment. Future surroundings, equipments and processes can be ascertained much ahead. The technology can also be extended to other sources of energy besides oil and gas. And this is all the more imperative in a day and age when the world is looking for newer sources of energy from more and more remote locations. Such sources and locations can pose innumerable risks since they have never been explored. While some on-field operations are inevitable; 3D solutions and the process of visualization can help to gain familiarity with the environment and potential risk areas. Thus, complex and challenging environments and tasks can also be handled appropriately.
