INTEGRATION OF AI AND IOT FOR REAL-TIME MONITORING AND PREDICTIVE MAINTENANCE IN OFFSHORE OIL & GAS PLATFORMS

Offshore oil and gas platforms operate in high-risk, high-cost environments where equipment reliability is vital.The convergence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT) offers a transformative solution to real-time monitoring and predictive maintenance, particularly for mission-critical equipment like Electrical Submersible Pumps (ESPs). This paper explores the application of AI-IoT systems inoffshore settings, demonstrating how real-time data analytics and machine learning algorithms enhance operational efficiency, reduce unplanned downtimes, and extend the lifespan of equipment.
