Abstract
Nanotechnology has the potential to have a huge effect on all industries, including the oil and gas industry. Virtual Reality (VR) also has large and comprehensive perspective in the interest of oil and gas industry. VR approach becomes essential at different phases in oil and gas industry.
This study aims to identify the causes of Thermoelectric Generator (TEG) defect in oil and gas industry. This work also develops VR training platform with nano-display devices. The training platform is to be used in the oil and gas industry for heat pipe removal and pipeline construction.
Implementation of VR training platform offers huge advantage to the industry as it does not interrupt the operation and does not require investment in the training facilities. Case study was used to determine the causes of TEG defects. Continuous exposure to heat, over production and prolonged
run are the three factors that were found to be the defect of Thermoelectric Generator (TEG) in oil and gas industry. Unity 3D, HTC™ Vive device, Autodesk Maya software and C# Programming were used to develop the VR platform. Finally, the 3D models of TEGs were designed and modelled
for heat pipe removal and pipeline installation in oil and gas industry. As we understand that nanotechnology plays an integral role in hardware and communications for virtual reality technology, one might propose nano-display which provides the best resolution and pixels smaller than a micrometer.
