Petronas to ensure full automation of Resak platform by 2023

BAKU, Azerbaijan, Jan.4

By Leman Zeynalova – Trend:

Malaysian Petronas company has set a goal to achieve full automation, unmanned operation and remote control of its Resak platform by 2023, Trend reports with reference to the company’s 2021-2023 operation outlook.

The Resak platform located at offshore Kertih, Terengganu will be the first platform in Malaysia to be remotely controlled from land. Currently operated as a manned platform, it is being converted into a remotely controlled facility thanks to the swift technological advancements in automation, robotics and AI. The platform will be undergoing transition from full board offshore manning to lean manning and eventually total unmanned operation.

To ensure seamless transition and integration with the relevant technologies, the manpower required to operate both offshore and onshore sites are going for technical upskilling. Upon successful implementation, it will then be replicated at other platforms, demonstrating PETRONAS’ commitment in realizing remote and autonomous operation throughout its facilities.

The table below shows the stages of Resak’s transformation:
