Abstract

This paper reviews the possibility to implement Virtual Reality (VR) training platform for maintenance in oil and gas industry. All major oil and gas companies in recent years have advocated design and develop Virtual Maintenance training system for the greater benefit of the humanity and the environment focusing on sustainable development. Oil and gas industry often requires people to work in hazardous environments, these environments are constantly increasing in size and complexity as companies look for new more cost effective ways of doing training and maintenance. Therefore the application of Virtual Reality may allow the new workers to practice and become familiar with the real work using Virtual Environment before performing the real tasks.
