Improving Safety and Sustainability in the Oil and Gas Sector With 3D Scanning

The oil & gas industry faces many challenges, notably a growing need to reduce emissions. Companies in the sector have set themselves ambitious targets for 2025, at a time when environmental concerns are becoming increasingly evident. To contribute to this reduction, some are turning to cutting-edge technologies such as 3D scanning.

The Colt Group is a good example: the company has invested in 3D scanning solutions to react quickly to leakage problems, improve on-site performance and safety, and meet its environmental commitments. Thanks to the Artec Leo 3D scanner, the company can speed up repair planning by up to 18 times, and scan complex pipes in less than 20 minutes, whatever the working environment. A new application that clearly demonstrates the added value of 3D scanning!

First, let’s take a step back via a recent study published by Rystad Energy. It analyzes the CO2 emissions reduction strategies of 120 companies in the oil and gas sector. Their activities emitted over 630 million tonnes of emissions in 2024.
