How The Oil & Gas Sector Uses Animations & Motion Graphics

The oil and gas sector is a highly technical, scientific industry and benefits significantly from using animation. Showing a process and formation in a visual format, which is otherwise unable to be seen and easily understood, goes a long way for marketing, training, tool design, and more. This article will share some of the essential topics that benefit from animation services in the oil and gas sector. 

Let’s start with the beginning stage of exploration. 

Exploration Animations

Oil & gas animations can explain the formation of rocks, reservoirs, and land structures. This visual enables drilling companies, tool manufacturers, and scientists to determine the best tools, optimize the drilling process, and explain how the system works to employees. Examples of animations of this type include land cut-out animations, downhole drilling animations, offshore land rig animations, 3D seismic videos, and more.

Refinery Animations

The refinery topic in oil and gas covers various products and operations. These animations explain how refining crude oil occurs and changes into different products. In addition, it can explain the three significant refining operations – separation, conversion, and treating. Refinery animations include mechanical engineering for oil and gas along all the complex oil and gas industrial chain phases – exploration, production, transportation, refining, and end product distribution. LNG animations also better explain the production chain of Liquified Natural Gas (LNG).

We’ll end with the most extensive topic of all the animations – drilling animations.

Drilling Animations

The use of animation for drilling is widespread. With an otherwise impossible process to visualize, using a 3D animation is essential. It allows companies to see how a tool drills, how it travels through the rock formations, how fluid flows or stops in the drilling process, how drill bits rotate through different sub terrains, and more.

Drilling animations are easy to start initially – how is drilling done? It allows the examination of drilling mud, core capabilities, and drilled geological formations.

Oil & Gas drilling animations explore the complex world of highly integrated drilling processes from rig architecture, offshore drilling platforms, the drilling technology, and the difference between drilling on land or offshore. Horizontal drilling animations help demonstrate how it allows for oil and gas production in a tight formation and thin layers.

Other processes with frequent animations are cementing and casing animations, hydraulic fracturing animations, alternative fuels, fracking animations, and general 3D drilling animations explaining drilling fluids and drilling mud.

In conclusion, the oil and gas industry is one of the most crucial sectors of the economy. As a result, companies in this industry are continually looking for new ways to enhance their businesses and increase efficiency. With the variety of processes that can benefit from animation, oil and gas companies can count on 3D motion graphics to get the desired results.

Motion graphics – animation, virtual reality, and animated videos – are the new reality in the digital world. Regardless of the industry, this ensures better internal productivity and improved marketing.

As technology advances, so do the strategies used for marketing. Unfortunately, it almost seems to be evolving faster than we can keep up. This article will share ways to optimize your marketing in the industrial sector using Virtual Reality & Augmented Reality for effective marketing to the metaverse.   Forbes (1) recently wrote an article discussing the best ways to market in the metaverse. However, the quote below stood out as an impressive piece to discuss for companies looking to utilize the future of marketing – 3D experiences.   “An estimated 85 million people used augmented reality or virtual reality in 2021. Usage has been growing steadily and has more than doubled since 2017, as technology advances have made VR and AR more enticing. If marketing in the metaverse isn’t already part of your content strategy for 2022, it needs to be. Understanding how to market in it is critical to engaging younger consumers.” – Mary Ann O’Brien, OBI Creative   The Metaverse

NASA Unveils 2nd VR Competition for Mars Research

According to a recent news article, “ NASA has partnered with  Epic Games  and  Buendea  to launch a new competition to create virtual reality scenarios that replicate extravehicular activities on the surface of Mars. “ This isn’t the first Mars VR challenge hosted by NASA. The first  first MarsXR competition  launched in May 2022 to help NASA prepare and plan for a trip to Mars while conducting activities. The article continues, “The NASA MarsXR 2 Challenge  is hosted on the HeroX crowdsourcing platform to support the development of a VR testbed environment simulating Mars’ gravity, weather conditions, terrain, and day and night hues, HeroX said Thursday. Participants will use Epic Games’ Unreal Engine 5 to create scenarios for the new Mars XR Operations Support System environment, including assets for human expeditions, such as suits and rovers. Scenarios developed from the competition will be used to test procedures and expose researchers to an immersive and realistic sp
