Enabling Emergent Configurations in the Industrial Internet of Things for Oil and Gas Explorations: A Survey

Abstract

Several heterogeneous, intelligent, and distributed devices can be connected to interact with one another over the Internet in what is termed internet of things (IoT). Also, the concept of IoT can be exploited in the industrial environment for enhancing the production of goods and services and for mitigating the risk of disaster occurrences. This application of IoT for enhancing industrial production is known as industrial IoT (IIoT). Emergent configuration (EC) is a technology that can be adopted to enhance the operation and collaboration of IoT connected devices in order to improve the efficiency of the connected IoT systems for maximum user satisfaction. To meet user goals, the connected devices are required to cooperate with one another in an adaptive, interoperable, and homogeneous manner. In this paper, a survey of the concept of IoT is presented in addition to a review of IIoT systems. The application of ubiquitous computing-aided software define networking (SDN)-based EC architecture is propounded for enhancing the throughput of oil and gas production in the maritime ecosystems by managing the exploration process especially in emergency situations that involve anthropogenic oil and gas spillages.

Comparative analysis of Internet of Things (IOT) implementation: A case study of Ghana and the USA - vision, architectural elements, and future directions

“…IoT enables machines to communicate with each other and with people, utilizing connections like Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and radio frequency identification. The IoT plays a crucial role in building intelligent societies, improving the efficiency of industrial processes, and strengthening security systems (Ijiga et al, 2020). This interconnectedness fosters a smarter and more efficient society, where IoT applications play a pivotal role in enhancing the quality of life and operational efficiency.…”

“…In our paper, we adopted XBee instead of Bluetooth, WiFi, WiMAX, and mobile communication because XBee has features that make it compatible with oil refineries. XBee provides easy-to-implement solutions [59], low power consumption and cost [33], and transfers data for long distances compared to Bluetooth [60]. Table 3 compares ZigBee to other communication technologies regarding power consumption and cost.…”

Wireless Electromagnetic Radiation Assessment Based on the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR): A Review Case Study

“…Wireless Internet connectivity through a telecommunication network becomes an essential communication tool for machines [1], people [2], vehicles [3], infrastructures [4,5], and a wide range of devices that make up the Internet of Things (IoTs) [6,7]. This connectivity is realised using electromagnetic fields (EMFs) in the radiofrequency (RF) range and it shows exponential growth due to being implemented in new technologies, such as wireless wearable consumer electronics, personal health monitoring systems, mobile handsets, smart meters, and household appliances.…”
