Oil and gas operations are evolving rapidly through the use of automation and robotics to meet increasingly stringent safety, environmental, and performance goals. The deployment of robotic systems and automation tools has transitioned from optional innovation to operational necessity in many high-risk, remote, or resource-intensive settings. The CARSS-O&G® certification validates a professional’s capability to design, implement, and manage robotic and automated systems that support continuous monitoring, intervention, and optimization—while reducing human exposure to hazardous conditions.
