Simulators & Training Technology

Simulation technology provides a setting for exploring operating decisions and reviewing responses to changing conditions. This specialist area brings together VR Simulators and High-Fidelity Simulators as complementary approaches to representing work environments. Virtual reality topics connect spatial representation and interaction with the interpretation of simulated tasks. High-fidelity simulation places greater emphasis on the detail of the represented equipment, processes, and operational responses. Scenario design and the review of participant decisions connect both approaches with training needs in oil and gas operations. Together, these subjects link the choice of simulation technology with the work situations and learning objectives it is intended to represent.
