Abstract
This article reviews the concepts of unmanned offshore oil and gas assets used by key international vertically integrated oil companies, explores key technologies to reduce labor costs on typical land-based oil and gas assets. An analysis of the processes and operations of oil production on the onshore field, including its segmentation according to the criterion of labor costs. A joint approach to the description and organization of unmanned operations in oil and gas production on a onshore asset has been formed, examples of potential technological and digital solutions that can be used to reduce the number of service personnel in the field, in terms of performance readiness for implementation.
