The oil and gas industry is no stranger to remote operations. From offshore rigs to far-flung pipeline installations, companies are used to working across continents — but training a global workforce safely and effectively has always been a challenge. 🌍⚠️
Now, thanks to interactive virtual tours, oil and gas companies can onboard, train, and upskill their teams remotely — all without setting foot on-site. 🚀🧠
In this blog post, we’ll explore how you can use 360° virtual tour technology to train your workforce faster, safer, and more consistently — and link you to related oil and gas safety training resources you can apply today.
An interactive virtual tour is a 360° digital walkthrough of a real-world job site (rig, refinery, terminal, etc.) that allows users to:
Tours can be accessed via web browser, mobile phone, tablet, or even VR headset — making it the perfect tool for remote workforce training.
