ASTANA, Kazakhstan, August 15. During a working visit to the Mangystau region of Kazakhstan, Chairman of the Management Board of KazMunayGas, Askhat Khassenov, reviewed the operation of the TUMAR intelligent system at the Zhetybay oil field, Trend reports via KazMunayGas.
The project is designed to prevent incidents and protect personnel during hazardous technological operations, such as underground and major well repairs.
“TUMAR automatically detects violations and activates visual or audible alarms in case of danger. Nearly 15,000 images were processed and over 183,000 objects across 16 classes were annotated to train the models,” the company stated.
Moreover, the system includes three intelligent services based on machine learning and computer vision: monitoring of personal protective equipment (PPE); monitoring of hazardous operations involving a hydraulic wrench; monitoring of danger zones.
In 2024, pilot-industrial trials of the project were successfully conducted with one major well repair crew at the Zhetybay oil field (owned by Mangistaumunaigas). Currently, TUMAR is undergoing a pilot rollout across 10 major and underground well repair crews at the Zhetybay and Kalamkas fields. By the end of 2025, the project is expected to be scaled up to 60 crews of Oil Services Company.
