Abstract

The summary covers a series of elements characteristic of oil resource exploitation applications, such as extraction, measurement, detection, processing, etc., with a focus on electric drive systems—principles and equipment used for command and control. It also presents a brief history of the evolution of these electric drive systems, highlighting their advantages and disadvantages. An important topic in oil resource exploitation is compliance standards, which enable the safe operation of these infrastructures and ensure the efficiency and quality of processes.
