The oil and gas industry is becoming more technologically advanced every day. As automation, artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics improve, it may be increasingly tempting to employ automatic means to accomplish industry goals. The degree to which a task is automated is referred to as levels of automation (LOA). The most comprehensive list was developed by Thomas B. Sheridan and W. L. Verplank[1]. Levels of automation range from complete human control to complete computer control.

Automation level 1

Human does the task and turns it over to the computer to implement. 

Level 1 Automation

Automation level 2

Automation level 3

Automation level 4

Automation level 5

Automation level 6

Automation level 7

Automation level 8

Automation level 9

Automation level 10
