REMOTE HELPER A
uma’s new explosion-proof RSTX 100 remote control offers safe and convenient operation of the company’s
actuators, according to Auma. Rugged yet ergonomic in design, the
remote control will help on-site staff dealing with these actuators. The RSTX 100 is easy and intuitive to use, thanks to its large, high-resolution colour display with clear menu navigation and self-explanatory texts. A 20-metre Bluetooth range ensures
that on-site staff can operate their actuators from a safe distance. In addition, the remote control operates well when actuators are mounted in positions that are hard to reach, for example in pits or at a height. Designed for use in potentially
explosive atmospheres, the RSTX 100 remote control is ATEX and IECEx certified as intrinsically safe (ex ia), thereby offering utmost safety in areas where flammable liquids or gases may be present, according to the company. The RSTX 100 provides all
functionalities required to operate,
configure and commission AUMA actuators. Functions include opening and closing the valve, setting valve end positions, configuring operating parameters, updating the actuator firmware, and exporting actuator log data to CORALINK, the AUMA digital ecosystem, for analysis and diagnostics. The RSTX 100 is compatible with
A remote control that helps oil and gas engineers to manage actuators
Auma’s explosion-proof RSTX 100 helps workers operate on-site actuators
the products in the current AUMA actuator series: TIGRON, PROFOX-X, and SAEx and SQEx actuators with ACExC actuator controls.

OPTIMISM THROUGH CHANGE Oil and gas workers expect sector growth as a result of transformation
I
ndependent risk management company DNV recently released a survey called The Paradox of Petroleum in which 64% of oil and
gas industry leaders said they thought the pace of the energy transition was accelerating, while 68% were optimistic about sector growth despite lingering sluggishness from the 2020 downturn. Survey respondents also said that digital technologies and low-carbon innovations were driving the sector’s transformation. However, concerns remain among executives over investment in new oil and gas capacity,

highlighting difficulties with balancing demand and decarbonisation. The confidence expressed by DNV
survey respondents underscores the sector’s resilience as it tries to meet immediate demands with long-term environmental responsibilities. The survey also shows the
confidence of oil and gas workers following the 2020 downturn and helps demonstrate that the sector is serious about the transition to alternative energy sources such as wind, solar, hydrogen, carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS), and biofuels. These investments are paving the way for new
revenue streams, despite challenges like higher interest rates and supply chain disruptions. The survey gathered insights
from nearly 450 senior oil and gas professionals to examine rapidly evolving trends and the near-term outlook for the sector.
