Abstract

This review critically synthesizes recent sustainable and high-performance materials advancements applied to onshore and offshore petroleum platforms. The novelty of this work lies in its comprehensive examination of how material innovations intersect with evolving operational demands, ranging from seismic imaging and drilling efficiency to environmental monitoring and energy integration. Special attention is given to deploying high-resolution imaging systems and advanced sensor materials that enhance subsurface visualization while minimizing ecological impact. The use of corrosion-resistant alloys, smart coatings, and composite components has been shown to extend the service life of production equipment and improve reliability under extreme conditions. Furthermore, the integration of renewable energy sources-such as solar and wind systems-into offshore platforms marks a significant step toward low-carbon operations. Material-driven solutions, including UAV-based sensing systems and nanomaterials in drilling fluids, are also discussed for their role in predictive maintenance and environmental protection. Emerging areas, such as carbon capture materials and wellbore-strengthening compounds, are evaluated for their potential to reinforce sustainable oil production. Overall, this review underscores the pivotal role of materials science in advancing safer, cleaner, and more efficient petroleum infrastructure, while highlighting pathways for interdisciplinary research and industrial application.
