VR training for oil refining — permit-to-work and confined space.
Drona VR for oil refining replicates the procedures that govern your highest-risk work — permit-to-work workflows, confined space entry, process safety decisions, isolation procedures. Engineered to run offline at the unit, where Wi-Fi does not reach.
Process units have no Wi-Fi at the unit. Most VR training fails there.
Refineries are intentionally network-segregated. Conventional VR training that needs cloud connections fails inside the unit. Drona VR was engineered for exactly this environment — offline, on the headset, no network calls during training.
Permit-to-work failures are execution failures, not policy failures.
Most refineries have impeccable permit policies. The gap is execution under pressure. Reflex is built through repeated rehearsal of the permit workflow.
Confined space incidents are slow and predictable.
Atmosphere check, attendant, rescue plan — every confined space incident traces back to one or more skipped steps. Drona makes skipping a step impossible.
Process safety is a culture problem, not a documentation problem.
Operators who genuinely understand the consequences of process deviations make different decisions. VR rehearsal shifts mental models in ways classroom cannot.
Hot work in process areas concentrates risk.
Welding, cutting, grinding near hydrocarbons triggers most refinery fires. Pre-job hazard analysis is the gating step that operators routinely shortcut.
Aligned with the standards your auditors check.
Every Drona VR oil refining module maps to the regulatory frameworks that govern your plant. Documentation is automatic, audit-ready, exportable.

7 modules, engineered for oil refining plants.
Every module is ≤15 minutes, runs offline on the headset, and is engineered for eye health. Trainer cast view streams live to your EHS lead's screen.
Numbers from refining deployments.
Representative outcomes from Drona VR deployments in oil refining. Specific numbers vary by plant and module.
The conversations we hear in every Refining EHS office.
Our refinery has no Wi-Fi at the unit. Every digital training tool we tried failed there. Drona just works — offline, on the headset, no cloud calls.
IT was the biggest blocker on every VR pilot we evaluated. Drona is the first one our InfoSec team signed off without redlines.
Confined space refresher used to take operators offline for half a day. Now it is a 15-minute headset session at the start of shift.
OISD audits in 2024 started asking about competency evidence. The Drona reports are exactly what they want.
Train oil refining for the work where mistakes are audit findings.
