fatigue

This paper explores the development of fiber-reinforced thermoplastic sucker rods as a promising alternative for overcoming the limitations of steel sucker rods and thermoset fiberglass sucker rods.

The project would evaluate oil and gas extraction workers’ sleep, fatigue, and other related factors, as well as their relationship to industry-associated risks.

Using wearable devices, an interactive dashboard being developed by Texas A&M researchers will measure workers' readiness and engagement.

A study by a real-time monitoring company showed that many coiled-tubing strings are retired with a lot of life left in them. It suggested companies could lower costs by using pipe for a longer time and could benefit from multicompany studies showing how their decisions compare to the competition.

Companies in the petroleum industry, from exploration and production, to transportation, refining, and distribution, operate around the clock. This paper intends to raise awareness on the impact of fatigue in the petroleum industry and recommend a framework for fatigue risk management.

A 3-year study that demonstrated how to capture a worker’s safety performance and translate the data into personal fatigue levels is the first step in creating a framework that can identify research-supported interventions that protect workers from injuries caused by being tired on the job.

The aim of this study was to examine whether changes in work shifts and shift intensity are related to changes in difficulties falling asleep, fatigue, and sleep length.

The Step Change in Safety Human Factors Workgroup strives to improve basic knowledge and understanding of human factors to ensure related risks are managed and controlled properly. The objective of this paper is to highlight the ability to do this proactively through engagement with the workforce.

This paper describes the integrated approach taken by Petronas to reinforce effective management of fatigue.

The installation of flowlines in ever-deeper and -more-remote areas requires specific technologies for precommissioning. Coiled tubing can be a solution, but long durations may affect tubing stress and fatigue.
