This paper proposes a shift in the timing of risk modeling to much further back within the job life cycle, recognizing each function’s role in the mitigation of risk.

The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine recommend continued state and federal funding, data-sharing, and new technologies to mitigate the risks posed by orphan wells.

This article from the SPE Robotics and Autonomous Systems Technical Section (RASTS) explores the insights shared at the recent Offshore Technology Conference (OTC) in Houston about autonomous systems and their role in the industry's future.

The deployment of a new heavy-duty robotic system aims to reduce workforce exposure to high-risk areas while improving detection of potential leaks.

This paper explores the transformative effect of unmanned aerial systems on operational efficiency, safety, and emergency response within the Khurais oil fields in Saudi Arabia. By integrating sophisticated drone technology, improvements have been achieved in routine inspections, leak detection, and emergency scenarios.

A laboratory research study evaluates several different chemical injection concepts for the removal of elemental mercury from multiphase flow.

This study explores the use of autoencoder models with convolutional neural networks to present a framework and prototype for early and accurate kick detection during offshore oilwell drilling.

Remote sensing techniques have proven their popularity. This paper demonstrates how modern information technology helps by adding more value to tested and proven sensors and systems within offshore marine operations.

Experts and industry leaders gathered in The Woodlands, Texas, recently to sift through the challenges of carbon capture, utilization, and storage. The puzzle is coming together, but some critical pieces are still needed before the results look like the picture on the box.

The companies have released the Event Learning Taxonomy CLUE, which aims to improve the understanding of incidents beyond individual blame and toward clearer reporting and increased learning.
