Through realistic simulations, virtual reality allows for an unprecedented level of immersion and interactivity that traditional training methods cannot offer.

Researchers with the National Energy Technology Laboratory showed that naturally occurring signals in underground fluids can serve as effective indicators of flow patterns between existing wellbores. Understanding these patterns can lead to increased efficiency and safety.

This paper explores the integration of human factors engineering principles into rig move planning to enhance safety in the oil and gas industry. It discusses the significance of considering human factors such as fatigue, stress, communication, and decision-making in rig move operations.

Short on skilled welders? For complex jobs like pressure-vessel seams, automation could be the key to keeping production safe, accurate, and on schedule.

This paper presents a smart safety monitoring system to prevent accidents in environments with moving machinery at use on various global rigs.

Work by researchers at the University of Saskatchewan aims to advance the understanding of clathrate hydrates, crystal cages of ice that can trap gas and liquids.

Members of the International Association of Oil and Gas Producers reported 32 fatalities and a 26% jump in hours worked in 2024, which lowered the rate by 0.03 per million hours worked.

Technical safety standards are essential as global offshore exploration heats up.

The journey to safety excellence is not paved with quick fixes but with deliberate, data-informed strategies.

In an internal video, CEO Mike Wirth warned of "a concerning increase in serious near-misses" and told staff to double down on safety regardless of challenges.
