A robotic arm, camera system, and virtual reality helped EniProgetti and the University of Naples researchers overcome the major challenges of direct-contact nondestructive testing using a drone.

Shell’s combination of digital worker technologies enables collaborative troubleshooting and inspections while reducing travel and boosting efficiency.

The new look at the plan involves considerations for national security.

The year, marked by a fatal accident in February, finished with a decrease in accidents and spills.

From optimizing drilling performance to enhancing worker safety, computer vision can change how the industry works.

The update is designed to improve the accuracy and completeness of reported data, reduce the time needed to complete the form, and support deeper understanding of equipment failures.

This paper discusses and demonstrates the limitations of quantitative risk assessments (QRA) with respect to the usefulness of the concept in managing day-to-day and emerging risks as well as the effect of change. The paper goes on to discuss improved solution sets compared with pure reliance on QRA.

“Riskwashing” refers to a situation where an organization engages in superficial or insincere actions to create the appearance of addressing a particular risk or issue without actually taking substantive action to address the underlying problem. This paper presents methods to identify and minimize riskwashing as an organizational response to incidents.

The oil and gas industry must balance global energy demands with stricter environmental regulations, particularly in drilling, where risks and complexities are higher. Innovative technologies, like those used in this stuck-pipe scenario offshore Azerbaijan, are key to overcoming these challenges and improving safety, speed, and efficiency.

This paper presents a method of geomechanical-risk screening and gives examples of its positive effect on the company’s safety standards through implementation of integrated solutions to prevent or mitigate the risks.
