Offshore oil and gas workers who regularly practice mindfulness may experience less fatigue and emotional and psychological strain, according to a study led by researchers at the University of Houston.

This paper presents an optimization project that was implemented in the Khazzan and Ghazeer fields of Oman to optimize the post-fracturing cleanup and testing period to reduce hydrocarbon flaring and CO2 emissions as well as the testing cost without compromising the overall well cleanup and testing objectives.

The high-pressure reinforced thermoplastic composite internal pipe is embedded with fiber optics for monitoring and detection of leaks.

As technology advances in the oil and gas sector, so does cybersecurity risk. To stay secure, companies should blend cybersecurity into their safety conversations, said expert Nicholas Andersen at the 2022 Offshore Technology Conference.

A pilot application using computer vision technology has been created to count and measure the pipe entering the wellbore and detect personnel movement in the red zone during pipe-delivery operations.

Companies want to build pipelines to capture and store carbon, but a new report warns that regulators aren’t prepared.

An incident at Petroleum Development Oman (PDO) resulted in an investigation that revealed that, even though required risk-reduction levels were achieved in design, the rest of the safety instrumentation life cycle phases were not rigorously adhered to. This paper presents various actions taken by PDO to make sure that what is designed is operated and maintained as in…

A new web-based dashboard for advancing safety in oil and gas operations on the Outer Continental Shelf is now available to industry and the public as part of the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement’s SafeOCS Reporting System.

How is it possible that, in the 30 years since the international oil and gas industry declared a commitment to eradicate the unthinkable, catastrophic events continued to occur—especially in light of so much evidence being on hand asserting overall HSE performance improvements? This paper addresses this clear conundrum and submits that there are essentially three prin…
