“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.

This paper presents the operator’s learnings in evaluating the routine of a floating production, storage, and offloading asset crew to identify scenarios for the application of robotics in day-to-day offshore activities.

GE Vernova and Vineyard Wind provided an update on the implementation of their plan to safely remove the remainder of the damaged blade on turbine AW-38, remove any remaining debris, complete environmental studies, implement actions for blade readiness for service, and, ultimately, resume turbine installation and operations.

Technology uptake aimed at optimizing resources, delivering consistency, and augmenting what humans can do.

A fundamental research study is conducted to confirm the potential usefulness of chelating agents in dispersing settled barite, emphasize the complex nature of the factors that control this process, and provide a solid basis for future studies aimed at optimizing dispersion methods in industrial applications.

The new areawide safety plan is a collaboration with Vår Energi and is expected to begin on 1 January.

Wearable technology aims to take advantage of hands-free functionality to allow workers to perform their duties while maintaining communication remotely with the control room.

The main objective of this paper is to provide a solution that eliminates the risks of working in confined spaces and aids in preventive maintenance.
