A memorandum of understanding between the companies targets technical services for safety and performance across Egypt’s onshore and offshore assets.
No injuries were reported, and work has been suspended on the North Sea rig while the BOP is recovered.
This article from the SPE Sustainable Development Technical Section (SDTS) explores how the next phase of methane performance will be defined less by pledges and more by measurement, response, and verifiable results.

The reality is that threats continue to outrun the sector’s security evolution, primarily because organizations are increasingly connecting operational technology, such as supervisory control and data acquisition systems and industrial control systems, to their information technology networks. -
Members of the workforce, especially those in industries that require manual labor, are becoming increasingly concerned about injury and fatality while on the job.

Just as Nigeria gets to grips with militants who brought the nation’s oil industry to its knees a few years ago, another group of longstanding foes are slowly making a comeback: thieves.
-
Oilfield flares are a bright indicator of rapidly rising oil production that exceeds pipeline capacity. And it raises the question: Why are oil companies in such a hurry?
-
Emissions of methane from the industrial sector have been vastly underestimated, researchers from Cornell University and the Environmental Defense Fund have found.
-
The new well control rule is evidence that memories of the Macondo blowout remain a powerful force for caution. Despite the rhetoric on both sides of this hot-button issue suggesting big changes, the final changes were incremental.
-
This paper outlines how satellite technology can enhance oil-spill detection and, therefore, consequence management, drawing on a comparative study of options.
-
The criticality of above-water riser hull piping requires frequent inspections. Traditional manual inspection methods present safety and efficiency concerns, but work is being done to see if robotic technologies—such as drones and crawlers—can do the job as good as, or even better than, humans.
-
As drones become a more significant part of energy projects, the guide outlines the steps operators should take in assessing their capabilities to run a drone program and the elements such programs should consider, including safety and regulatory concerns.
-
A lack of access to electricity has ripple effects across many aspects of people’s lives, health, and safety.
