Unmanned aircraft are finding their place in the oil and gas industry by providing aerial geologic modeling to address reservoir-related challenges and making inspections safer.
-
Many segments of the oil and gas production industry need improvements in water filtration over traditional methods.

ExxonMobil has traditionally used industry standards driven by the US Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) to classify safety events on the basis of the treatment or restrictions provided. However, this treatment-based approach has limitations.
-
A metric based on a corrective-action-classification system initially appeared to be a valuable leading indicator for management purposes.
