HSE & Sustainability
DNV notes that energy and industrial process-related carbon emissions will have dropped by 2050 by only 44% from today’s level, not even halfway to the net-zero pledge envisioned by the Paris climate agreement.
SPE's new Asset Integrity Technical Section brings together industry experts to advance best practices in reliability engineering, asset integrity, risk reduction, and infrastructure performance. The global community will focus on the safe, reliable, and sustainable operation of energy assets across both traditional and emerging energy sectors.
This study investigates the potential for in-situ hydrogen generation from hydrocarbons using in-situ combustion, with particular emphasis on the role of kerogen content and heating mode.

As drilling operations become increasingly digital, computer vision is emerging as a continuous safety layer that complements, not replaces, established safety practices. The challenge is no longer whether artificial intelligence can detect hazards, but how operators should deploy, integrate, and govern these systems to improve safety without adding operational comple… -
New geothermal technical content and programming will highlight knowledge transfer among oil and gas and geothermal professionals.

This paper presents laboratory-testing methods and evaluation criteria designed to improve understanding of both the origin and extent of formation damage associated with CO2 injection.
-
This work presents an evaluation for carbon capture, utilization, and storage projects in the UAE for two wells in a saline water aquifer with respect to caprock integrity and water sampling.
-
This work introduces an analytical model for nonisothermal CO2 injection that accounts for both Joule-Thomson cooling and interformation heat exchange.
-
The challenge is to ensure that changes to major accident hazards are properly managed, whether the changes occur by adapting conventional industry operations to lower carbon or by introducing innovative technologies.
-
From AI-enabled walking rigs to subsea drones and autonomous inspection robots, robotics is rapidly moving from pilot projects to field deployment. The technology promises not only greater efficiency but also a fundamental shift in how the industry approaches safety and asset management.
-
This paper explores how artificial intelligence (AI), cognitive models, and integrated digital tools can transform readiness from periodic drills into a continuous, measurable capability.
-
This paper presents a competency-centered, data-driven approach implemented to strengthen control-room emergency-response capability through a cloud-hosted, scenario-based virtual plant simulator.
