HSE & Sustainability
The AI revolution isn't just digital. This article examines how geology underpins the convergence of AI, energy, carbon management, and the infrastructure powering frontier LLMs.
Winners of Alberta's Drilling Technology Challenge cover a range of technologies from robotics to enhance drilling rig safety to AI-enabled energy management, downhole sensing, well navigation, hybrid power systems, and geothermal energy.
Located along the North Sea, the Humber is expected to play a central role in the UK’s effort to achieve a net-zero emissions status by 2050.

The construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline sparked a broad, clamorous online debate on social media platforms. But was there a communications gap between the opponents and proponents of the pipeline on Twitter? -
The change at the top of the Environmental Protection Agency won’t mean a dramatic shift in policy. If anything, President Donald Trump’s EPA could become even more effective at undoing Obama-era environmental policies under its new boss.

SPE is presenting a workshop to further understanding of HSE in drilling operations and sharpen knowledge of industry best practices.
-
A new survey of international experts has seen a swing of opinion away from mandatory removal of obsolete offshore infrastructure, reflecting an acknowledgment that offshore structures often develop into artificial reefs and form a part of the ecosystem around them.

The Environmental Defense Fund revealed a new “find and fix” virtual-reality experience, the Methane CH4llenge simulation, which takes users into a digitally simulated wellsite to show the ease and efficiency of controlling key sources of methane emissions.
-
The world is facing the twin challenge of growing power supply and reducing emissions to meet climate change targets. Energy companies see gas doing double duty: It has half the carbon emissions of coal when used in power generation, is abundant, and is relatively inexpensive.
-
Methane monitoring using improved methods is detecting more gas in the atmosphere, increasing the need for better ways to eliminate releases.

With the intended outcome of providing and improving a safe and healthy workplace for workers and persons under an organisation’s control, ISO 45001 provides a structured framework for managing the prevention of work-related injury and ill health.

In 2018, trust across institutions among members of the US general population declined by nine points—the steepest drop ever measured in the United States by the Edelman Trust Barometer. But the drop was even more dramatic for the American natural gas industry.

Although improvements to drilling rigs have allowed drilling to depths greater than 20,000 ft, experience has shown that, the deeper the well, the higher the bottomhole pressure and more hydrogen sulfide gases the lease workers will experience.
