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.

A revised biological opinion determined that the endangered species could go extinct without new precautionary measures.
-
New Mexico is the second-largest oil producer in the US behind Texas. Drawing immense wealth from the Permian Basin, the state relies on a workforce—often Latino men—who are subjected to harrowing conditions that lead to death, injury, disease, and terrible tolls on mental health and family life.
-
The two companies said they will evaluate the possibility of a joint venture to develop a direct air capture hub in South Texas, with XRG considering investing up to $500 million.
