HSE & Sustainability
This paper proposes a shift in the timing of risk modeling to much further back within the job lifecycle, recognizing each function’s role in the mitigation of risk.
This article from the SPE Methane Technical Section features Arvind Ravikumar of the University of Texas at Austin and focuses on how the Energy Emissions Modeling and Data Lab is integrating satellite observations, facility-level measurements, operational data, and emissions inventories into more credible methane accounting for oil and gas systems.
The firm’s latest analysis puts the bulk of the blame on a fragmented supply chain.

The two companies will work to retrofit nonproducing wells for geothermal production and scale GreenFire Energy’s closed-loop advanced geothermal systems. -
How is it possible that, in the 30 years since the international oil and gas industry declared a commitment to eradicate the unthinkable, catastrophic events continued to occur—especially in light of so much evidence being on hand asserting overall HSE performance improvements? This paper addresses this clear conundrum and submits that there are essentially three prin…
