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.

While personal protective equipment has not traditionally had the technological capabilities to help prevent worker injury due to human error, the latest safety innovations, such as gas detection wearables, can help provide visibility and data-driven insights. -
The authors of this paper describe a continuous monitoring system based on the Internet of Things (IoT) to use methane-concentration sensors permanently installed at facilities and connected to a cloud-based interpretation platform.

To explore motor vehicle safety, the agency is conducting interviews with workers as well as focus groups with managers and supervisors.
-
The agreement seeks to accelerate the deployment of new technology to produce green and low-carbon hydrogen and graphene.
-
The consortium will leverage the oil and gas industry's 100+ years of experience and technological developments in drilling and subsurface engineering to advance geothermal.
-
Controversial metals-rich nodules sitting on the seafloor could hold the key to increased battery production needed to support the energy transition.
-
The upstream oil and gas industry continues to drive innovation in its quest to solve the monumental challenge of supplying energy to the world in an affordable, secure, and sustainable way.
-
High energy prices and a greater focus on energy security will not slow the world’s long-term ambition for a low‑carbon future. However, annual analysis by DNV believes unprecedented pressure is reinforcing a two‑speed energy transition.
-
With the methane emissions tax contained in the Inflation Reduction Act looming, confusion reigns over just how to calculate emissions and concerns grow the tax will hit smaller and mid-size companies hardest.
-
The Center for Western Priorities’ annual Western Oil and Gas Spills Tracker report shows that Colorado’s oil and gas industry is trending in the wrong direction on drilling-related spills.
