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.

This paper’s proposal is based on the need to communicate commands, requests, affirmations, and more with precision and accuracy. Creating an architecture for rig communications is essential for the next generation of engineers and operators to work more safely and more efficiently. -
A recent report released from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine shows improvement in measurement and management of systemic risk in Gulf of Mexico oil and gas operations but adds that progress lags in some areas.
-
A study from the International Association of Oil and Gas Producers shows the value of eye-tracking in well control operations.
-
The coupled geomechanical and dynamic flow simulation work flow described in this paper relies on a multidisciplinary approach to meet future peak gas demands and support clean-energy initiatives.
-
The technology and knowledge base of the E&P sector is poised to play a major role in the newer, lower-carbon energy economy.
-
The authors of this paper discuss Saudi Arabia’s progress in gas flaring, the measures the government has taken, and how operators have adapted.
-
The authors of this paper describe an initiative taken to measure baseline data for methane emission for gas-processing facilities and gas-transmission and regasification units by using accurate tools and methodologies for detection and quantification.

SponsoredImprove modeling accuracy and reduce the risk of unplanned downtime. By eliminating the need for multiple applications, get more accurate and comprehensive pressure safety studies faster.
-
OSHA cited BP with 10 serious violations, saying the gas production plant lacked adequate training and process controls for leaks. The explosion killed two workers in September.
-
The funding aims to support 22 projects to advance technologies to monitor, measure, and mitigate methane emissions across the US natural gas supply chain.
