Risk management
The 2026 Upstream Scale Guidelines establish a common workflow for field measurements, scale modeling, and risk assessment to support more consistent operational decisions.
This paper presents an approach for safe, efficient, and cost-effective legacy well reabandonment.
A shared digital mindset across subsurface, subsea, and drilling and wells is accelerating well planning at Vår Energi.

Early commitment to new energy projects can jeopardize their chances of success. Understanding and mitigating the risk of these projects is key to their success. -
The authors of this paper describe a software technology that balances calculated well-integrity risk with the associated financial impact for an entire integrity-surveillance program.

After Russia started a war in Ukraine, oil prices increased and brought in higher oil export revenues in the short run. Longer term, things are looking rougher.
-
High prices have predictably led to production booms that end in busts. But in this cycle, the focus has shifted from production growth to cash flow growth.
-
Seven facilities design and public engagement principles are identified as key elements for the future oil and natural gas production facilities for the DJ Basin, and maybe even as a guide for other North American onshore shale basins.

Data from Sphera’s latest Safety Report reveals a persistent gap between the intent and reality of process safety management, while environmental, social, and governance concerns are a growing consideration for process-safety management and operational-risk management professionals.
-
Many leaders commit to the aspiration of no harm to people, but they may need help on the substance and actions that will make a difference. The authors share their insights gained from decades of robust experience in safety culture and performance improvement and where it succeeds or fails.
