Risk management
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…
This article from the SPE Integrated Reservoir Management Technical Section (IRMTS) addresses decisions that look stronger than they are and take longer to implement than the reservoir can afford.
This paper explores how artificial intelligence (AI), cognitive models, and integrated digital tools can transform readiness from periodic drills into a continuous, measurable capability.
