Safety
A resilience-based approach to safety was the focus of a panel of experts at the 2025 SPE Annual Technical Conference and Exhibition in Houston.
This paper focuses on developing a model that can be used in an automated, end-to-end flare-smoke detection, alert, and distribution-control solution that leverages existing flare closed-circuit television cameras at manufacturing facilities.
This paper presents a physics-informed machine learning method that enhances the accuracy of pressure transient analysis, predicting reservoir properties to enhance waste slurry injection and waste disposal.

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. -
To explore motor vehicle safety, the agency is conducting interviews with workers as well as focus groups with managers and supervisors.

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.

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.
-
OSHA issued citations to oil and gas waste-management company Production Waste Solutions for failing to protect workers from hydrogen sulfide after an employee died.
