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.
