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.

Unlike traditional inspection methods, distributed fiber-optic sensing offers continuous, real-time monitoring capabilities, allowing for early detection and response to potential leaks, which is especially crucial in remote or inaccessible locations. -
Technical safety standards are essential as global offshore exploration heats up.
-
The journey to safety excellence is not paved with quick fixes but with deliberate, data-informed strategies.
-
Artificial intelligence is transforming how organizations enhance safety performance and build a strong culture of safety excellence.

This paper describes the use of coiled tubing in a pilot project for carbon dioxide injection, enabling evaluation of the conversion of an existing oil field for CCS purposes and derisking storage-development uncertainties before having to cease hydrocarbon production.
-
This paper describes the first riserless coiled tubing services operation performed in a live subsea well and the associated improvements in efficiency, cost savings, and safety.
-
This paper describes a case history in the UAE in which the cleanout of scale contaminated with naturally occurring radioactive material was conducted successfully.
-
This paper proposes a model for understanding safety culture maturity that can help an organization understand how engaged their employees are in safety and what potential barriers there may be to that engagement.
-
The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health and its predecessor, the US Bureau of Mines, have significantly contributed to enhancing the safety of miners and to applying new technologies to the mining industry.
-
This paper looks in detail at the technical advances of new digital confined-spaces monitoring technology and how the technology maximizes worker safety and efficiency.
