Safety
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 paper explores how artificial intelligence (AI), cognitive models, and integrated digital tools can transform readiness from periodic drills into a continuous, measurable capability.
This paper presents a competency-cenetered, data-driven approach implemented to strengthen control-room emergency-response capability through a cloud-hosted, scenario-based virtual plant simulator.

Work by researchers at the University of Saskatchewan aims to advance the understanding of clathrate hydrates, crystal cages of ice that can trap gas and liquids. -
Members of the International Association of Oil and Gas Producers reported 32 fatalities and a 26% jump in hours worked in 2024, which lowered the rate by 0.03 per million hours worked.

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.
