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.

The partnership will deliver autonomous robots for safe work in adverse land, sea, and downhole environments. -
This paper will discuss the importance of proactive operator monitoring (POM) as a safety barrier, explore some of the mechanisms by which monitoring can be defeated or degraded, and consider the kind of safeguards that might need to be put in place to prevent such degradation.

With their gee-whiz—albeit artificial—intelligence, robots may be the industry’s answer to jobs deemed dangerous, dirty, distant, or dull.
-
The platform, created by DrillingVR and safety group DROPS, has been designed to present online space for collaboration, meetings, and learning about dropped-object prevention.

Can safety professionals leverage the spotlight on the profession to push correction and compliance?
-
In almost all organizations, incidents are analyzed and lessons learned are identified. While many hard-won performance improvements have been delivered over the long term, achieving the next level of performance will require more than just incremental improvements.
-
A recent test proved the feasibility of using LiDAR on remote-controlled drones to create 3D maps of the inside of tanks, increasing the safety and efficiency of inspections.
-
Between your current level of safety performance and excellent safety performance there is a gap. If you are going to reach excellence, you must bridge that gap. Before you can bridge it, you must identify the basic elements that create it.
