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.
Through realistic simulations, virtual reality allows for an unprecedented level of immersion and interactivity that traditional training methods cannot offer.
Researchers with the National Energy Technology Laboratory showed that naturally occurring signals in underground fluids can serve as effective indicators of flow patterns between existing wellbores. Understanding these patterns can lead to increased efficiency and safety.

This paper discusses and demonstrates the limitations of quantitative risk assessments (QRA) with respect to the usefulness of the concept in managing day-to-day and emerging risks as well as the effect of change. The paper goes on to discuss improved solution sets compared with pure reliance on QRA. -
“Riskwashing” refers to a situation where an organization engages in superficial or insincere actions to create the appearance of addressing a particular risk or issue without actually taking substantive action to address the underlying problem. This paper presents methods to identify and minimize riskwashing as an organizational response to incidents.
