Safety
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.
This paper describes an emergency-response system deployed on artificial islands that manages complex challenges, enhances safety protocols, and improves operational efficiency in high-risk offshore environments.

The Petroleum Safety Authority Norway is worried about a rising number of serious incidents in the industry and has asked the companies to prioritize work on safety. -
In 2019, the oil and gas industry experienced 25 deaths, according to a new report released by the International Association of Oil and Gas Producers. This compares with 31 fatalities in 2018.

As the science has developed, accident-causation models have improved understanding of why accidents happen and how to reduce their likelihood. In more contemporary models, this approach also has been used to improve the understanding of why things go right and how to increase that likelihood.

The IOGP Safety Committee has conducted a multiyear strategic project to focus on fatality prevention, known as Project Safira, which addresses transportation safety, personal safety, and process safety. This paper presents data-analysis work conducted on process safety and the associated learnings.

The oil and gas sector has always been inherently risky. No matter how far mitigating efforts go or by how much technology improves, it is unlikely that risk will be removed entirely anytime soon. That being said, the sector has made huge strides in recent years to better protect those who serve it.
