Safety
The company said its frequency of serious incidents was down at the end of the year from its levels at the end of 2024.
This paper presents a novel application of artificial intelligence in computer vision for automating blowout-preventer pressure-chart-data extraction, demonstrating significant efficiency gains and a high return on investment.
This paper examines how real-time monitoring can improve both incident prevention and emergency response in the oil and gas industry. Drawing from real-world examples and case studies, it provides practical strategies for implementing this technology effectively.

In this online seminar, Alistair E. Gill, general manager for engineering services at Wild Well Control, will explain how computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and other simulation tools are used by Wild Well Control to quantify and reduce risk, plan operations, and improve response effectiveness. -
SponsoredInnovations in wireless measurement technology can offer the prospect of improving wellsite safety and operational efficiency while reducing costs. This case study, prepared in conjunction with Baker Hughes, a GE company, discusses how.

Considering most of the rigs deal with human-machine interface systems, the role of human factors is at the heart of any successful operation. Eye-tracking technology can be useful in real-time operation centers where ocular movement data can improve the professionals’ performance.

A survey of more than 100 leaders in hazardous industries suggests that oil price has had a moderate or significant effect on process safety risk, characterized by major job cuts, loss of corporate memory, cost-cutting, and overall belt-tightening brought on by the downturn.

Increasing evidence suggests that welding-fume exposure is associated with systemic inflammation.

Accidental detonation of a perforating gun at surface can have catastrophic consequences. To decrease risks, layers of procedural controls have been implemented to reduce the inadvertent application of power caused by human error, stray voltage, or the presence of radio frequency (RF) energy.

DNV GL has published a paper to support the safe use of artificial intelligence. The paper asserts that data-driven models alone may not be sufficient to ensure safety and calls for a combination of data and causal models to mitigate risk.

Though many people understand that employers have workplace responsibilities regarding their employees' health and safety, far fewer understand that the employees also have certain legal obligations they must meet.
