Safety
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.
Unlike traditional inspection methods, distributed fiber-optic sensing offers continuous, real-time monitoring capabilities, allowing for early detection and response to potential leaks, which is especially crucial in remote or inaccessible locations.
Technical safety standards are essential as global offshore exploration heats up.
