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 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.
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.

SPE has formed a new technical section focusing on human factors engineering, which seeks to bring in knowledge from other industries, thereby ensuring safe operations and fostering a coordinated safety culture from top-level executives to workers on the ground. -
Engineering culture is largely a safety culture. We have to assume that people will make a mistake and protect them from themselves through the way we design facilities.

This paper reviews the key areas for facility designers and engineers to include when designing facilities to ensure safe facilities. Use and incorporation of the principles outlined in this paper should enable engineers and designers to build safe facilities that reduce the risk of major incidents.
