Offshore emergency response, an overview!

Offshore emergency response is an integral part of workplace safety for the upstream oil and gas industry. The historical rate of fatal accidents is so high that it necessitates well-planned EER procedures. It took an accident such as Piper Alpha in 1988 to wake up the oil rig industry and initiate an inquiry into the […]

How to make Tripping Pipe a safer operation?

Tripping pipe safety is critical to the oil rig industry since stacks of heavy-duty pipes are being handled by humans in and out of the well. Even a minor misplacement of any connection can cause the pipes to get lost and hit workers. Such a fatal tripping pipe accident happened in October 2015 in an […]

How can AI scenarios optimize EER operations?

AI scenarios for EER (evacuation, escape, and rescue) are algorithms that have been coded by machine learning capability based on massive data collected from industries and past emergency responses. AI analyzes all these data in a fraction of time and observes the patterns that have caused the failures. Then the way is corrected by eliminating […]
