“…Acheampong and Kemp [13] suggest that operators and regulators should commit to focusing on major accident reduction efforts predicated on goal-setting safety case principles that identify key safety-critical elements of an O&G installation and put in place risk-based mitigation measures. Acheampong and Kemp [13] also suggest that fair, effective, and participatory regulatory regimes can ensure a collective drive by all stakeholders toward improving industry safety performance and promoting a better safety environment.…”

To fill a gap in understanding of the Generative Voluntary Safety Reporting Culture (GVSRC) in the Gulf of Mexico (GOM) Oil and Gas (O&G) sector, perspectives of stakeholders based on their experiences were explored using attributes of a proposed Offshore Safety Action Program (OSAP) modeled after the Aviation Safety Action Program (ASAP). A phenomenological approach encompassing semi-structured interviews (n = 18) and five focus-group sessions (n = 18) was used to collect data from a cross-section of top management, supervisors, regulatory representatives, and subject-matter experts (SME). Four themes emerged from a Thematic Analysis: (1) Voluntary safety reporting culture, (2) Voluntary safety reporting bottlenecks, (3) Universality, and (4) Organizational review of safety events. Most respondents strongly supported the OSAP because it ensures a formalized adjudication of voluntary safety reports by an Event Review Committee (ERC) with representation from employees, management, and regulators. Most respondents supported the non-punitive and confidential attributes of the OSAP as a means to enhance GVSRC. However, there were varying perspectives on defining intentional disregard for safety under the OSAP. Due to the enumerated challenges of cost, respondents agreed that organizations use a scalable process commensurate with the complexity of their operations when adopting the OSAP. A veritable framework for data-driven corrective actions, organizational learning, and enhanced GVSRC in the offshore sector is a potential policy implication of adopting the OSAP.

“…Effective risk assessment is a cornerstone of health and safety management in the oil and gas industry [16]. Rigorous identification, evaluation, and mitigation of potential hazards are essential to prevent incidents and protect personnel [17]. This includes conducting thorough hazard analysis, implementing engineering controls, ensuring proper equipment maintenance, and promoting proactive safety practices.…”

The maintenance and productivity of oil and gas wells heavily rely on well service, which is provided by various departments including Laboratory and Maintenance. Although existing work procedures are in place, operational effectiveness and quality are often inadequate, leading to errors, unstructured tasks, downtime, and safety hazards. In order to improve the quality of well service, a set of standardized work procedures based on DMAIC principles is proposed. This paper presents findings from field observations, performance index analysis, and HSE statistics. By implementing redesigned Standard Work Instructions, a reliable mitigation measure is found to be achievable, as evidenced by House of Risk data. The results suggest that a sustainable and effective operational service strategy for well segments can be established through a carefully designed set of Standard Work Instructions.

Decommissioned oil and gas wells that pose a danger to the environment due to emissions of methane, which is a powerful greenhouse gas and one of the man-made factors that weaken the stability of the planet in the context of global climate change. The prospects of using resistant plants common in natural phytocenoses to the influence of oil contaminants in phytoremediation practice are analyzed. The bioindication suitability of oil-sensitive plant species, which are recommended for use in monitoring studies of the quality of technogenic-transformed environment, is revealed. The choice of equipment for the restoration of abandoned wells has been made.
