“…There is a growing recognition of the need to integrate HSE practices with climate change mitigation efforts in the oil and gas industry (API, 2020). Studies have shown that a holistic approach to environmental management, encompassing both HSE and climate change mitigation, can lead to more sustainable operations (Bergerson et al, 2019).…”

This concept paper examines the role of the oil and gas sector in environmental management and climate change mitigation. It reviews existing HSE practices, discusses the integration of sustainable technologies, and proposes a conceptual framework for enhancing environmental stewardship within well engineering and operations. Environmental stewardship is a critical aspect of the oil and gas industry, with a focus on Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE) practices and climate change mitigation strategies. This conceptual review examines the current landscape of HSE practices and explores innovative strategies for mitigating climate change impacts within the industry. The review highlights the importance of adopting robust HSE practices to ensure the safety of workers, protect the environment, and maintain operational efficiency. It emphasizes the need for continuous improvement in HSE standards and the implementation of best practices to minimize risks and enhance sustainability. Furthermore, the review delves into climate change mitigation strategies, emphasizing the oil and gas industry's role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. It discusses various approaches, such as carbon capture and storage (CCS), methane emission reduction initiatives, and renewable energy integration, to mitigate the industry's environmental footprint. The conceptual review also examines the challenges and opportunities associated with implementing these strategies. It identifies regulatory frameworks, technological advancements, and stakeholder engagement as key drivers for promoting environmental stewardship in the oil and gas sector. Overall, the review underscores the importance of environmental stewardship in the oil and gas industry and provides insights into how HSE practices and climate change mitigation strategies can be effectively integrated into the industry's operational framework.

“…There is a growing recognition of the need to integrate HSE practices with climate change mitigation efforts in the oil and gas industry (API, 2020). Studies have shown that a holistic approach to environmental management, encompassing both HSE and climate change mitigation, can lead to more sustainable operations (Bergerson et al, 2019). Despite progress, the oil and gas industry faces challenges in implementing comprehensive HSE and climate change mitigation strategies, including technological and regulatory hurdles (McGlade and Ekins, 2015).…”

“…An important part of this transportation system-level assessment has been to assess the seismic vulnerability of the state highway system. In doing so, the RRAP project team used the Bridge Seismic Screening Tool (BSST) to assess, at a system-level, the potential impacts that a CSZ earthquake could have on state highway bridges (Bergerson et al 2019). 1 Argonne National Laboratory (Argonne), in collaboration with the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT), originally developed the BSST as part of the 2017 Washington State Transportation Systems RRAP project, a sister project to the 2018 Oregon Transportation Systems RRAP project.…”
