PANEL SESSION 5: Utilising Technology to Enable Safety, Care for Environment and People Wellbeing
The oil and gas sector faces the critical challenge of balancing energy demands with compliance with safety, environmental responsibility, and workforce well-being. Technology plays a key role in achieving this balance. Digital innovations are transforming traditional practices to create safer, cleaner, and more people-centric operations.
Automation, remote sensing, and predictive analytics play a crucial role in minimizing risks inherent to oil and gas extraction and processing. These technologies enable real-time monitoring, proactive maintenance, and enhanced emergency response, safeguarding both personnel and assets.
Technology also facilitates environmental stewardship. From reducing greenhouse gas emissions through carbon capture and storage to minimizing ecological impact via drone-based leak detection and spill response, technology is paving the way for a more sustainable industry.
Furthermore, technology contributes to workforce well-being. Wearable sensors, virtual reality training, and ergonomic design improve safety, enhance skills, and promote a healthier work environment.
Embracing technology, the oil and gas industry can navigate the energy transition responsibly to prioritize safety, environmental care, and people's well-being.
During this panel session, we will explore how technology is reshaping safety, environmental protection, and workforce well-being in the oil and gas industry. The session will delve into specific technological advancements that enhance safety and wellbeing.
