Session 4: Technologies for HSE and Sustainability in Drilling Operations

Wednesday, 4 December
Technical Sessions

In line with every oil and gas company's goals and objectives to create a safe work environment and achieve more sustainable operations, this session will focus on showcasing the current initiatives and technologies companies are applying today to improve drilling operations safety and sustainability.

The session will also aim to cover different methods on how operators are planning and executing wells in a more sustainable manner such as considering a low carbon technology,  different types of well optimisation technologies that can minimise CO2e emissions, reduce water consumption, and drilling waste release to the environment. Additionally, types of energy efficiency technologies drilling contractors have been adopting such as hybrid power systems, engine energy optimisation technologies, low power equipment, etc will also be discussed.

In HSE, the focus will be on the new HSE methods, tools, and technologies that has been followed to improve situational awareness and impacts the safe work environment such as implementation of computer vision, wearables, sensors, digital tools, etc.
