Oil & Gas Whitepapers

Aberdeen Business School at Robert Gordon University (RGU) carried out research into the role of information systems in enhancing health, safety and emergency response in the oil & gas industry. The report, sponsored by AVEVA, is based on RGU’s research which gathered information from health & safety (H&S) managers, senior managers and engineers in the global oil & gas industry, through an online questionnaire. Respondents’ business types included operating companies, contractors, service companies and suppliers. Confidential, in-depth Critical Incident case studies were carried out in four representative businesses, interviewing key individuals able to comment authoritatively on the information aspects of dealing with the incidents.

An industry leader and innovator, Milliken has created this white paper to educate the reader regarding Milliken's flame resistant (FR) Amplitude fabrics.  It will also address key factors that are important to consider when selecting FR fabrics for flame resistance and arc protection garments.

The consequences of a failed oilfield hose are significant: downtime, cost overruns, lost production, missed schedules, personal injury, property damage and the failure of associated equipment.

Installing the best-coupled hoses is not enough to ensure optimal operation on an oil rig. Proper handling, storage, use and maintenance of rotary drilling and vibrator hose assemblies are essential for long-lasting performance and safety. Plus, external inspection and field pressure testing prior to any continued service of a hose assembly are critical for eliminating serious bodily injury or severe property damage.

To avoid the costly consequences of failed oilfield hoses and hydraulic assemblies, Gates Corporation engineers have developed detailed guidelines for rig safety managers, superintendents and drilling contractors.
