Introduction
Health and Safety of Individuals and Environment protection is a top priority for Oil and Gas companies
HSE misstep can lead to significant reputational damage, astronomical fines and corporate/personal criminal liability. Key challenges include
Upstream – Unsafe remote drilling and production operations, environmental concerns with new extraction methods like fracking
Midstream - Aging pipeline infrastructure causes leaks & theft
Downstream - Unexpected refinery shutdowns, greenhouse gas and other emissions

HSE Digitization
Technology can help mitigate these HSE risks.
Digitization involves applying cutting edge new technologies listed to existing products, practices platforms, solutions, services and processes to create new value and reduce risk
Structured collection of high-quality data and advanced analysis can help companies produce actionable HSE insights in real time.
