Every year, as many others on this day, I commit 22 minutes to watch the 𝗥𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗣𝗶𝗽𝗲𝗿 film and cast a solemn eye back at the Piper Alpha tragedy: 167 souls is a weight we carry, a constant push to ensure such a catastrophe never befalls our industry again. Yet, from the ashes of that loss, the oil and gas industry has found a fierce resolve to embark on a relentless pursuit of excellence in human performance and process safety. We've implemented stricter regulations and procedures, invested in advanced technology and controls, and not last, fostered a far deeper respect for the power of the forces we harness. Today, let's honor the memory of those lost on 𝗣𝗶𝗽𝗲𝗿 𝗔𝗹𝗽𝗵𝗮 by watching this film, and encourage others to watch, and committing to keep pushing the boundaries of safety for those colleagues and friends who work tirelessly in the frontline to keep our world moving. #SafetyFirst #HumanPerformance #OilandGasHSE #ProcessSafety #OilandGas #TakingEnergyForward #Energy #PiperAlpha #RememberingPiper #StepChangeInSafety

The subsea photos in this article can’t have come from anywhere other than staff leaking them to the press. I suspect that who ever shared these pictures is breaching his/her contract. The social license of companies like Woodside Energy is rapidly eroding - but when even staff and contractors getting paid by these companies are leaking this type of embarrassing information, you know it’s bad. If these companies don’t change their strategy, I fully expect to see more and more of this sort of thing.

Remembering Piper Alpha: A Tragic Legacy and Lessons Learned On July 6, 1988, the North Sea witnessed one of the worst offshore oil disasters in history—the Piper Alpha explosion. This catastrophic event claimed 167 lives and profoundly changed the oil and gas industry's approach to safety. Piper Alpha was originally an oil production platform, later modified for gas production. A series of safety failures and human errors led to a gas leak, igniting a massive explosion and subsequent fires. The tragedy underscored the critical importance of rigorous safety protocols and emergency preparedness. Key Lessons from Piper Alpha: 1. Safety Culture: Prioritize a safety-first mindset at all organizational levels. 2. Emergency Response: Implement robust emergency response plans and ensure regular training. 3. Maintenance Protocols: Enforce stringent maintenance and inspection routines to prevent equipment failures. 4. Regulatory Oversight: Strengthen regulatory frameworks and ensure compliance with safety standards. The legacy of Piper Alpha continues to remind us that safety in the energy sector is non-negotiable. Let’s honor the memory of those who lost their lives by committing to a safer future. #PiperAlpha #OilAndGas #SafetyFirst #HSE

What would you do if you could solve >50% of your pipework maintenance issues before they even begin? You would save time, expose operators to less risk, prevent environmental damage, keep your assets up and running, safeguard yourself from regulatory penalties… And it could save you millions every year. Detecting CUI with Pi as part of a routine inspection campaign can be an ordinary part of your SOP – but the results for safety, the environment and cost-saving are extraordinary.

Today marks the anniversary of the Piper Alpha disaster, which occurred on July 6, 1988. As we remember the 167 lives lost in this tragic event, it serves as a somber reminder of the importance of safety and vigilance in the oil and gas industry. The lessons learned from Piper Alpha have shaped safety standards and protocols worldwide. Let us honor the memory of those who perished by continually striving to improve safety measures, ensuring that such a catastrophe never happens again. #SafetyFirst #OilAndGas #HSE #PiperAlpha

North Sea platform incident: Serious regulation breaches come to light following worker injury and gas leak   Norwegian state-owned energy heavyweight Equinor has been served with a notice of order from the country’s offshore safety regulator after a probe into an incident, which resulted in an injury and led to a gas leak at a platform in the North Sea, located on one of the oldest producing fields on the Norwegian Continental Shelf (NCS). 🔽 Find more info in comments below 🔽 #Equinor #NorwegianEnergy #OffshoreSafety #GasLeak #NorthSea #NorwegianContinentalShelf #RenewableEnergy #GreenEnergy ⤵️ Click Follow on our page to keep up to date with energy news ⤵️

Texas has launched a new program aimed at addressing the issue of unplugged oil wells, which pose significant environmental and safety risks. With almost half a million unplugged wells, Texas boasts 'the most aggressive' well-plugging program in the U.S. So why doesn’t it seem to be making any progress? This article delves into the challenges and potential impact of the initiative. Learn about the program's goals, the obstacles it faces and what this means for the future of well decommissioning in Texas. https://hubs.ly/Q02B94rZ0 #OilAndGas #PlugAndAbandonment #WellDecommissioning #PlantsAndGoodwin

To produce this well, the operator required a lower completion with a high-rate pumping capacity, an upper completion with dual production safety barriers, and a V0-rated interventionless-setting production packer for effective annular isolation. Read the case history and learn how much offshore rig time was saved with the integrated and efficient Weatherford completion solution. https://lnkd.in/gd3D2nJV #OilandGas #Completions #Deepwater #Offshore
