Safety Procedures

Jobs and industries around the globe are following the Darwinist model of needing to adapt to change for survival. A high proportion of the next generation entering colleges, technical and further education (TAFE) and universities today are preparing for jobs and tasks that do not exist yet. Recent technological advancements have meant that some industries and workforces are at risk of being left behind. With national and international safety regulations getting increasingly strict and competition tightening, the importance of maintaining a modern workplace and workforce to comply with safety procedures has never been more apparent. The oil and gas industry is one such field where safety audit, compliance and effective inspection are paramount. With considerable industry regulations, standards and checks, it is imperative that there are good systems in place. Implementing mobile technology is fast becoming the universal solution within the oil and gas industry to ensuring effective management and thorough compliance.

The Right

As oil and gas operators and service providers look to embrace automation and analytics, many of the traditional partnerships with Aboriginal communities relating to employment and career pathways are likely to be challenged. The paper explores how digital trends are affecting, and are likely to affect, Indigenous communities in their partnerships with oil and gas organisations. Workplace roles and activities are evolving in our increasingly digitised world, causing a perceived threat to employment for minority groups such as Indigenous communities. In order to ensure the ongoing presence of opportunities for Indigenous workers in the ‘future of work’, oil and gas organisations will need to augment digital technologies to cater for and enhance existing and future roles. This paper presents a framework for Indigenous communities, governments, oil and gas operators and service providers to embrace digitisation and create sustainable relationships. An approach is considered to engage with Indigenous communities with objectives of executing on their Reconciliation Action Plans and addressing culture and employment challenges that arise through digitisation. The framework positions oil and gas operators and service providers to pivot themselves not only to sustain, but also to enhance Indigenous employment opportunities in a digital workplace. Digitisation is here, but with the right approach it can positively affect and shape partnerships between oil and gas organisations and Indigenous communities.

Safety Procedures

After Finding the oil & gas occurrences in the subsurface using various methods and tools that were available in Upstream Oil and Gas Industry. Further reaching the reservoir and taking out the Oil & Gas from those to the surface the fuel have to transport and store to get purify for supply to the required user. Here the Midstream peoples plays a vital role in it. The drilled Oil and Gas have to transport from the occurrence to the destination Refinery so it have to be planned well and many safety procedure have to be done to avoid any problem in those transportation and after transporting to the destination it must be maintained in perfect temperature condition and perfect storage tanks either above the ground or the underground .Again there are some safety procedures to be followed which were approved by the Government safety norms. This article deal about the process and procedures in transporting and storage of fuels from upstream to midstream to downstream .Also about the safety precaution and procedure to be followed to have a safe storage and handling.

Current Monitoring

The new CSA Standard, Security Management for Petroleum & Natural Gas Industry Systems, is changing the operational landscape throughout the oil and gas industry. This document focuses on an innovation that will help pipeline operators meet the new recommendations for monitoring and managing their remote assets as outlined in the new CSA standard. This paper includes an analysis of the current monitoring architecture that can be used for compliance with the new regulation as well as a detailed comparison of different architectures. New video surveillance architecture developments are also reviewed. The IntelliView technology uses software that turns passive cameras into video sensors capable of reporting video-based behavior exceptions based on user-defined rules. A hardware device known as a SmrtDVR sits on site and records the video in the highest quality (H.264) to ensure the images are clear for review and investigation. It acts like the brains of the system, able to think if the images it is seeing on the cameras are ones that it has been programmed to alert the pipeline operator about. Alerts can include: trip wire, loitering, object taken/left behind and man down. When an alarm is triggered, a real-time event notification is sent in an (optional) JPEG format to smart phones, monitoring stations and/or third party monitoring companies. These in-situ devices require minimal communication, power and IT infrastructure and notify operators with video driven alerts. A performance evaluation of the proposed system is presented that illustrates how IntelliView’s unique architecture is outperforming the current industrial practice.
