Abstract
As the oil and gas industry is facing tumultuous challenges, adoption of cutting-edge digital technologies has been accelerated to deliver safer, more efficient operations with less impact on the environment.
While advanced AI and other digital technologies have been rapidly evolving in many fields in the industry, the HSE sector is playing catch-up. With the increasing complexity of risks and safety management processes, the effective application of data-driven technologies has become significantly harder, particularly for international organizations with varying levels of digital readiness across diverse global operations. Leaders are more cautious to implement solutions that are not fit-for purpose, due to concerns over inconsistencies in rolling out the program across international markets and the impact this may have on ongoing operations.
This paper describes how the effective application of Artificial intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) technologies have been used to engineer a solution that fully digitizes and automates the end-to-end offshore behavior-based safety program across a global offshore fleet; optimizing a critical safety process used by many leading oil & gas organization to drive positive workplace safety culture. The complex safety program has been transformed into clear, efficient and automated workflow, with real-time analytics and live transparent dashboards which detail critical safety indicators in real time, aiding decision-making and improving operational performance.
The novel behavior-based safety digital solution, referred to as 3C observation tool within Noble drilling, has been built to be fully aligned with the organization's safety management system requirements and procedures, using modern and agile tools and applications for fully scalability and easy deployment. It has been critical in sharpening the offshore safety observation program across global operations, resulting in a boost of the workforce engagement by 30%, and subsequently increasing safety awareness skill set attainment; improving overall offshore safety culture, all while reducing operating costs by up to 70% and cutting carbon footprint through the elimination of 15,000 manhours and half a million paper cards each year, when compared to previously used methods and workflows
