The 24th World Petroleum Congress

The triennial World Petroleum Congress is renowned as the petroleum industry’s equivalent of the Olympics.

It encompasses various topics, including technological advancements in both upstream and downstream operations, the significance of natural gas and renewables, and the exploration of broader social, economic, and environmental implications of the petroleum industry. 

The world population is still increasing, and billions of people need to be brought out of energy poverty, requiring more energy in the future than today.  Our challenge is to involve all stakeholders so that our energy transformation is responsible and reflects good governance and the needs of society, the climate, and the environment, leading to a reliable, economically viable, and sustainable energy future and a better world for all.

This will be the net zero approach addressed at the Congress.

Over the next twenty-five years, the 24th edition of the World Petroleum Congress will be an important bridge between the traditional energy sector and a more carbon-neutral industry. Many important conversations will take place in Calgary to help define realistic, workable paths to a net zero future.

This year, Girish Hingorani, one of our Americas Account Executives, and John Van Tessel, our Director of Global Sales, were there and had some time to talk to you about all things asset integrity management.

Girish Hingorani, a qualified Functional Safety Engineer and our Technical Account Executive for the Americas, presented the topic Digital Innovation to Simplify and Manage Risk Analysis Studies with Ease in the session on Safety & Risk Management (Forum 14).

📅 Date: 19th Sep 2023
⏲️ Presentation time: 10:15– 11:15h
📌 Location: Technical Forum 14  

The industry has always focused on the safety of people, assets, and the environment and will continue to do so.

Assessment of all the risks and uncertainties and the development of practical strategies are necessary to ensure the highest safety standards and risk minimization and mitigation.

Achieving those objectives depends on training, quality data, robust workflow processes, and robust and reliable procedures for identifying, evaluating, and addressing the broad variety of risks inherent in the oil and gas industry.

In this forum, we will look at best practices, increasing adaptation of innovation in technology, and strategies as requirements for the highest level of safety and successful risk management as part of good governance.
