The oil and gas sector is heavily reliant on storage tanks and containers, from petroleum, crude and refinery oil tanks to gas stations and depots, all of which require ongoing maintenance to preserve structural integrity and extend operational life. Research shows that most storage-tank failures in the oil and gas…

The use of alcohol and other drugs can have enormous impacts on oil and gas operations, including affecting relationships, safety, productivity, and business reputation, and requires ongoing effort towards testing, training, and education. This makes it imperative for employers to develop an effective drug and alcohol policy to reinforce a…

The integration of advanced technologies with non-destructive testing methods is significantly enhancing critical inspection procedures regularly carried out on oil and gas equipment and infrastructure. Non-destructive testing (NDT) involves the use of non-invasive methods to quantitatively inspect, measure, and evaluate the integrity of critical infrastructure, equipment and systems without interfering…

With capital-intensive energy projects balancing strict timelines and budgetary constraints, investing in unused, surplus oil and gas equipment at an affordable price can be the crucial lever of a project’s viability. Repurposing surplus equipment can deliver significant cost savings, improve operational efficiency through faster deployment and support sustainability by reducing…
