The oil and gas industry is going through a major technological
shift. This is particularly true of the Norwegian continental shelf
where new work processes are being implemented based on digital
infrastructure and information technology. The term Integrated
Operations (IO) has been applied to this set of new processes. It
is defined by the Centre for Integrated Operations in the Petroleum
Industry as 'work processes and technology to make smarter
decisions and better execution, enabled by ubiquitous real time
data, collaborative techniques and access to multiple expertise'.
It's claimed that IO is efficient, optimises exploration, reduces
costs and improves safety performance. However, the picture is not
as clear-cut as it may appear. On the one hand, the new work
processes do not prevent major accidents: IO-related factors have
been identified in recent events such as the Deepwater Horizon
catastrophe. On the other hand, IO technology provides improved
decision-making support (such as access to real-time data and
expertise), which can reduce human and material losses and damage
to the environment. Given these very different properties, it's
vital that the industry has a detailed understanding of the
benefits and drawbacks of IO, which this book sets out to do from a
multidisciplinary point of view. It analyses Integrated Operations
from the angles of statistics, management science, human factors
and resilience engineering. These varied disciplines provide a
multifaceted understanding of IO that better informs risk
assessment practices, as well as explaining new techniques and
methods and provides state-of-the-art guidance to risk assessment
practitioners working in the oil and gas industry.
