Application of Real-Time Monitoring of Offshore Oil and Gas Operations: Workshop Report
TRB's Conference Proceedings on the Web 17: Application of Real-Time Monitoring of Offshore Oil and Gas Operations: Workshop Report explores the topic of real-time monitoring of offshore oil and gas operations. The workshop report summarizes presentations made by invited panelists and other remarks by participants in the committee’s workshop in Houston, Texas, on April 20–21, 2015.
The Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement
(BSEE) of the U.S. Department of the Interior asked TRB’s Committee on the Application of Real-Time Monitoring of Offshore Oil and Gas Operations to conduct this workshop. This report—the first of two that will be issued by the committee—summarizes the prepared remarks of workshop presenters, comments made by the workshop audience, and the ensuing discussions. A workshop report is not intended to contain any consensus findings or recommendations and does not necessarily reflect any consensus views of the committee, the workshop participants as a whole, or the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine.
Following the workshop, TRB released Special Report 322: Application of Remote Real-Time Monitoring to Offshore Oil and Gas Operations, which provides advice to BSEE on the use of remote real-time monitoring (RRTM) to improve the safety and reduce the environmental risks of offshore oil and gas operations. The report also evaluates the role that RRTM could play in condition-based maintenance (CBM), and how BSEE could leverage RRTM into its safety enforcement program. A Report in Brief for this special report is also available.
