Ergonomics Issues in Oil and Gas Sector
Abstract: AbstractNumerous industries have effectively actualized ergonomic arrangements in their facilities as an approach to address their workers injury risks. These interventions have included adjusting existing hardware, rolling out improvements in work practices and acquiring new tools or different gadgets to aid the creation procedure. Rolling out these improvements have reduced physical requests, eliminated superfluous developments, brought down damage rates and their related laborers' remuneration costs, and reduced employee turnover. In …

Soil Microbial Biomass and Microbial Quotient under Different Plantations at Maldeota, Dehradun, India
Abstract: Microbial properties have been reported to be useful indicators of soil quality and could serve as assessment criteria for the successful rehabilitation of ecologically disturbed areas. The microbial quotient – ratio of soil microbial biomass C to soil organic C – may, therefore, be a more sensitive parameter to monitor organic matter dynamics than either microbial biomass C or soil organic C considered alone. The study site is located at …

The Application of Python Programming Language in the Automation of a Mathematical Model for Well Trajectory Selection Optimisation for a Given Field
Abstract: Directional drilling plays a major role in the exploration and recovery of hydrocarbons. There are three basic trajectories that a well may follow. They include; Build-and-Hold, Build-Hold-andDrop and Continuous-Build Trajectories. The selection of a trajectory is usually based on experience/trial and error approach and may be associated with errors. This work has therefore developed a mathematical model that optimised the automatic selection of a well trajectory type for a given …

An Oil and Gas Retrofitted Carbon Capture Utilisation and Storage Value Chain: A Green Industry
Abstract: Fossil fuel consumption continues to be crucial to industrialisation. It has continued to contribute to over 80% of the world’s total primary energy production for the past three decades. The primary cause of climate change, however, has been identified to be the rising greenhouse gases emission from the use of fossil fuels. Hence, a proposed solution to this is to switch to greener, lower-carbon energy sources. Despite growing concern over …
