SAIC: Shale Gas Resource Plays Transforming Domestic, Global Energy Pictures

Major world leaders, including those in the United States, have attempted to accelerate the green energy industry through low-interest rate loans, feed-in tariffs, and tax incentives. As a result, both research and development and production-oriented systems have made tremendous progress. However, as the global economy slows further and government debt increases, will the nation stomach more government subsidies for energy? Instead, the focus may turn to a cleaner base load alternative power source that has emerged in 32 of the 50 U.S. states: shale gas.

If Your Organization is Fighting a War on Error, Take the Marines With You!

As a former Marine aviator, and commercial airline pilot, I find myself in a new and exciting industry with cutting-edge technologies that rival sending astronauts into space. When I first started the journey into helping oilmen reduce human error, I asked myself, “What in the world can a Marine pilot teach crews on an oil rig?” What I found was amazing. The battles that the industry is fighting are the exact same battles with which we perpetually struggle in the Marine Corps and in aviation. We are all in an endless war against human error.

BST: Catastrophic Events: Eight Questions Every Senior Leader Should Ask

The post-Gulf Oil Spill environment is a time to pay attention to leadership and culture to reduce your exposure to catastrophic events. We find the risk management processes of most major oil companies and their major contractors are structurally almost identical. Yet the occurrence of fatal and serious incidents among the top five oil companies varies greatly. This variation relates to how — via human interactions, communications, teamwork, etc. — the technical risk management systems are implemented, not what they are.
