We are pleased to announce the release of Report 813 & 813u from the Safety Committee.

The global oil and gas industry has aligned to report and classify Process Safety Events (PSEs), leveraging processes outlined in industry standards such as API – Recommended Practice 754, Process Safety Performance Indicators for the Refining and Petrochemical Industries or IOGP Report 456 – Process safety – recommended practice on key performance indicators. However, regardless of the Tier classification, a PSE could result in more severe safety consequences, depending on when and where it occurred.

This Report enables companies to follow a simple, repeatable methodology, using a series of flowcharts and tables, to assess the potential for a PSE to result in Fatality or Permanent Impairment (FPI) injuries aiming to learn from these events, even when the PSE resulted in lower or no consequences.

📢 We are pleased to announce the release of an updated Report from the Geomatics Committee.

➡️ Report 483-6u – IOGP P6/11 – Seismic bin grid data exchange format user guide

This Report provides practical guidance on implementing the IOGP P6/11 format to support the consistent, accurate, and efficient exchange and long-term management of 3D seismic bin grid position data across the industry. Seismic data is a fundamental input to exploration, appraisal, and production decisions, helping minimise risk, optimise well locations, and manage reservoirs through 4D technologies. It is also a key input for carbon capture and storage projects, including high-resolution imaging of the overburden. The P6/11 format is used industry-wide to define the geodetic framework and geometry of the bin grid on which a 3D seismic survey is based, whether representing original acquisition geometry or subsequent post-processed bin grids.

With seismic survey costs reaching hundreds of millions of dollars—and positioning elements accounting for a significant proportion—maintaining spatial integrity is critical to protecting the value of seismic data. Leveraging the IOGP EPSG geodetic model, the P-format provides a structured mechanism for data delivery and semi-automated quality control of the spatial component.

Developed through collaboration with industry stakeholders, this User Guide reflects current practice and advances in geodesy and geophysics. By promoting the standardised exchange of complex, large-volume seismic data, this work helps reduce integration complexity, protect data value, and enable more reliable, AI-ready data processing and decision-making across the energy sector.
