Modern Inspection of Drilling Rigs Using 3D Scanning and Advanced Non-Destructive Testing
With the expansion of drilling activities and the increasing complexity of equipment used in the oil and gas industry, ensuring the health and mechanical integrity of equipment has become one of the most critical operational concerns. Drilling rigs and their vital components—especially systems such as Blowout Preventers (BOP), Top Drive, Drawworks, and Crown Block—operate under

Vehicle Emission Tests
With the expansion of urbanization and the continuous increase in the number of motor vehicles, air pollution has become one of the most important environmental challenges worldwide. A significant portion of this pollution is caused by emissions from vehicle exhaust systems. During the fuel combustion process in engines, various compounds are produced, some of which

Synchronized Pattern of Speeding and Cell Phone Use; Increased Crash Risk in New IIHS Report
According to a new analysis by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) using data collected from insurance-linked safe driving apps, drivers who exceed the speed limit are also more likely to use their cell phones while driving. This pattern suggests that the combination of speeding and phone-related distraction can significantly increase crash risk. David

Introduction of IIHS New Whiplash Prevention Test
The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has introduced a new test to evaluate how well vehicle seats and head restraints protect occupants from neck injuries. This test is specifically designed to assess protection in rear-end crashes. Early results show that out of 18 small SUVs tested, only four achieved a “good” rating—once again highlighting

Technology and Ecocide: How Some Industrial Technologies Can Lead to Large‑Scale Environmental Destruction
Technological developments over the past two centuries have played a decisive role in economic growth, improving quality of life, and expanding human welfare. From the Industrial Revolution to the digital age, technology has increased production, facilitated communication, and raised life expectancy. However, these same advances have in some cases produced deep and sometimes irreversible environmental

and the Responsibility of States in Environmental Protection
In recent decades, the intensification of environmental crises such as climate change, deforestation, ocean pollution, and biodiversity loss has brought increasing attention to the concept of “ecocide.” The term refers to severe, widespread, or long-term destruction of the environment that significantly disrupts the ability of ecosystems to sustain life. In this context, an important question

Can Artificial Intelligence and Satellite Data Help in Proving Ecocide?
In recent decades, large-scale environmental destruction has become one of the most pressing concerns of the global community. Industrial activities, excessive exploitation of natural resources, widespread deforestation, and major environmental pollution have caused serious damage to natural ecosystems. In this context, the concept of “ecocide” has emerged as one of the most severe forms of

Inspection Services for Refinery Revamp Projects: A Risk Management Guide (Part two)
Following the discussions presented in Part I regarding the importance and strategic role of inspection services, this article provides a deeper examination of the implementation challenges faced by inspection teams in refinery revamp projects. It also introduces innovative technologies that significantly contribute to overcoming these challenges while enhancing inspection quality, reliability, and safety. Key
