Identification and management of risks related to an uncertain operating environment is especially important when it is an oil or gas wellsite where risks can go beyond the physical and financial losses: human lives. Early identification of an uncertain event can significantly reduce this risk. The aim of this study is to use the information as intangible assets for purposes of identification and management of risks. We are particularly interested in a hazardous event: the gas inflow while drilling of an oil or gas well, through three sources of information: general information on the internet, technical and scientific publications on Google Scholar and patent publications on Google Patent, WIPO or Esp@cenet.
Early identification of a potentially dangerous event is not an easy task. It requires advanced tools and technologies, but also a particular attention and human expertise. Information on tools and technologies are available in various forms on the internet: manufacturers and service providers' brochures, technical and scientific publications and also in patent databases. How to find and exploit this wealth of information? This study shows the importance of information and its appropriate use at the right time to reduce risks related to operational activities in uncertain and potentially dangerous environments. We used any tools of research and analysis of information such as Google, Google Scholar, Google Patent, and Matheo Patent Matheo Web.

Abstract: (french)
L'identification et la gestion des risques associés à un environnement opérationnel incertain sont importantes notamment lorsqu'il s'agit d'un chantier de forage pétrolier ou gazier où les risques peuvent aller au-delà des pertes matérielles et financières : des vies humaines. L'identification précoce d'un événement incertain réduit considérablement ces risques. Le but est d'utiliser l'information comme capital immatériel à des fins d'identification et de management des risques.
Nous nous intéressons en particulier à un événement dangereux : la venue de gaz durant le forage d'un puits pétrolier ou gazier à travers trois sources d'informations : l'information générale sur internet, les publications techniques et scientifiques sur Google Scholar et enfin les publications de brevets sur Google Patent, WIPO ou Esp@cenet.
L'identification précoce d'un événement potentiellement dangereux n'est pas une tâche facile. Elle nécessite des outils et des technologies sophistiqué mais aussi une attention et expertise humaine. L'information sur les outils et les technologies existent et disponibles sur internet sous divers formes : brochures des fabricants et des fournisseurs de services, les publications techniques et scientifiques mais aussi dans les bases de données de brevets. Comment trouver et exploiter cette masse d'information ? Cette étude démontre l'importance de l'information et son utilisation adéquate au bon moment pour la réduction des risques liées aux activités opérationnelle dans des environnements incertains et potentiellement dangereux. Pour cela, nous avons utilisé des outils de recherche et d'analyse de l'information tels que Google, Google Scholar, Google Patent, Mathéo Web et Matheo Patent.
