After one small ceremony this week, NASA and Deloitte hope to make a giant leap in improving oil field safety.
The space agency and the consulting firm signed off on a partnership to provide advanced risk-management services to oil and gas companies.
It will focus on preventing risk scenarios that have a low probability of occurring but have devastating consequences, such as the Deepwater Horizon offshore oil well disaster or the in-flight destruction of the space shuttles Challenger and Columbia.
Specific risk management areas that the partnership will offer potential clients include predicting risk, maintaining a risk-aware culture, modeling risk scenarios and staying abreast of emerging trends in risk management.
