HCR AI Assistant

Analyse HCR Data in Seconds

  • How the HCR AI Assistant Was Developed
  • HCR AI Assistant Quick-Start Guide

The HCR AI Assistant is a collaborative project between Offshore Energies UK (OEUK) and Salus Technical. It was created to help industry professionals, regulators, and anyone interested in offshore safety to explore and understand hydrocarbon releases (HCRs) reported in the UK between 2016 and 2024.

  • 01. Data Source:

    The assistant uses data from all ROGI (Reporting of Oil & Gas Incidents) forms submitted during this period. The raw data was reviewed, cleaned, and organised to ensure accuracy and make it easy to query.

  • 02. Data Preparation:

    Each HCR record was checked for errors and standardised. Incomplete or unclear entries are marked as “Unknown” or “N/A”, so the assistant always tells you when information is missing. The final dataset covers a range of factors, such as causes, equipment types, severity, detection methods, and more.

  • 03. AI Integration:

    The assistant is powered by a custom-built AI model that can interpret natural language questions and return useful answers in plain English. Depending on your question, the assistant can summarise findings, display results in tables, or generate charts to show trends and patterns.

  • 04. Design and Functionality:

    The chat interface was developed as a web-based tool that is simple to use and works on any device. The design was refined with feedback from industry users, making sure it is both practical and user-friendly. You can also download your chat transcript, including tables and charts, for reference or reporting.

  • 05. Continuous Improvement:

    Feedback from users is welcomed and used to improve the tool. If something doesn’t look right or if you need more detail, you can let us know directly through the platform.

    The HCR AI Assistant is intended as a learning and decision-support tool, helping to improve understanding and management of offshore hydrocarbon releases in the UK.

The HCR AI Assistant is a chat tool that answers your questions about offshore hydrocarbon releases reported in the UK from 2016 to 2024.

  • 06. How to use it:

    Type your question:
    Use the chat box to ask anything about hydrocarbon releases, such as:

    1. Please describe all of the data that you can plot.
    2. How many significant releases were reported each year since 2016?
    3. Which equipment types are most often involved in high-pressure releases?
    4. How are most offshore hydrocarbon releases detected?
    5. Tell me everything you know about hydrocarbon releases.

    Read the answer:
    The assistant will respond with a summary, table, or chart, depending on your question. Answers use the best available data, but you may see “Unknown” or “N/A” where details were not recorded.

    Explore further:
    Try rephrasing your question or ask follow-up questions for more detail.

    Download your results:
    You can download a PDF of your chat session, including any tables or charts shown in the conversation.

  • 07. Tips:
    • Keep questions specific for the most accurate results.

    • The assistant is designed for learning and decision support—if you spot any issues or need additional details, please provide feedback via the tool.

  • 08. Note:

    The assistant relies on official ROGI data. In some cases, not all details may be available for every incident.
