Technological advancements have a broad scope in terms of experimental, analytical, field cases and numerical studies in complex petroleum engineering projects. These can be pertinent to transportation system and gathering and safety in oil and gas production. The current research was aimed at examining the challenges pertinent to safety prognostic technology as well as various ways in which it can be implemented for resolving issues in complex petroleum engineering projects. For the conduct of this research, qualitative methodology was used and primary data was assessed to present critical evaluation of the stated aim. The interviews were conducted from 10 petroleum engineers working in different public and private companies in Pakistan. The snowball technique followed by thematic analysis data analysis technique was applied for the generation of primary findings. The results of the research examined that safety prognostic technologies are significant in terms of enhancing safety, reliability and reducing the possible errors in maintenance. It has further examined that in complex engineering systems, there are multiple propagation paths to different consequences some of which might differ with respect to the most single faults.
