Safety promoted at expo
ECOURAGING SAFETY The oil and gas industry cannot afford to be complacent when it comes to safety
Energy services company Lloyd’s Register Energy is challenging oil and gas companies to improve their approach to safety, performance and technical innovation to ensure the world’s advancing energy supply is changing in a sustainable way, from reservoir and refinery to beyond.
Lloyd’s Register consulting senior VP Bjørn Inge Bakken says, with a changing energy mix and increased challenges around innovative exploration and production techniques, the industry cannot afford to be complacent when it comes to safety.
The global safety and certification organisation says industry must adapt to anticipated future market and technology developments, but that it must not lose sight of safety.
“All stakeholders have a responsibility and interest to assure the safety and reliability of new, cleaner and more sustainable energy sources, to meet with increasing energy demands and government targets worldwide for reducing carbon emissions,” he says.
At the Offshore Northern Seas exhibition, held in Stavanger, Norway, during August 25 to 28, Lloyd’s Register Energy reinforced its commitment to operators by promoting awareness and understanding of how assets should be managed with new technologies introduced that help to secure upcoming energy sources to meet future energy demands.
The company’s topics of discussion at the exhibition included sensor applications on tension risers, pipeline noise and vibration analysis and launching all-new simplified offshore rules and industry guidance.
“While industry is getting smarter at managing the performance of its key existing assets, there is still a long way ahead in adopting new innovations that better secure future oil recovery. “We hope our insights for industry and the media will encourage the debate around change,” says Lloyd’s Register Senergy CEO James McCallum.
