Annie Audibert-Hayet, Extreme Cold Project Manager - R&D,
Total E&P
Minimising the environmental impact of E&P activity in the one
of the world’s few remaining pristine environments, while maximising
returns is the challenge facing all Arctic oil projects.
Magne Ognedal, Petroleum Safety Authority Norway, Jane Cutler,
NOPSA (Australia), Health & Safety Executive (UK) Roundtable
While conditions and operations differ markedly across the globe,
the risks to personnel safety are still often the same. Our roundtable
discusses the effective means of encouraging health and safety best
practice amongst oil companies and their contractors.
Mr. Jan Ketil Moberg, leader lifting equipment, ConocoPhillips
Heavy lift operations are often the most difficult logistical hurdle
for oil companies to overcome, needing specialised equipment tailored

Shell
The use of micro ROVs for inspection, maintenance and repair of
subsea structures is gaining in popularity as the performance, durability,
and size of the technology improves.
Saudi Aramco
As one of the main focus areas of Saudi Aramco’s EXPEC ARC
research unit, we find out how the organisation has been improving
the efficiency and performance of its drilling operations.
BOEMRE
BOEMRE’s Technology Assessment and Research (TA&R) Program
aims to investigate all aspects of offshore structure design fatigue
and damage on facilities in the Gulf of Mexico. From this, it will
make recommendations on design improvements that can be implemented
to improve design shortcomings.
Deborah Price, Integrity Engineer, Shell Pipeline Company
Pipelines cannot be expected to perform without issue for several
decades in some of the harshest environments in the world, without
comprehensive maintenance. To ensure integrity is maintained, we
