Seminar to focus on tackling hydrocarbon releases
A special seminar dedicated to hydrocarbon releases is to be held to showcase the work which has been done across the industry in the last year to tackle the issue and profile the work which is ongoing.
Tackling hydrocarbon releases – potential precursors to major incidents – is a priority for the oil and gas industry. In 2010 the industry kick-started a new drive to tackle leaks, setting itself a 50% reduction target by April 2013, after years of steady improvement began to level off.
Jointly organised by Step Change in Safety and Oil & Gas UK, the seminar is aimed primarily at operational managers, maintenance and integrity engineers; offshore installation managers, health and safety practitioners and safety representatives.
The event will be chaired by the co-chairs of Step Change’s Asset Integrity workgroup, which has been central to the co-ordination of the industry’s hydrocarbon release reduction work, including sharing of learning and best practice.
Delegates will have the opportunity to:
- Hear from the leading companies which have made significant developments towards reducing releases
- Find out about new industry-led initiatives which could benefit your company
- Listen to the Health and Safety Executive’s thoughts and expectations of industry
- Express their views on the potential challenges and obstacles
- Engage with colleagues and industry practitioners
The event on 15 March 2012 will close with an interactive question and answer session where delegates will be able to question and discuss key issues with the speakers.
