Looking forward to talking all things decom at Offshore Energies UK #DecomConf24 - for me it’s all about materials (waste) management and the circular economy so come along to stand #28 to find out more about what we do in this space for both oil and gas and offshore wind. Also here is my colleague Phil Smith who’s excited to share what we do in the technical safety and risk management space. #sustainablewastemanagement #circulareconomy #decommissioning #oilandgas #offshorewind #technicalsafety #riskmanagement

📣 𝗟𝗶𝗳𝗲𝘀𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗿𝘂𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗼𝗳𝗳𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗱 📣 https://lnkd.in/eQJMwjpc Lifesaving rules have been used across several industrial sectors with proven success at reducing fatal and serious incidents. Members and associates of G+ Global Offshore Wind Health and Safety Organisation assessed the applicability of existing rules to the offshore wind industry and vs the G+ incident data. Following this analysis, the G+ decided to develop a set of lifesaving rules (LSR) for the offshore wind industry to further a common safety approach and culture at a time of rapid growth and international expansion for the industry. With a dedicated LSR set attuned to the risk profile of offshore wind activities, the G+ hopes to: - Provide clear and simple statements, easy to understand and follow − Support suppliers and workers new to the industry. − Provide a set of LSR that is easy to align with and map into contractual requirements, representing a common denominator. − Further the safety culture of the industry. The G+ encourages companies operating in the industry without an LSR or equivalent, programme to adopt the G+ set for their offshore wind related activities. For companies with existing programmes, the G+ encourages the use of the G+ LSR to bridge between theirs and their contracted partners. The following supporting materials are available from the G+ website: - Implementation guide - The icons in high resolution so you can create your own materials - A starter presentation (editable) - A 'Ask yourself, your team, your supervisor' question set Translations are being finalized - watch this space! https://lnkd.in/eQJMwjpc #safety #offshorewind

🎉Excited to announce G+ Life-saving rules 🎉 Having been the sponsor of the G+ Life-saving Rules it means the world to now see them published and available to everyone in our industry. It was a personal decision for me to take on this important work, driven by several key factors. But with the common denominator being the safety of all people working in our industry. Unified safety culture I’ve seen firsthand the challenges that come with varying safety standards across different regions and companies. By supporting the G+ LSR, we can establish a unified baseline for our safety culture that transcends country and company borders, making it easier for our frontline workers to understand and adhere to key safety protocols. Our Life-saving rules I am pleased and proud to also mention that we have already launched the G+ lifesaving rules across Ørsted Life-saving rules in Ørsted with our top management facilitating a large number of sessions on different sites and locations before the summer. It’s about leading by example and showing that safety and operational excellence go hand in hand. I’m truly invested in the success of these rules. I believe that clear, straightforward guidelines can significantly reduce risks and save lives. This project aligns perfectly with my personal mission to ensure that everyone returns home safely every day. #SafetyFirst #Sustainability #Orsted #LifeSavingRules

Offshore wind projects are important for producing green energy, but they've got special challenges related to the environment and keeping people and workplaces safe. It's crucial to handle these risks well so nobody gets hurt, the environment stays okay, and it works in the long run. This article discusses how you figure out and deal with the safety and health risks at sea wind power places, and it points out how crucial the boats are for doing many jobs - EHS Risk Management is needed!

Damage prevention managers at oil and gas companies face the monumental task of maintaining pipeline integrity. Read our latest article to uncover why a strong pipeline monitoring system is vital, not just for them, but for the broader community, and how data and AI can provide essential support. #geospatial #criticalinfrastructure #riskanalysis #pipelinemonitoring

Interesting article.

A must-read for companies working in the offshore wind sector.

Great news for the Australian #offshorewind industry today with the release of the OEI Amendment Regulations 2024. My team is preparing Management Plans for 3 of the 12 offshore wind projects in the Gippsland declared areas. We're eagerly awaiting the release of the associated guidelines from the Offshore Infrastructure Regulator to ensure we're on the mark. If you need advice on Management Plans, need to make a start on your plan, or require peer review of your plan, please get in touch. #offshoreenergy #Gippsland #environmentalconsulting #environmentalapprovals

On June 26, 2024, the Alberta Energy Regulator (AER) announced updates to Directive 011, Industry Parameters and Liability Costs, following its information session on June 13. This release marks the beginning of scheduled updates to the Liability Management Framework (LMF) and the planned removal of the Liability Management Rating (LMR) and Licensee Liability Rating (LLR) in October 2024. This initial phase of the AER's proposed two-year update to industry liability estimates focuses on revising well abandonment costs across Alberta. The proportional adjustments in tubing and rod well abandonment costs by geographic area are detailed in the graphic below. 360 Engineering & Environmental Consulting has conducted a comprehensive review of the updated Directive 011 values across geographic areas and completion types. This assessment included benchmarking against 360’s proprietary data and internal Asset Retirement Obligation (ARO) methodologies. To discuss the implications of these updates, please reach out to Graeme Hawkins, 360’s Manager of Asset Retirement Obligations or Logan Riexinger, Project Engineer, ARO.   #WeMakeitSimple #ARO #AER

Floating Offshore Wind!! Easiest way to eliminate unsafe operations is to eliminate operations….right? ❤️ Bardex OmniCraneTM - for launch and retrieval on dry land from a stable platform is capable of launching a fully integrated floating offshore wind platform EVERY day!! ✅Eliminates the need for launching using a barge or semi submersible, which comes with many operations and operational safety issues…also how do you use these to retrieve?? Even more operational safety issues!! ❤️ Bardex OmniCraneTM - designed to support sub assembly building on the ground and fewer lifts at 130m. ✅Current execution for 15Mw and even bigger - integrating a floating offshore wind platform OVER water, installing tower, nacelle and blades - stick building at 130m comes with many operational safety issues. ❤️ Combine the OmniLift and the OmniCrane, this supports launch and retrieval of a fully integrated platform, platform O&M across its life cycle, Life Extension, DECOMM on a stable platform of ANY steel and or concrete floating Offshore wind platform. ❤️Bardex combined solutions ALSO support: ✅OEMs - better RISK profile for integration on land. ✅Dry storage. ✅CO2 reduction for ever platform over the life of the platform. ✅Significantly reducing CAPEX. ✅Significant reducing OPEX. ✅Maximizing infrastructure DEVEX, as Bardex solutions are also market agnostic. ✅Supports govt, port and developer Net Zero goals - all our soltions are designed to run off the grid. ✅Designed to maximize local content bringing jobs back to the local community. ✅Less reliance on Carbon credits. ✅A reduction in LCoE Lets set up a meeting to explore how we can support you. dmcquillan@bardex.com
