QSE Offshore Oil/Gas

QSE have been offshore with ENSCO, Premium Drilling, SAIPEM, Integrated SubSea Services (ISS) Atlantic Oilfield Services, Pyramid Drilling, Pecten Cameroon and De Beers Marine drilling.

 

 

QSE OSPAR

As a contractor to DNV Certification, QSE have performed OSPAR audits at CALGAS, DANA Petroleum, LUNDIN and TAQA

 

 

QSE MIST

QSE has recently completed the   a part of the new "Step Change in Safety" initiative for "Minimum Industry Safety Training (MIST) which has become a requirement to work offshore for some operators such as Apache, Maersk Drilling, BP etc  
Initially it was planned that all companies across the UK offshore oil and gas sector will have completed this training by the end of 2010.

 Quote

Apache will require all its Contractors visiting or working on its offshore installations to have completed the MIST training.  Apache's expectation is that all new contract (and staff) employees will undergo MIST training before they go offshore as of the 1st January 2010.  For existing contract employees (and staff) they must complete their MIST training by 31st December 2010, otherwise they will not be allowed onto an Apache platform. The cost of this training will be borne by the Contractor.

                             HSE Target Ageing Offshore Installations for Inspection

August 2010

The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) has announced this week that it is to undertake a new inspection programme of oil and gas installations in the North Sea, known as the Ageing and Life Extension Inspection Programme (also known as Key Programme 4 or "KP4").

After around 40 years of oil and gas production, many offshore installations have now exceeded their original life expectancy. The offshore environment can be extremely tough on an installation. However, with increased technology, many installations are expected to remain operational for the foreseeable future, and it is feared that these installations may struggle to maintain the required degree of asset integrity in the years to come.

The new inspection programme was announced at a seminar for senior industry managers, unions and policy makers in Aberdeen on Wednesday 28 July, by the head of the HSE’s Offshore Division, Steve Walker. Mr Walker said that "the issue of ageing installation is not a new one…ageing installations run the risk of deterioration, which can have serious consequences for installation and asset integrity. This is not acceptable. The safety of 28,000 workers is dependant on systems and structures being in good working order now and in the future".

 The objectives of Key Programme 4 are:

  • to identify duty holders’ approaches to the management of the risks to asset integrity associated with ageing and life extension;
  • to raise awareness of the need for specific consideration of ageing issues as a distinct activity within the asset integrity management process;
  • to enforce an appropriate programme of remedial action where necessary; and
  • to work with the offshore industry to establish a common approach to the management of ageing installations.

 The initiative is to run until September 2013
