In the years ahead, the energy and oil industries will be working together more and more; gigantic plans for the development of offshore wind farms are the most recent example.  It is crucial that these industries incorporate the best aspects of each other.  This is the background for the 3rd annual Offshore and Energy HSE Conference, in Stavanger, March 9th-10th, 2010.  See the programme at:  www.offshore.no/hms.


Meeting at this conference are two industries in the midst of a realignment process and, with HSE as a backdrop, they will highlight business opportunities for both sectors.  The energy industry has a long tradition in Norway, while the oil industry started its now 40-year history by implementing American standards. In an amazingly short time, the industry established procedural mechanisms grounded on Norwegian culture and mindset; and they didn’t just apply to contractual and business contexts, but also to health, safety, and environment.  This has put the Norwegian oil industry and its suppliers among the world elite and has provided the foundation for significant technological advances, resulting, in turn, in export earnings.

What Can the Energy Industry and the Oil Industry Learn from Each Other?
The government and the energy industry are investing billions in environmentally friendly, renewable energy, which represents an enormous market potential, not just for traditional energy supplier companies, but also for suppliers who have so for been focused on the oil industry.  Particularly interesting is that the energy industry doesn’t seem to be as controlled by the state of the market as the oil industry, allowing the energy industry to think long-term.

At the same time, there is little doubt that the energy industry has much to learn from the oil industry, especially when it comes to health, safety, and environment.  With big new projects in the works, a comprehensive overview of HSE will be crucial.  This is not just important for suppliers, but also for the employees and main business partners of oil and energy companies. 

Relevant conference delegates include:

  • Employees of oil companies with HSE business operations
  • Employees of energy companies with HSE business operations
  • Employees of main suppliers, who work with HSE
  • Employees of sub-suppliers, who work with HSE
  • Key people from governmental authorities, insurance companies, financial institutions, and the civil service

The 3rd annual Offshore and Energy HSE Conference has gathered 15 prominent presenters from governmental authorities, operators and suppliers, such as Statoil, Statkraft, Energy Norway, Shell, Lyse Energy, Skagerak Energy, and the Petroleum Safety Authority Norway.  The goal is to put the concept of HSE into a larger context, which will also reflect future business opportunities.  This is the first time such a conference has made such an exciting crossover and we have already received extremely positive feedback on the conference programme.
