CASEFOR

ACTIONDilution of skills across upstream sector

In 2012 the percentage of upstream project & construction engineers with less than four years experience has grown f 20 t f th t t l kf t j t 36from 20 per cent of the total workforce to just over 36 per cent. – Hays Oil & Gas Salary Guide 2012

The effects of this middle management gap of petro g g p ptechnical engineers are soon likely to be felt in the form of greater safety risk. This exposure increases the likelihood of a black swan event that threatens to damage the environment gand destroy shareholder value. – “Mind the Gap: Experienced Engineers Wanted”; AXA Investment Managers

Activity and industrial mission focus

Close loop between equipment process and people Close loop between equipment, process, and people

Leverage MTS guidance and introduce DSTs to manage risk Emphasize need for technical review in addition to auditsp DSTs - Development and implementation of ASOG / WSOG

DPSAFE Delivery method

Interactive!

Leverages: Leverages: Simulator technology with operational experience Teamwork by professional trainers and field experienced professionals Effective combination of lecture simulations video clips discussion Effective combination of lecture, simulations, video clips, discussion,

and anecdotes Course delivery team are professionals with analytical, technical,

engineering and operational skillsengineering and operational skills
