Responding to the continuous advancement of technology, Ipieca, IOGP, OGCI, and the Energy Institute have released an update of this guidance and online tool to help operators select and deploy methane detection and quantification technologies.
This guidance clarifies currently used terminology in the water stewardship space and presents users with a streamlined water stewardship action scheme that synthesises water frameworks and disclosure standards for the energy sector.
Undertaking ‘meaningful engagement’ not only enables companies to meet regulatory guidelines and international standards, but also build robust, constructive and reciprocal relationships with stakeholders.
The oil and gas industry operates in many locations where people work, and often live together, in close quarters, such as offshore installations, ships, and remote camps. In these types of locations, infectious diseases can spread rapidly, affect workers, and disrupt operations. This guidance has been developed for local management and operations personnel working in these locations.
This recommended practice identifies key drug and alcohol programme elements and is intended for use by contractor companies and oil and gas industry owners and operators.
The increasing global movement of people and goods elevates the risk of the introduction, spread, and establishment of invasive alien species (IAS), impacting biodiversity and businesses. This document provides guidance for prevention and management.
The Readiness Evaluation Tool for Oil Spills (RETOS™) aims to assist governments and companies in assessing their level of oil spill response planning and readiness management.
Oil and gas operations take place in many countries where the quality of medical services and specialities differs. It is therefore important for a company to assess local health facilities to ensure that they can provide optimal medical care for their workers.
This industry-specific document provides guidance on the prevention of food- and water-related diseases.
An Incident Management System (IMS) is essential to optimizing response times and efficiency, providing clarity in command and control, improving resource coordination and communications, and facilitating the cooperation and integration of responding organizations.
