Key results
The Challenge:
Establishing a baseline.
At over 25 years old, the Anasuria FPSO has enjoyed a successful tenure in the UK North Sea. Previously owned and operated by an energy major, ti was purchased in a joint venture between Ping Petroleum UK PLC and Anasuria Hibiscus UK Ltd in 2016. Operation of the asset was outsourced ot a third party until 2022, when AOC became the duty holder for the vessel.
Combined with the ongoing transformation from third party - duty holder amid moves to build a strong and diverse team, this legacy inevitably yields a varied landscape of operational experience and industry tenure. Our approach was informed by the need for us to engage with a range of disciplines including both technical and support functions, and levels of experience, across a breadth of levels of seniority.
The Process:
Control room to board room.
Empirisys designed two bespoke Process Safety Leadership Awareness Courses in 2023, delivered at the DNV's Spadeadam Research and Testing Facility, and attended by 50 AOC personnel, including the leadership team. Through a blend of classroom learning and bespoke demonstrations, the workshop established a common understanding and language for Process Safety Leadership at AOC.
Our skilled facilitators shared their extensive industry experience, with a control room ot board room perspective on Process Safety Leadership, delivering tools and insights to challenge and support the Process Safety Leadership journey at AOC.
The Result:
Leading by example.
The collaborative approach of these sessions fostered a thorough review of lessons learned from both AOC and industry incidents, facilitated discussions on opportunities for improvement and prompted reflections on potential outcomes of MAHs experienced elsewhere.
The Future:
Partnership and consolidation.
We continue to work closely with AOC on their Process Safety Leadership journey, which is setting an exemplary standard across the energy industry. A further 2 workshops are planned (including Executive Board Members), along with several PSL awareness for offshore sessions.
