The 2008 Standard Offshore Forum
The growing difficulty in recruiting people with the necessary skills was cited as the biggest challenge facing the offshore oil sector in a poll of delegates attending the annual Standard Club offshore forum in London on 29 October. The event, a gathering of the Club’s offshore members from around the world, included a debate regarding the risks faced by the sector. Afterwards, 61% of the 55 people taking part cited the numbers of suitable personnel in a vote as to the biggest challeng facing the sector. Shortage of personnel came well ahead of geopolitical issues with 17%. Asked to predict what would be the biggest risk in ten years time, personnel again came top with 35%. However, environmental issues came a close second with 33%, reflecting concern at the increasingly remote and hostile geographical locations where oil exploration is taking place. The Forum also included presentations by Alistair Groom, Chief Executive of the Standard Club, on the Club’s performance over the past 12 months, and by Andrew Iyer, head of the global Energy and Offshore Group at lawyers Ince and Co, on the topic of consequential loss clauses in offshore contracts. Copies of their presentations are below.
