Offshore & Remote Operations
Offshore platforms and remote onshore facilities present unique challenges including emergency evacuation, medical response and communications.
Environmental Spill & Discharge
Operations must manage the risk of hydrocarbon spills, produced water discharge and air emissions to meet NOPSEMA and EPA requirements.
Regulatory Frameworks
The sector is regulated by NOPSEMA for offshore operations and state authorities for onshore, with additional obligations under OPGGSA and the WHS Act.
