Oil, Gas & Energy
Specialist SHEQ support for high-hazard operations in upstream, midstream and downstream energy sectors.
Industry Overview
The oil, gas and energy sector operates some of Australia's most hazardous facilities, where the consequences of failure can be catastrophic. From offshore platforms and onshore processing to pipelines and renewables infrastructure, businesses in this sector must maintain world-class safety, environmental and quality management systems. SHEQ Management brings specialist knowledge of both the regulatory landscape and operational realities of the energy sector, helping clients protect people, the environment and their social licence to operate.
Key Risks & Requirements
Process Safety & Major Hazard Facilities
Upstream and downstream facilities handling hydrocarbons must manage major hazard risks through rigorous process safety management and bowties.
Hydrocarbon Release & Fire Risk
The potential for catastrophic loss of containment events demands robust permit-to-work systems, emergency response planning and regular drills.
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.
Competency & Training
Technical roles require formal competency frameworks to ensure workers can safely perform critical tasks in complex operating environments.
