INDUSTRY body Oil & Gas UK (OGUK) will next week reveal the results of a survey on collaboration across the sector in a bid to identity efficiencies – a move it sees as vital to extending the life of the UK Continental Shelf (UKCS).
The Supply Chain Collaboration Survey, led by OGUK and Deloitte, examines the motives and effectiveness of partnerships between supply chain companies and operators.
It will be launched on Wednesday at an OGUK event at the Aberdeen Exhibition and Conference Centre.
Last year’s report saw the offshore oil and gas sector clear the second hurdle in embracing effective collaboration, increasing its score to 7.1 out of 10 – up from 6.6 in 2016 – on the Collaboration Index, which aims to measure collaborative practices.
Speaking ahead of the event, OGUK’s continuous improvement manager, Dr Mariesha Jaffray, said: “Collaboration was identified by the Wood Review as a fundamental behaviour in securing the successful future of the UK Continental Shelf (UKCS).
“Our work in the pioneering Efficiency Task Force has shown that industry has embraced this approach and is already reaping the rewards of this cultural change.
“This survey provides us with a further opportunity to identify areas we can build on and improve in our efforts to maximise economic recovery from the UK Continental Shelf, and to ultimately realise Vision 2035.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
