2012 Safeguards Implemented • Our ice management plan and critical operations curtailment plan were successful in keeping our assets, people and the environment safe while dealing with the ice; also our ice and weather forecasting were outstanding and provided the assurance we needed to keep all vessels working and out of harms way. • A real time ice and weather forecasting system enables Shell to determine “real time” issues that are on the horizon well before a reaction is needed. • We have trained 2,500+ employees to adhere to our Health, Safety, Security and Environmental standards to prevent unsafe behaviors that result in accidents and potential environmental impacts. • 9 Communication Centers activated to ensure subsistence users were aware of where Shell’s operations and so Shell would know where subsistence users were at any given time. • 11 Subsistence Advisors were employed from St. Lawrence Island east to Kaktovik to help Shell mitigate potential impacts from operations. • 5 Community Liaison Officers were on board to help communities understand Shell and operations that were taking place. • Real Time Operating Centers to monitoring drilling activities downhole which allows Shell to respond to potential issues rather than react. • Protected Species Observers on all Shell assets including aviation to help collect data and monitor to avoid impacts. • Advanced Data Acquisition Manager (ADAM) keeps track of all vessels offshore and aviation assets as well as weather data points, i.e. sea ice analyses.
