The CSG Industry – Working Together To Address our Safety Challenges Mark Macfarlane Chief Executive Officer GLNG Operations Pty Ltd
A challenging environment – the backdrop of public perception • Environmental concerns including the potential impacts to water • Natural disaster impacts on energy safety (recent events in Japan) • LNG Plants and Ships • Industry regulation • Poor operational practices and leaking wells • Landholder loss of rights • Growth for Gladstone, resulting social impacts • Sorting the ‘facts’ from the urban myth
Safety insights for downstream operations • Upstream we work in the backyards of our rural communities with our individual Corporate identities • We all converge at Gladstone and the Community sees us as ‘those LNG people’ • Implications beyond construction: • logistics across the water • an increasingly busy port • 1000s of workers travelling to and from the mainland • Risks en-route as well as during construction • Safety training and accreditation practices • Contractor and sub-contractor behaviour
Safety performance across selected industries in Australia Source: APPEA Year in Review 2009 -2010 – from National Online Statistics Interactive (NOSI) system for 2007/08
Potential areas of collaboration across our industry • Common Industry accreditation • Shared training facility (support a common passport) • Shared medical facility on Curtis Island • Shared rural/LNG fire response capability • Shared aero-medical evacuation service • 100% openness in Environment & Social Licence to Operate matters across all proponents
