Safehouse Spotlight on Maintenance and Repair

Oil & Gas UK Aberdeen – 27th April 2016

Safehouse will be attending the first of Oil & Gas UK’s Share Fair Spotlight events on 27th April 2016 at Oil & Gas UK Aberdeen.

In the first of a series of events, the topic under the spotlight is maintenance and repair, and how operators and supply chain companies can engage in constructive dialogue to identify ways to cost-effectively optimise safe operational performance and increase the ‘up-time’ of offshore production facilities.

Stuart Gray, International Technical Support Manager and Andy Roddie, Business Development Manager at Safehouse, will be in attendance.

This new event supports the objectives of the industry’s Efficiency Task Force to promote co-operative business behaviours which help drive down cost escalation on the UK Continental Shelf.

Stuart said: “Our SAFEHOUSE habitats are already widely used by operators throughout the UKCS, and globally, with asset repair and maintenance being core to our business. We are already providing proven cost efficiencies and increased ‘up-time’ on our clients’ projects – that’s why they continue to use us over and over again.

“We hope the event will offer an invaluable opportunity for us to share our best practice in this area, and explain to new audiences how our innovative technology and approach is cost effectively optimising safe repair and maintenance projects.”

As a new way to bring operator and supply chain communities together in conversation on key industry challenges, Oil & Gas UK’s Share Fair Spotlight events aim to encourage the development of a demand-led supply chain. The event aligns with other efficiency initiatives focusing on delivering the services, expertise and equipment that address the most pressing needs of the UK oil and gas industry as it works towards maximising economic recovery and restoring competitiveness to the UK Continental Shelf.
