there! I would like to thank the many competent, committed managers and employees of our magnesium plant in Bécancour, Canada, which began the process in March of shutting down production after 20 years in business. Despite their best efforts running one of the most advanced magnesium plants in the world, they could not compete with lowcost suppliers in Asia. They are preparing for closure and preparing themselves for a new future with our help. You can read more about the employees at Bécancour in this issue. Join me in wishing them the best of luck in this challenging time. As we all know, we’ve already found the “easy oil.” To meet the demands of an increasingly energy-hungry world, we need to look in more challenging places than ever before. Sometimes the challenges are merely technical, while at other times the challenges can be political or environmental.

Even if you haven’t had an accident recently – or maybe especially if you haven’t – you’ve got to keep an eye on safety. 6-7 Two-time winner. For Hydro Polymers in Aycliffe, winning the President’s Safety Award for the second time is a stepping stone, not a pedestal. 8-12 Green drilling in the deep blue. The Nucula drilling project in the Barents Sea represents the very best in environmentally sound exploration. 14-17 Emotional closure. Employees reluctantly say goodbye at magnesium plant in Canada. 18-23 Water and light. When Hydro’s oil and gas activities join the new StatoilHydro company as planned later this year, the hydropower operations now part of Oil & Energy will remain in Hydro. 24-25 Operators show way at Acro. They say improvement starts with the one looking in the mirror. A team of operators at Hydro’s precision tubing facility in Brazil is doing just that – and performance is improving. 26-29 Have you lost something? Do you treat information as a valuable item? You should. 30-31 Another breakthrough oil and gas rig. A “slug rig” enables researchers on dry land to mimic conditions offshore. 32-33 Boosting casthouse performance – big time. Aluminium’s Reference Center helps solve casthouse problems and improve ways of working. 34-35 It helps to help. Hydro’s centenary contribution to voluntary organizations is being put to good use in many places around the world. 36-37 A good life in aluminium. 38-39 Postcard from Honningsvåg hi&lo 13 hi5 40
