The Company’s Operations Integrity Management System (OIMS) requires ongoing evaluation and improvement of management systems
and standards. Training on control of operations is one of the 11 key OIMS elements. All operations undergo regulatory compliance reviews
as part of their OIMS requirements. Jan van Kampen and Marlou Bergboer inspect flow lines at one of 29 production locations in the
Groningen gas field in the Netherlands.
We believe an organization that has a
disciplined approach to safety carries that
discipline into all aspects of its operations.

in the Corporation’s environmental performance. At the
locations visited, individuals at all levels demonstrated a high
degree of personal commitment to OIMS implementation

Business Plans into the annual planning cycle has

extent to which environmental considerations have been
integrated into its business processes for ongoing operations
and for the planning and development of new projects.”
Spills
Since 1996, spills from company-operated marine vessels
have decreased by 90 percent. Nevertheless, we are not
satisfied. Lessons derived from any spill or near-miss are used
to further improve our performance and reduce incidents
throughout the world. Our experiences are also shared
with those who provide chartered marine services to us.
