14:00-16:00 Sustainability Technical Sessions – Ballroom I

Session Chairperson(s): Kwasi Amponsah Boateng MSc RIBA MCIArb, Tullow Ghana Ltd and Angelo Madera, ENI

The success and sustainability of oil and gas projects depends on the operational excellence of all the companies involved such projects – the operators (and their joint venture partners) and contractors. In the past operational excellence was focused on narrowly defined technical aspects of the project with a lot of attention and resources given to plans and standards to manage these effectively. There is now a growing recognition and acknowledgement of the real and potential significant adverse impacts of not identifying, assessing and managing what have become labelled as the ‘non-technical’ risks associated with projects – including social performance risks. Operational impacts can be positive, creating new opportunities for local communities and stakeholders. Sometimes, they can be negative, impacting local livelihoods such as the local fishing industry; access to natural resources, such as local biodiversity; and social services. This session covers certain social impact risks and recommendations on how these have and can be managed. The papers and presentations deal with multi-stakeholder approaches to fisheries management; sustainable and socially responsible approaches to operating in an area of high biodiversity; the challenges of implementing international environmental and social performance standards in developing economies; and innovative ways of redefining social investments to ensure they have greater and more sustainable social impacts

09:30-11:00 Guided by History, Shaping the Future: Protecting People and the Environment in Africa Panel Session – Ballroom II

There is no doubt that Africa remains significantly under-explored by oil and gas companies and its prospects and potential for further oil and gas finds remain exceedingly positive. Nonetheless, the history of oil management on the continent has been fraught with problems and mixed successes in creating operationally safe and successful oil and gas fields. This session will pry into the past approaches, share the lessons and learnings, and particularly focus on the changing trend of HSES management over the years and what solutions have been applied to ensure operational safety and the protection of human lives.

11:30-13:00 Infectious Disease Outbreak Preparedness – Lessons Learnt from the Ebola Outbreak in West Africa Panel Session – Ballroom II

In recent times, infectious disease outbreaks such as Ebola have demonstrated that there is a competence gap in mitigating the systemic burdens that result from these complex public health emergencies. Many lives have been lost and millions of dollars have been spent while building optimum approaches and resilient health systems to deal with these public health threats. This session will focus on the needs and gaps in current approaches, key successes and lesson learned and particularly highlights opportunities and potential approaches to improve the global system addressing future outbreaks and emergencies.

Session Chairperson(s): Janeen Judah, Chevron and Samuel Tawiah, University of Mines & Technology

Protection of the environment has never before been as crucial as the seemingly surmountable environmental challenges from global warming to endangered species have become so glaring in our day. A responsible business in today’s global perspective includes one that is environmentally friendly in nature. In an industry perceived to be an enemy of the environment, it is imperative that all operations be carried out in an environmentally friendly manner whenever possible to turn the situation around. This session will throw light on the environmental impacts and safeguarding mechanisms employed in recent inland seismic acquisitions in Ghana and Uganda. It will also demonstrates how recent technological developments in remote sensing, surveillance, and associated computing capabilities are changing the ESIA approach.

14:00-16:00 Process Safety Technical Session – Ballroom II

Session Chairperson(s): Edward Abban, Tullow and Manuel Graças de Deus, Chevron

In the 1980s, a series of accidents in refining, chemical and petrochemical sectors around the world drove the formal development of process safety in the US and the Piper Alpha incident in the North Sea drove the UK and several other countries to require “safety cases” for both offshore and onshore facilities. It became clear that due to the serious public, personal and business consequences associated with these events, that regulations specifically aimed at preventing catastrophic process plant accidents was needed. In the US, industry associations initiated complementary technical projects to develop standards on major accident prevention systems. Ultimately, these came to be known as “process safety,” and in 1992 large sections of the industry standards requiring preventative management systems (e.g. asset integrity, procedures, risk assessment, training, etc.) as the core of major accident prevention, were incorporated into U.S. regulation. This session covers papers that show how the industry is developing and looking to improve its performance in Process Safety by applying good Process Safety metrics, Risk Management and hazard mitigation principles in reducing incidents.

09:00-10:30 Managing volatile regulatory changes and uncertainty in the context of EHSS Panel Session – Ballroom II

Over the past years proposed regulatory changes and uncertainty in processing amendments and oil and gas policy adjustments across the region are impacting investments in Africa’s oil and gas sector. Stringent regulatory and fiscal regimes may also be making projects less attractive. Would the fast and changing regulatory environment become an impediment to sustained growth? This session would allow experts to share knowledge and regulatory experiences that could help nations and companies navigate the diverse challenges of operating in a unique context with environmental, safety, cultural and human rights issues.

Panel: • Dr. Joe Asamoah, Enerwise Africa • Kojo Efonam, EPA Ghana• Charles James, Petroleum Commission, Ghana

11:00-13:00 Occupational Safety Technical Session – Ballroom II

Session Chairperson(s): Philomina Donkor, GNPC and Beatrice Spaine, Shell

Studies and experiences have shown that bad occupational safety practices in the work place decrease workers performance leading to decline in productivity thereby affecting the company as whole. The Health and Safety Executive (HSE), reported for the year 2014/15 that 27.3 million working days were lost due to the work-related injuries and illness.In recent years, globalization of the world’s economies and its repercussions have been perceived as the greatest force for change in the world of work, and consequently in the scope of occupational safety and health, in both positive and negative ways. Liberalization of world trade, rapid technological progress, significant developments in transport and communication, shifting patterns of employment, changes in work organization practices, the different employment patterns of men and women, and the size, structure and life cycles of enterprises and of new technologies has generated new types and patterns of hazards, exposures and risks.It has therefore become essential for companies to implement and ensure the success of occupational safety programs in their various work places.

JUBILEE PARTNERSHIP

Ghana’s world-class Jubilee field was discovered in 2007 by the Mahogany-1 (M-1) and Hyedua-1 (H-1) exploration wells. The two wells were drilled some 5 km apart and intersected large continuous accumulations of light sweet crude oil. The M-1 and H-1 wells discovered large net pays of 95m and 41m respectively in high-quality stacked reservoir sands. In July 2009, the Minister of Energy approved the Phase 1 Plan of Development which included the use of an FPSO with a facility capacity of 120,000 bopd. In December 2010, the field came on-stream and production has gradually been ramping up. During the 2015 average production was 102,600 bopd. The Jubilee Phase 1A development project, designed to increase production and recover additional reserves, was approved by the Government of Ghana in January 2012. Phase 1A consisted of eight additional wells which included five producers and three water injectors. During 2015, Jubilee Phase 1A drilling and completions continued with two oil producers coming on stream in September and December.
