OGUK develops problem-solving service for offshore members
Offshore staff
LONDON – Oil and Gas UK (OGUK) has opened an online knowledge-sharing network, designed to help offshore companies work collaboratively on problems and to find solutions to their efficiency issues.
Users can access the Problem-Solving Network through OGUK’s Efficiency Hub, post their problems and have them reviewed by the association’s Continuous Improvement Network.
Members of the network will source specialists in their field and attempt to provide answers.
Emily Taylor, OGUK’s Continuous Improvement Manager, said that in the current difficult environment, “the Problem-Solving Network enables companies to make quick connections and find support amongst their peers to help them achieve continuous business improvement…
“From testing the demand for the Network, we’ve seen participants requesting information on topics including how to donate personal protection equipment (PPE) to the NHS [National Health Service] and where to find examples of collaboration good practice.
“We can harness our sector’s ingenuity to find solutions to support our world-class supply chain, prolonging the productive life of the North Sea to ensure we have a competitive industry that can help deliver a net zero basin.”
Phil Simons, VP North Sea and Canada at Subsea 7 and chair of the industry’s Efficiency Task Force added: “Solving problems can be a complex and lengthy process, but it is speed and simplicity that we should push for now.
“This network provides a vehicle for connecting knowledge in a simple, structured and accurate way, to help quickly and clearly understand each problem and then form the foundations of a safe and cost-effective solution.”
