minds inside Oil & Gas

Question: What steps will your sector need to take to become more environmentally sustainable?

The industry not only needs to continue upgrading its technologies, but also maintain high standards in the education of drivers to help minimise carbon emissions and maximise fuel economies

Ziyad Mohammed, Operations Manager, Cardiff General Transport

As a family-owned company, we try to lead from the front with the desire to meet the net-zero demands. We have invested in solar panels and we are evolving our targets. Similarly, it remains an environment of transition for the rest of our industry

Tom Beales, Director, Armultra

I think the industry is still in its infancy when we talk about being net zero. However, it is moving in the right direction in becoming more environmentally conscious and ensuring our collective carbon footprint is reduced

Fuad Nazim, Executive Director, PetroGas Piping

There’s already a big programme in oil and gas to decarbonise and to extract fuels in a more sustainable way. Similarly, in renewables, operators are taking measures and pushing the likes of CRP Subsea to improve their carbon footprint. I think these pressures will be applied continually for the foreseeable future

John Drury, Managing Director, CRP Subsea

I believe that drilling rigs and oilfield equipment are extremely necessary for the security of society’s energy needs. However, we need to improve the way that we do things as an industry. Technology will play an increasingly important role and companies will need to become greener to survive, meaning lower carbon emissions, intelligent designs, reduction of fuel consumption, optimisation of drilling processes and other factors

Bernardo Pettenatti, Business Development & Contracts Manager, Caroil

Ship operations will need to become more environmentally friendly. This is achievable for now through better efficiency and new hull designs. Happily, the shipping industry - which is quite technologically driven - is taking big steps forward and in my experience, when the industry moves, it’s in the right direction

Giles Heimann, Operations & Ship Management Director, EDT Offshore

First of all, they need to limit their emissions. So, all of the plants that extract gas or oil, should create carbon capture fields in order to inject the waste of CO2 during the process of extracting the oil or gas. Carbon capture fields are something that is really on the mind of every end-user for investing. And the second thing is to push for hydrogen as a renewable energy for the future

Armando Albertazzi, Business Development Director, DVG Automation SpA

Our launch of Sol Ecolution is the answer. It’s how we’ll make our business more sustainable, while also helping our customers, stakeholders, governments and so forth, to become more sustainable. Our Group’s commitment to Sol Ecolution in terms of capital, people and other resources is a demonstration of that

Dami Adesegha, Regional Manager, Sol Ecolution

We continuously bring new technology to the flag states and regulatory societies, supporting them to update and improve the codes and in so doing, to improve our sector’s sustainability. We play a big part in that and have done so for many years

Charles Kohnen, Co-Founder, SEAmagine
