Improving HSSE performance and contributing to value creation
The purpose and vision of the Subsea Committee is to improve performance and contribute to value creation with a focus on the following priority areas and supporting themes:
Priority area: HSSE (Health, Safety, Security, Environment)
- Supporting theme: lifetime extension
Priority area: SSI (Simplification, Standardization, Industrialization)
- Supporting themes: application of robotics and digital technologies through qualification alignment and supplier engagement
Priority area: CCS (Carbon Capture and Sequestration)
- Supporting themes: HSSE and SSI areas with supporting themes
Priority area: Flexible Pipe
- The Flexible Pipe Subcommittee provides a forum for international operators to share knowledge and experience of flexible pipe operation, integrity management, and service life assessment to continuously reduce safety & environmental risks and improve overall lifetime costs
