Exploration in Environmentally Sensitive
Areas - Lessons learned from Australian
experience
Dr Tim Kemmitt, Principal Research Scientist, Callaghan
Innovation Centre
Innovation is the lifeblood of successful businesses. It
can take many forms from a simple adjustment in the
way things are accomplished, reported or delivered,
to a game changing development or adoption of new
technology.
Lucy Muir, Environment Manager, S2V Consulting
With the exception of the Taranaki Basin, much of the
New Zealand Exclusive Economic Zone has been subject
to little oil and gas exploration, and existing baseline
ecological data is often lacking. Case studies of oil and
gas exploration (seismic surveys and exploration drilling)
in two highly sensitive and relatively unexplored regions
of Australia will be presented covering the issues which
arose during the preparation for exploration activities
and the mitigation measures used to reduce potential
impacts to environmental sensitivities with conclusions
for New Zealand.
Lucy Muir is a degree-qualified marine biologist and
oceanographer who has worked in the fields of marine
conservation and oil and gas exploration and production
for over 7 years.

The importance of Health Incident Plans in
the Oil and Gas Industry
The presentation will cover several case studies of R&D
projects.
Dr Tim Kemmitt completed his PhD at the University of
Southampton and worked in New Zealand since 1989 as
a materials research professional. Currently employed as
a researcher and technical expert in coatings, thin-films,
and nanotechnology at Callaghan Innovation.

Efficiency in the Oil and Gas Supply Chain:
Working in partnership, achieving the goal
Joint presentation by Jim Burkett, Brad Kemp and
Justin Kyngdon from Expeditors
Oil and Gas companies that successfully utilise their
supply chain data can leverage it as a competitive
advantage. Big data and analytics systems offer oil
and gas companies the chance to semi-automate their
logistics and supply chain operations and to make better
informed procurement decisions.
Dr Andrew Ebringer, Medical Director, International SOS
An infectious disease outbreak can very quickly render
a vessel, rig or site inoperative, adding huge additional
costs to projects. Having a plan to deal with a health
incident is vital.

2.15pm
The Next Generation of Topside Process
Simulator – A Sample Case Study
John Koo, Senior Vice President, Global Technology
Operations, KBC Advanced Technology Pte Ltd
This presentation will use a case study of a norovirus
outbreak on a vessel with more than 120 workers to
outline the elements of an effective health incident plan.
Process simulation modelling is an essential tool for
forecasting and optimization of surface facilities for oil
and gas fields, under development or in operation. Next
generation products enable more effective and efficient
facilities process studies on a single software platform.
Dr Ebringer, oversees the delivery of medical services,
including occupational health, to major energy, mining
and infrastructure client sites in the Australasian region.
In this role Dr Ebringer also develops and coordinates
control programs for malaria and other vector borne
diseases and provides clinical governance leadership to
site health staff.
John Koo is the Senior Vice President for Global
Technology Operations for KBC Advanced Technology
Pte Ltd. He has more than 24 years’ experience with KBC
in various assignments in USA, Europe, South America,
Middle East, and Asia.

A review of methodologies of Seismic
Noise Monitoring
Liam Hodgetts was educated at Auckland University and
started his professional life as an urban planner in New
Zealand. He has extensive experience in Australia and
New Zealand in long-term planning, statutory planning
and economic development.
Sofia Patricio, Marine Acoustic Scientist, Gardline
The need for monitoring noise of anthropogenic
activities is increasing globally in line with appropriate
local legislation. Currently there is no standard for the
monitoring of seismic noise. Previous noise assessment
surveys have used the seismic streamer itself to make
acoustic recordings, which produces data with many
limitations. A review of the methodologies available
is therefore essential in order to obtain reliable and
accurate results for the assessment of noise against the
MMIA.

SUNDOWNER NETWORKING FUNCTION
Driving Culture Change is a Key to
Improving Safety in the Workplace
Andrew Wilson, DuPont Sustainable Solutions, DuPont
Australia Pty Ltd
Too much attention is being paid to ‘ticking the box’
with regulations and not enough time and effort is
being invested in driving cultural change across the
workforce. Through a conscious decision to change, the
industry and individual organisations can move from a
production-concentration to a focus on business results
and productivity being improved through a highperformance safety culture.
Sofia Patricio is lead consultant on NZ sound transmission
loss modelling, ground truthing projects and
development of Marine Mammal Impact Assessments
(MMIA) under the NZ Department of Conservation 2013
Code of Conduct for Minimising Acoustic Disturbance to
Marine Mammals from Seismic Survey Operations. She
is responsible for the development and implementation
of acoustic mitigation, monitoring and recording for
Gardline’s Marine Wildlife Department projects.

TERMS OF ENGAGEMENT
Liam Hodgetts, General Manager Strategy, New Plymouth
District Council
Territorial authority regulators and operators need to
better understand each other’s responsibilities and
challenges. The regulatory process is the “statutory
minimum” but early engagement can make the process
so much smoother. Open and honest communications
are win win – for the industry, the regulators and the
community. The four Councils in Taranaki have agreed
to work together to improve the regulatory approach to
oil and gas in the region. This will have direct benefits
for the industry by ensuring greater consistency in the
planning process, but also greater transparency for the
community.

WHY THE COMMON APPROACH TO ASSET
CRITICALITY IS EXPOSING US TO RISK
Peter Nichols, Principal Asset Performance Consultant, ITL
Asset criticality is a key tool to enable business to
prioritise their focus and effort, in theory ensuring that
with limited resources the most important aspects of
our operations get the lion’s share of the attention. In
reality though, flawed assessments potentially mask real,
tangible risks to people and operations and misdirect
effort as a result. This paper considers the commonly
applied methodologies for the determination of
asset criticality, focussing specifically on where these
assessments fail. Further it will propose an alternate,
augmented approach that provides a more realistic
assessment of real business risk, ensuring that the
limited resources available are utilised most efficiently in
minimising that risk.
With over 19 years industry experience, Peter Nichols is
a highly skilled and qualified engineer who has worked
across a wide range of industries including mining, oil &
gas, manufacturing, waste water and power generation.
Recent projects include maintenance improvement
projects with optimized work management processes,
structural reorganization of maintenance departments,
optimization of asset management strategies for diverse
Oil & Gas and mining assets and the implementation
of zero based operations and maintenance budgeting
for clients including Vector, Santos, Oil Search, Anglo
American and Loy Yang Power.
2.15pm
WELDING APPLICATIONS ON ‘IN SERVICE’
TRANSMISSION PIPELINES
Brian Aitchison and Ian Johnston, Vector
The presentation will cover weld procedures specific to ‘in
service’ applications, including case study covering recent
development work on the Maui Natural Gas Transmission
pipeline.
Brian Aitchison is a Mechanical Technician for Vector
and a CBIP weld inspector. Brian has spent over 20 years
involved with all aspects of welding, repairs, hot tapping
and plugging on high pressure transmission systems and
specialises in ‘hot tapping’ and pipeline repairs.
Ian Johnston has extensive experience (18+ years) with
various weld processes and materials, is a weld instructor
and CBIP qualified weld inspector.
