Regional Focus: Industry Considerations in High Risk Areas

 

Thursday, April 25, 2013: Geological Society: (9.00 - 17.00)

 

Following recent high profile cases of piracy, terrorist attacks and kidnapping, there has never been a more critical time for companies to ensure the safety of their staff and assets in high risk areas. This seminar will bring together experts in the fields of piracy, corruption, HSE and security. Speakers will also speak about their experience of operating in high risk regions, such as Nigeria, East Africa and Egypt.

 

This seminar is aimed at all oil and gas professionals currently involved or looking to invest in these regions. Knowing the challenges and meeting the experts who can help keep your people and investments safe must be the highest priority. If you intend to visit or live in these regions, you should not miss this opportunity to learn more about how to protect yourself and even potentially your family.
