This month, leading offshore marine operator Attollo Offshore will release the first of its Attollo Conversation series which, it hopes, will help open the discussion to improve offshore operations ready for a new era through constructive disruption and change.
The series wants to address key issues of technology and innovation within the offshore energy industry, discussing the growing use of smarter technology within all industries, and its potential to provide smarter offshore operations.
Attollo has brought some of the brightest minds together to give their opinions on key industry topics – from the future of work to big data – to ignite the debate and get offshore energy industry thinking.
Ben Moore, Attollo’s managing director, explains why he has done this: “I believe this is one of the most exciting times to be in the offshore energy industry and I want us all to see where new technology and ways of working can take offshore operations in the future.
“Opportunities are changing and the challenges are considerable, but new technology that will improve the ways we work offshore more than any one is currently thinking. Old ways of working allow for shadows, for inefficiencies and hides opportunities. This new era will allow for extreme transparency and hyper-efficiency on a level that has never been able to be achieved before. We hope this series accelerates the debate and assists with the pace of change”.
One of the most powerful messages that came across during the filming of the series is the need to find ways of transferring the knowledge held by the current generation – the “soul” of the business – to the next generation, whilst encouraging change; still controlling major accident hazards, being safe and protecting the environment, without question – but improving the methods of doing so.
Ben adds: “Offshore businesses that are capable of making this shift in their operations, will clearly see the opportunity for growth, and will be able to execute on an ever more ambitious vision and scale.”
Attollo Offshore is keen to hear from those who have something to say about the future of the offshore energy industry. To take part in future interviews, please contact [email protected].
