Workshop 4
Survey, Site Investigation, and Seismic Safety Forum
Sunday, June 7th|
Convenors
- Jonathan Davis (bp)
- Andrew Briggs (bp)
Description
This workshop is a continuation of the Survey, Site Investigation, and Seismic Safety Forum, which has been hosted by bp since 2022. Attendees are senior managers and front-line staff in operators and delivery contractors who have a direct involvement in survey, site investigation and seismic operations, delivery, and safety. The workshop provides a forum to share experiences and align on potential improvement opportunities. The workshop will not trigger any formal actions – this is the choice of individual attendee companies who may decide to adjust their approach based on learnings from the workshop.
Sub-Topics that will be covered in the workshop:
To date, the workshop has focused on common safety issues, front-line crew engagement, and site safety culture. The focus areas for the 2026 workshop will be established in early 2026 based on output from a virtual workshop with previous attendees in December 2025.
Participant Profile
Attendees are senior managers or front-line staff in operators and delivery contractors who have a direct involvement in survey, site investigation, and seismic operations delivery and safety. Attendees should be willing to share their company experience with others (including competitors) to learn through sharing.
