By J. Brock (FINN)
Mrs Phyll Rendell, Head of the Mineral Resources Department, has reported that since the last meeting in February there has been a hive of activity with two overseas visits that have been widely reported.
In early March a joint operators’ meeting took place in Edinburgh. Mrs Rendell and Councillor Rendell attended the meeting. Mrs Rendell, Phil Richards and Bob Gatliff from BGS met with company representatives privately during the main event. “Meetings were also held the day before the joint session, reports Mrs Rendell
According to Mrs Rendell, Licensees have joint meetings in London every few months but it was agreed when all the companies travelled to Stanley for meetings in October last year that a joint session hosted by FIG/BGS would be appropriate to ensure that both industry and the regulators could have a further opportunity to discuss matters related to offshore exploration and coordinate activities. She went on to say that all the licensees were represented and a very useful dialogue was had, particularly in relation to data sharing and release and guidelines for well designs.
