3 Preface In general 2012 was a successful year for IRO members. This report will give you some insight into the activities deployed by the IRO team to support our members in improving their results was also a year of changes within the association. At the annual IRO member meeting it was decided that due to the packed agendas of our (board) members, the effectiveness and efficiency of the working group and committee meetings should improve. To achieve this it was decided to reduce the total number of board members from 17 to 10 and to improve the outcome of meetings by the introduction of committees chaired by board members. Members participating in these committees exchange experience and discuss the latest developments and challenges. The chairs will share this with the other board members and give feed back to the committee in return. In this way the link between members and board will be more direct, the outcome more demand driven and will be a good guide for the approach of the IRO team in the executive office in supporting the members. This year it was also decided that the IRO office will move from Zoetermeer to Rotterdam by the first of July During the year there was a full programme with international and national exhibitions, seminars, trade missions, a state visit, member meet member meetings and teaming up with national and international fellow organizations, various educational institutes and government officials. As well as renowned and market-leading companies, the association consists of small and medium sized member companies that are internationally very well received for their reliability, quality and innovative solutions. To facilitate and promote these IRO members and to promote the Dutch suppliers in the Oil and Gas industry all over the world are good reasons to keep growing as an association not only next year but in the years to come. Since its foundation in 1971 IRO has promoted the interests of the Dutch supply and service companies in the upstream oil and gas industry. Members cover all activities involved in the supply industry such as engineering, field development, pipeline installation, maintenance, manufacturing and material & equipment supply onshore as well as offshore. IRO

4 Innovative Technology Innovation is crucial for the oil and gas industry as the new finds of oil and gas are often at difficult locations such as deep offshore and arctic areas. Bringing down the ever growing costs of exploration and production is also an important issue together with improving and increasing the production from existing fields. Innovation contract for the top sector gas Nine top sectors have been selected by the Dutch government for further support. Energy is one of these top sectors. IRO, in conjunction with NOGEPA and EBN, set up a strong concerted lobby campaign to get oil and gas on the agenda under the top sector energy. The Ministry of Economic Affairs has selected gas as focus area for innovation within the top sector Energy. The main government goal is to realize the ambition of 30/30: Produce 30 billion m³ gas in 2030 from the marginal fields in the Netherlands. As a result the Ministry of Economic Affairs has made an additional budget available for innovation in the field of gas technology, on top of the existing budget in favour of TNO, ECN and NWO, starting in 2012 with 71 Million EURO. In order to be able to profit from the additional subsidies, the industry has to participate in knowledge development in the form of public/private partnerships; the so called innovation contracts. To stimulate cooperation with research institutes an extra fiscal incentive is available (RDA+). A number of innovation contracts for upstream oil and gas have been established: upstream gas, unconventional gas and LNG. An information meeting on March 21 st 2012 organized by IRO in cooperation with TNO had to be cancelled due to lack of interest from IRO members. Alternatively the innovation contracts for upstream gas were presented at an IRO Gas Group (IGG) meeting at EUROLOOP on June 13 th Only 13 persons participated in this meeting. Innovation contract Wind op Zee Under the top sector Energy there is also another innovation contract interesting for IRO members: Innovation contract Wind op Zee. This innovation contract was presented to IRO members at an IRO Offshore Wind Group meeting on the 22 nd of March at Ampelmann BV at the RDM Campus in Rotterdam. Green Deal Offshore Wind Energy The Dutch Government and The Netherlands Wind Energy Association signed a Green Deal Offshore Wind Energy (an innovation contract under the top sectors policy) the purpose of which is to lower the cost of offshore wind energy by innovation. A package of incentives is available for companies participating in the Green Deal. NWEA has formed a coalition of companies that will participate in the Green Deal. A large number of IOWG members are already signed up for the Green Deal coalition. (See for more information). Innovation contract top sector Water Besides the top sector Energy, the top sector Water is also interesting for IRO as the maritime industry is included under this sector. IRO members are welcome to participate in innovation contracts for the maritime industry. On the 3 rd of April and the 7 th of November 2012 seminars on this subject were organized by NML. All IRO members received an invitation. A problem exists in interesting SME companies to participate in the Innovation contract programs. IRO will make an extra effort to interest SME to participate. 4 IRO Annual Report 2012

5 Maritime Innovation Program (MIP) The Maritime Innovation Program for the maritime manufacturing industry and the offshore industry came to an end in With the received subsidy of EUR 35 million, a total of EUR 95 million on projects has been realised. The results of the program have been published in a booklet : Éen Terugblik Vooruit IRO KIVI NIRIA lecture Offshore Technology section of Kivi Niria organizes monthly Thursday evening lectures on innovative technology. IRO was asked to host an evening lecture on October 18 th Theme of the IRO evening was offshore technology from the oil and gas industry for the offshore wind energy industry. Besides a general introduction by Chris Westra of We@Sea, IRO members were given the opportunity to present their innovations for the offshore wind industry. IRO member that gave presentations were: Seaway Heavy Lifting, IHC Hydrohammer and Offshore Solutions. Decommissioning seminar On the 24 th of October 2012 IRO in cooperation with Decom North Sea and Navingo, organized a decommissioning seminar at Offshore Energy in the RAI in Amsterdam. Speakers at this seminar were: Brian Nixon of Decom North Sea, who gave an overview of the enormous opportunities in the North Sea. Ian Riach of CNR International gave an update of the plans for the Murchison platform decommissioning. Michiel Schoenmaekers of Smit Marine Projects presented a case study on the removal of Wintershall platforms Q8A and Q8B. Arnoud Bosch of Seaway Heavy Lifting gave a presentation on the Shell Inde decommissioning project. Third party technology conferences endorsed by IRO IRO endorsed, promoted and sponsored a number of conferences and exhibitions organized by third parties in the Netherlands: Offshore Pipeline Technology (OPT) March 6 th and 7 th 2012 Harsh Weather Summit May 22 nd and 23 rd 2012 IADC Drilling HSE Europe 2012 (Energy Wise) September 26 th and 27 th 2012 IIR Reuse and Decommissioning seminar of offshore platform in the Southern North-Sea October 2 nd and 3 rd 2012 Marine and offshore automation seminar On the 8 th of November Federation of Technology Branches organized a seminar on automation in the marine and offshore Industry. The event took place at the RDM campus in Rotterdam and was endorsed by IRO. Regulatory Affairs European offshore safety regulations Triggered by the Macondo disaster in the Gulf of Mexico the European Commission is planning to introduce European offshore safety regulations. European oil and gas countries with well-developed offshore safety regulations are in general against the EU plans and would favour an EU directive instead of a regulation, as they would then be able to keep their own regulations in place. The Dutch Government SODM was initialy in favour of a regulation. The position paper of the Dutch Government can be found at Kamerstuk BNC-fiche , nr NOGEPA and IRO, along with most oil and gas organizations in Europe, are against a regulation and prefer a directive. NOGEPA made a position paper which is backed by IRO. The NOGEPA position paper can be found at On the 5 th of April 2012 IRO, in cooperation with NOGEPA, organized a meeting at Allseas Engineering in Delft to inform members about this new regulation. About 70 IRO members attended the meeting. The status by the end of the year 2012 is that general feeling is that the EC will decide to go for a directiv in Standardisation of safety training for offshore wind personnel EWEA, The European Wind Energy Association coordinates an initiative on safety training standardization for personnel working at offshore wind projects. Niilo Alakopsa of Falck Nutec participated in this working group on behalf of the IRO Safety Training Group and the IRO Offshore Wind Energy Group. Harmonization of safety standards for offshore wind crew boats and installation vessels IRO was contacted by the Ministry of Infrastructure and Environment which is considering a harmonization process with other European countries on safety standards for offshore wind Installation vessels and small service boats. However the ministry will only engage in such a process if there is enough interest from the Dutch industry. On January 17 th and November 22 nd of 2012 the Ministry of Infrastructure and Environment organized meetings on this subject. IOWG and ISTG members were asked to express their interest. Seaway Heavy Lifting, Gusto and Windcat, who were present at the meetings, have given their input. Underwater noise study The underwater noise study is in progress. On the 20 th of June 2012 a second user s advisory committee meeting was held to give an account of what has been done so far. The study focuses on the effects of pile driving, by the offshore wind energy industry, on fish and sea mammals. The study will be executed by two PhD students and one senior scientist and will take four years to complete. The study is sponsored by the government, NOGEPA and four IRO members. Sponsors of the study from the suppliers side are IHC, Jumbo Offshore, Seaway Heavy Lifting and Heerema Marine Contractors. NEN ISO and EN norms in the oil and gas industry IRO is an active participant in the norm committee Gas- and oil exploration and production of the NEN. This norm committee is involved in the realization of ISO and EN standards for the oil and gas exploration and production. IRO

6 Export promotion Export promotion remains an important IRO activity. In 2012 a large number of activities were organized. Participation in oil and gas exhibitions, outgoing trade missions and other export promotional activities were held. Some of these export promotion activities were organized by IRO. In other cases the lead was taken by organizations like FME, HME, EVD, other (foreign) associations, embassies etc. On & Offshore Gorinchem and Iraq Seminar From March 2012 IRO was present with an information booth at the On & Offshore exhibition in Gorinchem. More than 195 companies active in the oil, gas, (petro) chemical and dredging industries, of which 30 were IRO members, were represented at the stand,. The three-day exhibition drew 5,316 visitors. During On & Offshore on 28 March, IRO organized a seminar on doing business in Iraq. With 143 billion barrels Iraq has the third largest oil reserves in the world. However production has fallen sharply over the years due to instability in the country. Iraq is now investing heavily in an effort to rebuild its oil and gas industry. In the last few years Iraq, through bidding rounds, concluded service contracts with IOC s and National Oil Companies mostly in consortia for the additional development of existing brown fields and development of some discovered and appraised fields (green fields). For instance the Iraq Oil Ministry, Royal Dutch Shell and Mitsubishi signed a $17 billion dollar deal to help re-build existing and develop new infrastructure in order to process natural gas. Dr. H.E. Abdulmajeed Saad Ibrahim Al Ali, the Iraqi ambassador in The Hague, gave a presentation on Iraq. The Dutch ambassador in Baghdad, Iraq, H.E. Jeroen Roodenburg, gave a presentation on doing business in Iraq in general. Subsequently, Hans Nijkamp, vice president and country chairman Iraq for Shell Upstream International, gave a presentation on doing business in the oil and gas industry in Iraq. After that Sander Pielkenrood, Managing Director of Pielkenrood Group and Chris Schomper, Business Development Manager of A.Hak Industrial Services gave presentations about their experiences with doing business in Iraq s oil and gas industry. Over 50 participants attended the presentations. After the seminar they also had the opportunity to visit the On & Offshore exhibition. A follow up in the form of a participation in the BASRA Oil & Gas Fair (6-9 December 2012) had to be cancelled due to a lack of interest. Dutch Energy Solutions Under the Dutch Energy Solutions programme the IRO and FME CWM 2g@there programme, the following activities were organized in 2012: A trade mission to Abu Dhabi 7-10 January 2012 The combination of this mission with a state visit of H.M. the Queen Beatrix proved to be a great success as the mission was received on the highest levels. Incoming oil and gas mission from Kuwait April 2012 The mission consisted of eight representatives from the oil and gas industry in Kuwait. The program included visits to the Ministry of Economic Affairs, Agriculture and 6 IRO Annual Report 2012

7 Innovation, Shell, the Port of Rotterdam, Gate, Kuwait Oil Company and a matchmaking with the Dutch oil and gas supply industry. Middle East Economic Digest (MEED) presentation 11 May FME Zoetermeer Angus Hindley of MEED gave a presentation on developments in the oil, gas and power industry in the Gulf region. Trade Mission to Qatar 1-3 October 2012 From October 1 st until October 3rd the DES Oil & Gas Trade Mission to Qatar took place in and around Doha. DES, that stands for Dutch Energy Solutions, is a program to promote Dutch companies involved as suppliers in the Oil & Gas Industry around the Arabian Gulf. On behalf of Shell Qatar Mr. Christaan van der Wouden gave a presentation about doing business in Qatar in general. For all participating companies it was very obvious that the Qatari are very much interested in doing business with Dutch Suppliers. This interest was shown by the number of relevant managers they involved in the match making sessions and the time they took for these meetings. Since they are looking for reliable partners that can provide them with the best quality and with eyes for environmental aspects against a reasonable rate, there are a lot of opportunities for Dutch suppliers to provide them with exactly that to realize the very ambitious projects that are still to come in Qatar. IRO Oil and gas Mission to Aberdeen September 2012 From November 2012 IRO in cooperation with the Netherlands British Chamber of Commerce organized an oil and gas mission to Aberdeen. 10 Companies participated in this mission.

IRO exhibited together with NOGEPA. IRO also organized a Decommissioning seminar in cooperation with Decom North Sea and Navingo (see heading Innovations). IRO

10 Network events Several times a year IRO organizes meetings with and for members. The main goal of these meetings is to give members the opportunity to meet and exchange ideas and to do business successfully by using the vast network of the association. In general the host company gives a presentation about its activities followed by an excursion and network drinks. For the host company this is a great opportunity to give greater insight into the business it is in. To create a larger network, IRO also organizes meetings where non-members are invited. IRO New Year s Reception On Wednesday 11 January 2012 the IRO New Year s reception was held at Sociëteit de Witte in Den Haag. IRO Chairman Pieter van Oord and Managing Director Sander Vergroesen welcomed the guests. Former chairman of IRO, Gert-Jan Kramer, was presented a Certificate of Honorary Membership by Pieter van Oord, in appreciation for his efforts as IRO Chairman in the period Besides IRO members there were also a number of special guests, including representatives from embassies of prominent oil countries. The reception was very well attended by 270 guests! Oil & Gas Industry Forecast 2012 The Dutch suppliers to the oil and gas industry in 2011 had more turnover than expected. This was shown by the annual survey by Ernst & Young among the suppliers in the oil and gas sector, which was presented at the Oil & Gas Industry Forecast on 31 January 2012 in Rotterdam. Over 230 guests attended the annual meeting. Most of the suppliers saw their revenues rise compared with the previous year. Although the crisis has clearly led to uncertainty and hesitation in the market, the oil and gas industry suffered relatively little, says Jeff Sluijter, partner at Ernst and Young. Most of these companies are now focused on external activities. The fundamentals of the industry generally remain strong because the global demand for energy - and the associated investment continues to rise in the coming decades because of the fast growing markets. On the longer term there is reason for more optimism, as the current economic challenges will not be permanent. The majority of the respondents this year will have further growth in orders and sales. The main bottlenecks that may play a role are the shortage of qualified personnel and increased competition. Corporate Social Responsibility The study also shows that although most companies have extensive internal rules related to environment and safety, there is still relatively little external convey in the field of CSR. Jan-Peter Balkenende, expert in the field of corporate social responsibility at Ernst & Young also gave a presentation at the meeting: Sustainability is becoming higher on the agenda of companies and is also considered more and more as a business driver. This assumes that companies are transparent in their objectives and their realization. It is not without reason that financial and social policies are increasingly integrated. The annual Oil & Gas Industry Forecast event was organized by IRO, Ernst & Young and Gulf Publishing Company. Publishers of the magazines World Oil and Hydrocarbon Processing also gave their perspectives on the developments in the oil and gas industry. Crispian McCredie from Alboran Energy Strategy Consultants also gave his view on Corporate and Social Responsibility in his typical animated way. Last year a contest was held where the participants had to leave their business cards with the answer to the following question: How many wells were drilled in 2011?. Michiel Wijsmuller, President of Offshore Ship Designers, came closest to the right answer which was 101,226 wells drilled worldwide in IRO Annual Report 2012

11 Members meeting IRO/CEDA On 8 March 2012 a successful meeting was organized for CEDA and IRO members with the theme Trenching for cables, pipes and tubes. Erik de Haas, Proposals Manager Boskalis Offshore, gave a presentation on pre- or post-lay trenching: practical considerations from a dredgers point of view. Bart van Mierlo of Periplus gave a presentation on the geophysical aspects of trenching in his presentation Trouble in Trenching. The dredging processes during trenching were discussed by Prof. Dr. Cees van Rhee, Offshore and Dredging Engineering, Delft University of Technology. Around 160 people attended the IRO/CEDA meeting. This annual joint meeting is a great opportunity for IRO and CEDA members to meet and share ideas. Members meeting at Heinen & Hopman Engineering On Thursday 12 April an IRO members meeting took place at Heinen & Hopman Engineering in Spakenburg.

12 Employment & Education IRO together with NOGEPA continues efforts to attract more qualified young staff to our industry. At various levels input was given into educational programmes and events. Education highlights Helma Cruts left the IRO & Nogepa in May 2012 and she was succeeded by Chris Wijsman. Education In 2012 the support to Minors for the Offshore & Oil Gas was continued and extended. In January 2012, 78 students finished the minor Offshore engineering & automation at Avans Hogeschool Den Bosch. In September a new group started with 52 participants. Over 20 companies including IRO and Nogepa are involved in lecturing, providing excursions and coaching. In cooperation with IRO & KIVI NIRIA, Avans Hogeschool organized an offshore seminar on Nov 1st. Besides various speakers from the industry the students also presented their projectwork. IRO presented prizes for the best project. The new Minor Offshore Oil and Gas in MCN Den Helder which started for the first time in 2011 finished in January with 12 students. In September the next group started with 16 students. Both Nogepa and IRO members were involved in (guest) lecturing and providing excursions. The development of the Bachelor and MBO-level programs for Maritime Technology has been finalized. With input and support from four branch organizations (Hiswa, Scheepsbouw Nederland, the Vereniging van Waterbouwers, and IRO) this program was developed for the NHL Hogeschool in Leeuwarden and ROC Friese Poort in Sneek. It also included STC Group and Hogeschool Rotterdam who will develop similar programmes for the southwest of the Netherlands. A start has been made to combine the effort of HBO Schools into an HBO Offshore Network, the NHL Leeuwarden, Avans Hogeschool from Den Bosch and the Hogeschool Rotterdam. Within the Network the schools will exchange curricula and their experience with different Minors for Oil & Gas and Offshore Engineering. Course Oil and Gas Well Sourced The IRO course Oil & Gas Well Sourced is a non-technical course in Rotterdam that gives insight as to how Oil and Gas are formed, explored and produced and gives an overview of how the industry works. The course is presented by experts in the Oil and Gas industry and is given in English or Dutch. In 2012 the course was presented 11 times, 7 in Dutch and 4 in the English language, in total 164 participants attended the course. The course will be continued in Costs for participation are 495 per person for IRO members and 795 per person for non-members (excl. VAT). There are opportunities to organize an in-house course for your employees on your own premises, contact us for more information. NML IRO, as a member of NML, is involved in the new set-up of the NML and takes part in the Human Capital Council of the NML. The main topics, which were started in 2012, are the improvement of employment survey, image improvement, and intake improvement from technical school. The topics are in a preliminary stage and will be further developed in IRO Annual Report 2012

13 of the offshore-firms who took part in this survey was 195 employees. The percentage of vacancies in the offshore sector is 4% extrapolated for the sector it means there are +675 job-openings. Conferences IRO together with Nogepa were present at the Maritime & Offshore Career Event in May in Rotterdam and at the Offshore Energy Conference in October in the RAI, Amsterdam in order to promote our industry and to attract students for the vacancies in our sector. Sponsoring In order to improve our image and to promote Technology, Offshore Engineering and Oil & Gas the following projects were sponsored: Vletten op de Maas, Techniektoernooi, Delft Offshore Symposium, Techniektoernooi, Minor Oil & Gas Den Helder, Avans Offshore Seminar, Mijnbouwkundige Vereeniging, Job Fair Go4It in Alphen ad Rijn. Employment Survey - Arbeidsmarktenquete Maritieme Monitor 2012 NML The IRO has received the results of the Employment Survey. The survey was initiated by the NML and executed by the end of The information from 155 firms from the Maritime cluster was received for 7 sectors (sea-transport, navy, shipbuilding, offshore, inland shipping, dredging and marine equipment supply). Work plan 2013 At the end of 2012 a preliminary project plan for Education and Employment was developed for IRO & Nogepa, this plan will be further developed by the newly formed Human Resource & Safety committee (HRSC) which is chaired by Paul Koop, board member of IRO. These firms represent more than 30,000 employees, which is about 40% of the direct employees of the above maritime sectors. For the offshore sector 32 firms in total have reacted representing 6252 employees which is about 37% of this sector. The average size IRO

14 Committees and Working Groups At the IRO General Assembly Meeting on the 22 nd November 2012 the IRO Board announced changes to the IRO committees and working groups. The under mentioned committees and working groups were replaced after November 2012 by the following Committees: Commercial & Financial Affairs IRO Export and Public Relations Committee IRO Gas Committee Human Resources and Safety Committee Innovation and Regulatory Affairs Committee Offshore Renewable Installations Committee Well Services and Drilling Committee New is that the chairs of the committees are also IRO board members and that there is no participation fee applicable any more. The committees have a policy advisory role and also serve as a sounding board for the association. They are chaired by a member of the Executive Board of the association. In order to create a good link between the Board, committees, the association and its members, all committee members are IRO members. The committees are a reflection of the companies that IRO represents as an association. IRO Committee on Commercial and Financial Affairs (CCFZ) The CCFZ only gathered once in The CCFZ meeting was combined with the IEG meeting on the March 12 th The main topic was the IRO export promotion plan for IRO Committee on Technical and Regulatory Affairs The CCFZ was held on the 5 th of April 2012 at Allseas Engineering in Delft and was combined with a presentation about the new EU offshore safety regulations. Other subjects at the meeting were the Innovation Contracts and the IRO Innovation seminar 2013 IRO Well Services Group The IWSG meetings are concentrating on safety regulations in the oil and gas industry. In 2012 IWSG meetings took place on the 27 th March at IRO in Zoetermeer, on the 27 th of June at the Well Academy in Apeldoorn and on the 20th of September at Resato International in Roden. Subjects were: Schietmeester training. As the present Schietmeester training does not fulfill the requirements of the industry, the IWSG in cooperation with SODM is working on an alternative training course where the companies can arrange their own NOGEPA certified training. The IWSG made a proposal for the content of the training. Other subjects were the danger of pressure; learning from incidents/best practices and the topsector innovation contract upstream gas. IRO Safety and Training Group (ISTG) The ISTG meetings were held on the 22 nd of March and the 18 th of October of The main subjects of the ISTG meeting were the adaptation in the NOGEPA training manual: European offshore safety regulation; standardization of safety training for 14 IRO Annual Report 2012

16 Cooperation with other organizations Over the year much attention was again paid to cooperation with other organizations and associations in order to exchange information and to share common areas of interest. In the field of export promotion, a number of activities and events were organized jointly, or with the support of, the Netherlands Foreign Trade Agency (Agentschap NL / EVD), Netherlands embassies and consulates abroad, the Dutch Maritime Network (NML) and FME-CWM. Exchange of professional information took place with the Netherlands Diving Centre (NDC), the Royal Institution of Engineers (KIVI NIRIA), the Central Dredging Association (CEDA), FME-CWM and various NML partners. Several joint activities like technical seminars and presentations were organized during the year. IRO likes to thank these organizations for their generous co-operation. On a national level IRO maintained its close ties with NOGEPA and a frequent exchange of views took place on a number of subjects of mutual interest. The joint IRO/NOGEPA project on education and employment was further extended during the year and will be continued in IRO also participated again in the regular consultation meetings with the State Supervision of Mines (SodM), NOGEPA and IADC. These meetings have proven to be a very successful medium in which to exchange information and to agree on common stands regarding topics like legislation, HSE issues and labour conditions. The Dutch Maritime Trade Board (NML) As from January 2012 the Dutch Maritime Trade Board (NML) has been transformed from a predominantly government organization into a company sponsored organization. IRO is committed to continue its participation in the Dutch Maritime Trade Board new style. IRO has taken up the task of the secretariat of the NML Trade Council. Furthermore IRO participates in the innovation, Public Relation and the Human Capital councils. By the end of 2012 there was still some limited financial support available from the Ministry of Infrastructure and Environment. Support from NML was received for organizing a Holland Lounge at OSEA Singapore November 2012 and for a trade mission to Aberdeen September 2012 (see separate headings for more detailed information) On an international level, the useful and pleasant co-operation with our European sister organizations was maintained through the informal EURONET network. EURONET now consists of the national associations of the United Kingdom (EIC, Energy North, ITF, Decom North Sea), Norway (Norsk Industri), Denmark (DMOG), Belgium (Agoria CEC), France (GEP-AFTP) and The Netherlands (IRO). 16 IRO Annual Report 2012
