What we see in oil and gas

Six risks that recur along the value chain

Each one appears in the register with an owner, a rating and a treatment plan.

Process safety

Fires, explosions and loss of containment at operating sites.

Asset integrity

Ageing assets that fail in service, with maintenance backlogs behind them.

Environment and emissions

Spills, emissions and licence conditions that change how assets run.

Supply and logistics

Disruption from a single supplier, route or region.

Price and market

Price swings that change project value and cash flow.

Licences and regulation

Rights, licences and rules that change or lapse.

Bow-tie: loss of containment

  • Corrosion
  • Overpressure
  • Operator error
  • Equipment failure
Loss of containment
  • Fire or explosion
  • Serious injury
  • Environmental spill
  • Lost production

Each bar is a control.

Regulatory context

The frameworks your register has to answer to

We map each obligation to a risk, a control and an owner, so the register and the compliance universe are one document rather than two.

  • MPRDAMineral and petroleum rights, and environmental authorisations.
  • Petroleum Products ActLicensing of manufacturing, wholesale and retail.
  • NERSA licensingPipelines, storage and regulated activities.
  • NEMAEnvironmental management, emissions and incident duties.
  • OHS ActMajor hazard installations, workplace safety, incident reporting.
  • Companies Act and King VRisk governance for boards.

Site and corporate risk in one register

Process safety sits alongside finance, people and compliance, rated on the same scale, so the board sees one picture.
